Bologna Preview
The team led by Thiago Motta has had a consistent performance in Serie A. With the result of the last match against Roma by a score of 1-0, the locals have three wins in the last five games and occupy the eleventh position in the Italian league standings, so this Bologna vs Atalanta is a great chance to enter the top ten of the competition.
Playing as locals, they are unbeaten in the last four games and in the tournament they have a record of 5 wins and 4 draws to accumulate 19 points in the Serie A.
Possible Bologna lineup (4-2-3-1): Lukasz Skorupski, Stefan Posch, Adama Soumaoro, Jhon Lucumi, Charalampos Lykogiannis, Gary Medel, Lewis Ferguson, Riccardo Orsolini, Nicolas Dominguez, Michel Aebischer, Marko Arnautovic.
Atalanta Preview
The visitors come into this Bologna vs Atalanta match with the obligation to win after four Serie A matches without a victory. In the domestic league, Atalanta is in seventh place in the standings with 28 points from 8 wins, 4 draws and 4 defeats.
Despite this, the team coached by Gian Piero Gasperini had a great start this season, although its performance has declined since the return of the league after the World Cup break. Their last Serie A match was on January 4 against Spezia in which they drew by a score of 2-2, in a hard-fought match where the lack of precision complicated Atalanta.
Possible Atalanta lineup (3-4-1-2): Marco Sportiello, Rafael Toloi, Jose Palomino, Berat Djimsiti; Hans Hateboer, Marten De Roon, Teun Koopmeiners, Davide Zappacosta, Mario Pasalic, Ademola Lookman, Rasmus Hojlund.
JefeBet Prediction
For this great clash between Bologna vs Atalanta, we believe that the win will go for the visitors. Although both teams have lost rhythm after the vacations, Atalanta looks like one of the favorites in this Italian Serie A, at least to fight for the places for European Competitions. Despite the absence of Duván Zapata, Atalanta’s attack is powerful away from home.
Prediction: Atalanta wins 1-0.
