Atalanta – Bologna Serie A: 22nd April 2017

The crowning of a magnificent season

Atalanta ranks 5th in the Serie A, with 60 points gathered in 32 stages. Thus, the students of Gian Piero Gasperini continue his sensational journey this season, the most relevant proof coming from the previous stage, when, on the “Stadio Olimpico”, in front of a team of Rome desperate to get all three points, La Dea “has pulled a draw (1-1). Moreover, Atalanta is on top of both teams in Milan for the moment, but the success in front of Bologna, on Saturday evening in Bergamo, is really necessary, considering the match in the next round in front of Juventus.

Bologna ranks 15th in the Serie A hierarchy with 35 points scored after 32 rounds. So, Roberto Donadoni’s guys have almost mathematically assured their maintenance on Italy’s first football scene. Basically, this is due to the decent results obtained by the rossoblu tournament, because during the second half of the season, Bologna has brought a lot of negative results, but it did not diminish its chances of avoiding relegation. Consequently, you are left without a goal at this season’s end, the guests have little chance of getting in the way of a team of Atalanta motivated to reach their goal.

Probable teams:

Atalanta (3-4-1-2): Berisha- Toloi, Caldara, Masiello- Conti, Kessie, Freuler, Kurtic- Grassi- Petagna, Gomez

Bologna (4-3-3): Mirante- Torosidis, Maietta, Gastaldello, Masina- Taider, Viviani, Dzemaili- Verdi, Destro, Di Francesco
