Verona – Bologna: Verona is the only team in the league that hasn’t won any of its 11 first games in the new season (6 draws and 5 defeats). Similarly, it has had 3 draws and 2 defeats in its 5 so far home games while it is worth mentioning that the 1-1 score appeared 4 times in these 11 games. Bologna on the other hand is coming from a 3-0 home win against Atalanta in its last game in Donadoni’s debut as head coach of the team but nevertheless, it shows severe weaknesses away from home, picking up as many points (1 win and 4 defeats) as Verona picked up from its home games.
Milan – Atalanta: Mihajlovic has managed 3 wins in his 3 so far games as head coach of Milan and today he is aiming to lead his team to a 4th consecutive win under his guidance. Milan’s last win, with 1-3 away from home against Lazio, has been especially impressive when considering the fact that Lazio had managed 5 wins in 5 home games this season. Atalanta is performing superbly at home (4 wins and 1 draw in 5 games) but its performances are completely the opposite when travelling away from home (1 win, 1 draw and 4 defeats in 6 away games).
