On Tuesday, starting with 18:30, the Atalanta – Bologna match will be played, within the round with number 35 in Serie A.
Atalanta scored only 5 points in the last 3 rounds of Serie A. The draws with Juventus (2-2) and Verona (1-1) made Gasperini’s team drop to third place, one point behind of the Inter. Certainly, the central goal of the Lombardy band is to get second place at the end of the season. In order for this goal to be fulfilled, Atalanta can no longer afford wrong steps – especially against teams without a goal, such as Bologna. Besides this fact, a solid argument for a potential good game of the hosts is represented by their excellent evolution on their own field, where the team from Bergamo obtained 7 victories in the last 7 matches.
On the other hand, as I pointed out before, Bologna is a team without a goal at the end of this season. It ranks 10th in Serie A, far from both European places and the relegation zone. Without any victory in the last 4 rounds, it is hard to believe that Bologna will force a positive result on the field of Atalanta, a team clearly superior in terms of value.
Taking into account all the aspects mentioned above, we are of the opinion that we will witness a victory without the right of appeal of the hosts. We choose to bet both in this sense and on the number of goals, Atalanta being the most offensive team in Italy, with 94 goals scored in the first 34 stages.
Atalanta, without failure in the last 17 matches;
Bologna received a goal in the previous 7 stages;
Atalanta, no home defeat since January 2020;
Atalanta (3-4-3): Gollini – Toloi, Caldara, Djimsiti – Hateboer, Pasalic, De Roon, Castagne – Malovskiy, Zapata, Gomez;
Bologna (4-2-3-1): Skorupski – Mbaye, Danilor, Denswil, Dijks – Medel, Svanberg – Orsolini, Olsen, Samsone – Santander.
PREDICTION: Over 3,5 goals @ 1,81
