Atalanta are coming off that remarkable 3-0 away victory against Liverpool in the Europa League and will look to carry that momentum into domestic action when they face Verona on Monday night.
Prior to the Liverpool victory, La Dea lost two in a row versus Fiorentina in the Coppa Italia and Cagliari in Serie A, so their recent form has been up and down, though that win at Anfield will give them all the confidence in the world.
Verona are fighting for their lives near the bottom of the table, only free of the relegation zone on goal difference.
