Atalanta will be chasing successive wins in Serie A when they host Bologna at Gewiss Stadium on August 31.

Atalanta Building on Defensive Strength

Maurizio Sarri’s Atalanta will be aiming to build on a reliable start to the season, which has seen them win three of their previous four. Defensive strength has been a key trend to this point, keeping clean sheets in four of their last five.

Giacomo Raspadori has made a reliable start to the season, scoring once in his three appearances. Ivorian Franck Kessié could be in contention to start for the first time after completing his move to the club last week.

Thomas Kristensen, Isak Hien, and Kamaldeen Sulemana are all unavailable due to injury.

Atalanta predicted lineup vs Bologna (4-3-3): Carnesecchi; Zappacosta, Kossounou, Scalvini, Bernasconi; Pasalic, Gaetano, Ederson; Zalewski, Scamacca, Raspadori

Bologna Stuck in Losing Run

Domenico Tedesco will be hopeful of a response from his Bologna team on Monday following a run of three straight defeats in all competitions.

Il Rossoblù failed to score in their previous two outings. Roberto Piccoli will lead the line after completing his move from Fiorentina, and the striker has scored twice in his previous four appearances.

Jonathan Rowe will be handed a start after registering two goal involvements in five matches. Oussama El Azzouzi is the only player missing due to injury on Monday.

Bologna predicted lineup vs Atalanta (4-3-3): Skorupski; Zortea, Helland, Heggem, Miranda; Odgaard, Ferguson, Pobega; Rowe, Piccoli, Cambiaghi
