The interesting race for Champions League qualification continues in Serie A this weekend, as two of the direct rivals collide. Atalanta will have home field advantage for this showdown with Bologna, with the hosts knowing that maximum points would see them end the round in fourth.
It has been an exciting campaign in Serie A this term, and the battle for a Champions League position looks set to be one of the most important narratives to follow between now and the end of the season. Atalanta hold the home advantage this weekend for this fixture, and they will be aware that maximum points will see them end the round in fourth.
The Italian side have been in very consistent form since returning to action following the international break after winning four of their last five matches. Their winning sequence was ended following a draw at the San Siro against AC Milan last weekend, but they could respond to that minor setback in midweek with a win over Inter Milan away from home in their game in hand.
Bologna have sent shockwaves across Italy this term with their high quality performances, and they are threatening to break into the Champions League positions at this stage. The Italian side are in excellent recent form after picking up wins in each of their last five matches in the competition.
They rank among the best defensive teams in the league this term, with only Inter and Juventus boasting better defensive records. However, if they are to finish in the top four, then they will likely need to be more productive in the final third after netting just 39 goals in their 26 matches this season.
Bologna landed a win against Atalanta in the reverse fixture this term, with their 1-0 home win being their second straight success against their rivals. That is an excellent return to form in this fixture after going six without a victory against Atalanta.
This should be one of the most exciting fixtures in Serie A this weekend, with both sides coming into the weekend in excellent recent form. Bologna will be hard to oppose based on their recent form, but Atalanta don’t lose many fixtures. Therefore, an interesting betting selection could be the draw.
