Atalanta vs Bologna Prediction & Betting Tips - Serie A

Prediction published on 03/03/2024, 04:00  by Sridhar in Serie A Predictions

A tight top-four battle between Atalanta and Bologna will be played out at the Gewiss Stadium this weekend. This Serie A game on Sunday will see the hosts in fifth place with 46 points before the weekend games and the visitors in fourth place with 48 points. Atalanta would be keen for an immediate rebound, having lost 4-0 to Inter Milan in the last round. That was preceded by a 1-1 draw at the same venue against AC Milan, which meant Atalanta’s top-four charge was halted. Nevertheless, one defeat doesn’t take the wind off their sails, as the hosts are still firmly in the race to finish in the top four spots. Especially at home, they are a strong opponent, having won their last eight competitive matches at this venue. That included seven straight victories in the league, four of which have come with a clean sheet.

Bologna would look to get some buffer against Atalanta in the top-four race, and a win here would help them move away from La Dea. Bologna won the reverse fixture 1-0 and also won this fixture last season 2-0, which gives them a chance to post three straight wins in the top flight against Atalanta for the first time since 1963. They are coming off a 2-0 win over Verona, which was their fifth straight league win and gives them the right frame of mind to go for a win here. Despite such impressive numbers and form, Bologna hasn’t quite excelled on the road. They have lost three of their last five away games in all competitions, winning only once.
