Atalanta BC vs Venezia: Atalanta BC -1 Goal Handicap (-105)

Odds available at DraftKings at time of publishing

As Atalanta BC prepares to host a struggling Venezia side, recent form suggests a comfortable home victory is on the cards. Atalanta has been firing on all cylinders, netting an impressive 2.6 goals per game in their last five outings, while Venezia has floundered, failing to score in their last five matches with a woeful average of just 0.8 goals. Defensively, Atalanta has been solid, allowing only 1.6 goals per game, while Venezia's away form reveals a dismal trend, conceding 2.2 goals on average. The xG stats tell a similar story: Atalanta is creating chances with an xG far exceeding Venezia's, whose struggles are evident with an xG of zero in their last five. With Venezia’s lack of attacking threat and Atalanta’s potent offense, betting on Atalanta to win by at least two goals seems not just wise, but almost inevitable.

Atalanta BC vs Venezia: Under 3.5 Total Goals (-185)

Odds available at DraftKings at time of publishing

As Atalanta prepares to host Venezia, the stage is set for a potential goal drought. Venezia has struggled mightily on the road, failing to score in their last five outings. Their average of just 0.8 goals per game in that stretch paints a grim picture, especially when you consider they’ve mustered a mere 14 shots across those matches. Atalanta, typically a high-scoring side, may find it tough to break down a Venezia defense that, despite its recent woes, can sit deep and absorb pressure. With Atalanta averaging 2.6 goals conceded against teams like Venezia, and both sides posting low xG numbers lately, betting on under 3.5 goals feels like a savvy play. Given Venezia's inability to find the net and Atalanta's potential to play it safe against a struggling opponent, a low-scoring affair seems more than likely.
