Atalanta vs Chievo: Prediction
Arguably, both teams have nothing to play for. Atalanta could theoretically pip Lazio to fourth spot if the Biancocelesti stumble against Crotone, but win, lose, or draw, La Dea are headed into the Europa League group stages next season. Chievo, as noted before are already safe and players are certainly looking forward to their summer holidays.
With little pressure, both teams can relax and enjoy their football. However, given that Chievo have scored more than one goal in only five out of their last 18 away games, and Atalanta are playing at home, La Dea should be able to wrap up a strong campaign with a home victory.
