Venezia desperately need points on Monday, Oct 12 at 6:30 PM in the Serie A. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Atalanta come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 0D 3L). Venezia travel struggling badly (0W 5L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

History strongly favours Atalanta here — they've won 6 of 10 previous meetings against Venezia, with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 0–0 draw.

Verdict: Atalanta look the stronger side on current evidence. Expect them to control proceedings at home, though Venezia will make it uncomfortable. Atalanta to win.
