In a matchup that could be another lively affair in midweek, Atalanta will host fellow Serie A outfit Venezia on Wednesday afternoon when both sides turn their attention to Coppa Italia duties.

Starting with the hosts, managing to make what was an action-packed return to winning ways over the weekend, Atalanta will be keen to keep up that momentum here. In their 20 Serie A matchups so far this season, they have recorded 12 wins, five draws and three defeats, scoring 44 and conceding 26 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 41, the Blues currently find themselves sat fourth in the standings and holding a three-point buffer from slipping out of the top-four. As for their recent run of results, last seen claiming a thumping 6-2 win against Udinese on the road, that was just the second victory that Atalanta have recorded from their last five matchups across all formats. Likewise, it should also be noted, Wednesday’s hosts have seen six of their previous seven fixtures finish with over 2.5 goals.

As for the visitors, marking their return from Italy’s festive break with a downbeat display over the weekend, Venezia are firmly looking over their shoulder. In their 20 Serie A matchups so far this season, they have recorded just four wins, five draws and 11 defeats, scoring 18 and conceding 37 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 17, they currently find themselves sat down in 17th and holding a four-point buffer from slipping into the relegation zone. As for their recent run of results, last seen getting hit with a thumping 3-0 loss against AC Milan on home soil, Venezia have managed to win just one of their previous eight matchups across all formats. Likewise, it should be noted, with Wednesday’s guests seeing five of their last seven fixtures finish with over 2.5 goals, we’re backing a similar outcome here.
