It is time for the hosts to end their losing streak: Atalanta vs Venezia prediction
The sixth-round Serie A clash between Atalanta and Venezia will take place on October 12, 2026, at the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo. The hosts have lost three consecutive Serie A matches and collected six points, while the visitors have suffered defeat in all five rounds and remain without a single point.
Atalanta: Sarri’s rebuild is proving difficult so far
Maurizio Sarri’s team started the season with two wins, but then went on to lose to Roma 1-2, Cagliari 1-2 and Juventus 0-2. Across seven official matches, Atalanta have scored just six goals, clearly highlighting the difficulties involved in switching to a new playing model.
At the same time, this is precisely the kind of fixture that could provide an opportunity to reset. Atalanta have won six of their last seven Serie A matches against Venezia and kept a clean sheet in six of them.
Venezia: five defeats and serious defensive problems
Giovanni Stroppa’s team have yet to pick up a single point since returning to the top flight. Venezia have lost all five league matches and, before the international break, suffered a 0-2 defeat to Lazio.
The visitors’ main problem is their weak defense: the team are conceding almost three goals per match. The situation is further complicated by a lengthy injury list that includes Marin Sverko, Bartol Franjic, Ridgeciano Haps, Andrea Adorante and Gianluca Busio.
Match facts and head-to-head record

The hosts’ class should tell: Atalanta vs Venezia prediction
Atalanta have yet to look convincing under Sarri, but the level of their opponents gives them an excellent chance to halt their negative run. Even with problems in attack, the hosts should enjoy more possession and create more dangerous chances.
Venezia look vulnerable both in positional defense and in terms of their overall tempo, while their absences only exacerbate those problems. The match is unlikely to be a spectacle, but a narrow home advantage should be enough.
