Atalanta vs Bologna Preview and Team News

Atalanta Team News

Atalanta’s relentless march to a top-four finish has faltered in recent games. They have lost their last three consecutive matches in Serie A. This means the chasing pack have closed in. 4th-placed Bologna are within a point, and 5th-placed Juventus are just two points behind.

The losses against Inter Milan (0-2), Fiorentina (1-0) and Lazio (0-1), while not fatal, have been damaging. Gaffer Gian Piero Gasperini will want his side to bounce back to winning ways on Sunday and establish their position inside the top four as the Serie A run-in heats up.

Piero Gasperini is also dealing with an increasingly disruptive injury list, currently standing at six players. Sidelined players include Odilon Kossounou (adductor), Giorgio Scalvini (shoulder), and Rafael Toloi (pubalgia). Gianluca Scamacca, Stefan Posch, and Marco Palestra all have hamstring issues.

Atalanta are in good overall form. They have what it takes to snap out of the bad patch and return to their former strength. 

Atalanta Predicted Lineup vs Bologna

Bologna Team News

Bologna are in a brilliant run of form as they press home their edge in a bid to secure Champions League qualification for next season. Vincenzo Italiano’s side were on a six-match winning streak in all competitions before they faltered and drew 1-1 against 2nd-placed Napoli last weekend. 

The game has significant implications for both teams, with a win for the visitors seeing them replace Atalanta in 3rd on the Serie A log. So far, Bologna have 15 victories, 12 draws, and 4 losses in 28 rounds. They’ve netted 51 times so far this season, making them the fourth-highest scorers in Serie A behind Inter Milan (69), Atalanta (63), and Lazio (52).

Italiano has been spared significant injury issues. Ahead of this Sunday, right-back Davide Calabria is sidelined with an ankle sprain that has seen him miss four matches so far. Goalkeeper Łukasz Skorupski has a leg injury that will keep him out of action for three weeks. 

Given how Bologna have married a solid defensive display with a potent attack, my prediction indicates a tightly-contested match, with emphasis on attacking football. The team with a clinical offence will likely clinch the three points.

Atalanta vs Bologna Prediction 

• Pick: Atalanta to Win 
• Odds: 1,82 (22Bet)
• Score prediction: Atalanta 3-2 Bologna

Given the recent track record of these two sides, my predictions back a high-score meeting with the home squad edging it narrowly. 

Atalanta are a dynamic attacking team that have plundered 63 goals in 28 outings so far. Led by Lookman, they’ve proven they have the dynamism, movement in the final third, and creativity in midfield to open defenses of any opponents.

Bologna have also shown a combination of solidity and attacking potency that has propelled them into the top four. It powered their run of five consecutive wins in Serie A before they drew against Napoli.

Given these dynamics, this encounter will be closely contested, with both sides getting on the scoresheet. However, Atalanta have what it takes to end Bologna’s unbeaten run and earn some breathing space as they compete for 3rd in Serie A. 

Atalanta vs Bologna Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: Atalanta To Score Next Goal 2
• Odds: 2 (22Bet)

Atalanta will make a flying start this weekend. My analysis says they’ll look to dictate possession in midfield, set the tempo, and force the visitors back into their half.

Although this will expose them to transition attacks, they’ll press as a block with a high line to eliminate all spaces and half spaces, and pin the visitors back.

This approach will increase their chances of scoring and getting the second goal.
