After a good season, Atalanta will be playing in Europe next season and they will go into the final weekend of league action on Saturday with the hopes of securing a top-four finish in Serie A. They would have to win this fixture and then hope that Lazio lose their remaining game to be able to achieve that. Chievo are just playing out the season, safely in the bottom half of the table and with nothing whatsoever to play for in this one. That should help Atalanta’s cause.

Atalanta v Chievo Betting Tips

It has been a very good season from Atalanta in Serie A this term and they have a chance of landing a fourth place finish. In order for that to happen, they have to win this game on Saturday and hope that Lazio fails to win on Sunday in their final game. Atalanta have gone W11 D4 L3 at home this season in the top flight and they are unbeaten in their last ten league home games as well in a W6 D4 record. Earlier this season Atalanta posted a big 4-1 away win over Chievo and are strong against them in the head to head. Atalanta have won their last two games against them and they have lost just one of their last eight against them as well (W3 D4). So they don’t look likely to lose and under 2.5 goals at Bet365 for a price of 13/5 as four of the last five meetings between these two have ended up under the goal line. Atalanta are unbeaten in their last five league games at home against Chievo (W3 D2). Alejandro Gomez has scored three goals in four league appearances for Atlanta against Chievo, including a brace in their previous game of this season and he is a price of 4/6 in the bet365 anytime goalscorer market.

Chievo have nothing at stake whatsoever in this game. They start the weekend in the bottom half of the table and that is where they will stay at the end of it. The highest that they could finish is 12th but they would need to win this and have other results go their way. They aren’t in great form though as they have won just the one of their last nine games in Serie A (D2 L6). So they are not likely going to trouble Atalanta too much in this one and they have been below par out on the road this season in Serie A, having gone W6 D2 L10 away from home all term. They have lost four of their last six on the road (W1 D1). Striker Roberto Inglese has reached double figure goals for the first time in Serie A and seven of those ten goals have been the road. He is a 5/2 option in the anytime goalscorer market. Chievo have conceded an average of 2.6 goals per game in this period and in the bet365 correct score market an Atalanta 2-0 result is a 17/2 quote. Not A lot of value in backing a team on the road with nothing to play for.

Atalanta v Chievo Predictions

Atalanta home win: The home side aren’t likely going to be toppled by a side in the bottom half of the table with nothing to play for. They have a bit of home form going against Chievo and look for that to continue and for them to pick up three points, probably to nil.
