Atalanta tries everything but draws 0-0 against Venezia, who secures their second consecutive draw. Gasperini's team doesn't take advantage of the direct clash at the top and moves to 55 points, Venezia climbs to 18 points: still second to last.

La Dea shoots 18 times but only 3 towards the goal, the team coached by Di Francesco makes itself seen in front on several occasions and creates some danger, sparing Atalanta with a wrong choice by Zerbin in the 1st half.

Zerbin's glaring mistake

In the 1st half, Venezia shoots three times and only once towards the goal, but the main opportunity infuriates Di Francesco: on a mistake by De Roon, Venezia goes on a counterattack with Zerbin, who stubbornly insists on the personal action and completely ignores Maric, free in front of the goalkeeper at the 25th minute.

So many missed xG! Worst game in the league

If in the first half La Dea concludes 8 times, hits a post with Zappacosta and hits the goal only on one occasion, the two missed headers by Retegui that were worth 0.38 and 0.35 xG make the news.

In the second half, the Italian-Argentine misses another chance from 0.22 xG with a shot to the side, closing with a deficit of 0.95 missed xG: one of the worst seasonal games in this stat.

De Ketelaere also wastes a good opportunity, challenging Radu at the 51st minute with a left-footed shot. Then Lookman is also inaccurate in the end, missing a tap-in at the 81st minute: for him only 2 successful dribbles out of 10.

Counting also these mistakes, Atalanta has produced 2.38 xG without finding the goal: it is the worst data in this Serie A for La Dea. This season, they have only done worse against Celtic in the Champions League.
