Bologna Team News
Bologna enters this match after losing against Roma at the Olimpico in the last round. An early penalty in the first half, which was successfully realized by Lorenzo Pellegrini, brought the Giallorossi a triumph. At the same time this was the seventh defeat for Thiago Motta’s team.
What could be a serious problem for Bologna ahead of the duel with Atalanta is the injury of their best scorer Marko Arnautović, and his performance on Monday will be questionable. Arnautović has scored 8 goals in the Serie A competition so far, just one less than the league’s top scorer Victor Osimhen from Napoli.
Bologna is currently in 11th place in the table with 19 points won. They have won 4 of the last 6 league matches and in the match against Atalanta in front of their fans, with or without Arnautović, they will be looking for all three points.
Atalanta Team News
On the other hand, the team from Bergamo is going to the second away game in a row after a draw (2-2) with Spezia in the last round.
Atalanta can be satisfied with this one point, considering that they were losing 2-0 after the first 45 minutes, but with the goals scored by Danish striker Rasmus Hojlund in the 77th minute and Croatian player Marijo Pašalić in the 92nd minute of the match, they managed to level the score.
Atalanta had a dream start to the season, at one point they were at the very top of the Italian league. The series of bad results started at the end of October and continued in November, when they tied three consecutive defeats.
Atalanta is currently in 7th position in the table with 28 points. They are 5 points behind the fourth-placed Inter. What worries them is the bad form they have been in for some time, so maybe the match against Bologna is an opportunity to get out of the crisis.
H2H
These two teams have met 121 times in their long history in all competitions. Bologna was better 43 times, while the team from Bergamo has one more victory (44). 34 matches ended in a draw.
But if we look at their matches in recent history, Atalanta is far more successful with 13 wins in the previous 23 meetings. Bologna won 5 matches.
Injuries and suspensions
Bologna: Marko Arnautović and Joshua Zirkzee are injured. Musa Barrow, Kevin Bonifazi and Lorenzo De Silvestri are questionable.
Atalanta: Simone Muratore and Juan Musso are injured. Merih Demiral and Duvan Zapata are questionable.
Bologna vs Atalanta Prediction
Bologna managed to score at least one goal in nine out of ten games as hosts in all competitions. The only time they failed to do so was in the match against Empoli.
On the other hand, this season in Serie A, Atalanta managed to score a goal in each of their previous eight away games.
Three of the last four meetings between these two teams at the Renato Dall’Ara stadium ended with goals on both sides. Our suggestion for this match is both teams to score a goal.
