Bologna vs Atalanta Prediction and Betting Tips (09.01.2023)

Command Analysis

Bologna

Italy

Bologna had a poor start to the season and even changed the manager after several matches. Thiago Mottawas under a lot of pressure at first, but he managed to make steady progress. Now the Rossoblu are in 11th place in the Serie A table with 19 points to their name. They are 10 points clear of the relegation zone and can feel quite safe now.

However, Bologna can't count on anything better than the middle of the table. They are 11 points behind the top-6, and their competitors in the top half of the table are Torino, Fiorentina, and Udinese. In the last game, Bologna lost to Roma (0:1) - that was their seventh defeat in this season.

Atalanta

Italy

Atalanta started the season very confidently, but they didn't have enough firepower to carry on for long. Gian Piero Gasperini's tactic for this campaign are much more pragmatic, the team no longer demonstrates the same exciting brand of football that we got used to seeing from them in recent years.

Currently, Atalanta are in 7th place in the table with 28 points. They still have a chance to snatch a ticket to the Champions League, but it is getting harder with every round of match. In the last outing, Atalanta were held to a draw (2:2) by Spezia and extended their winless streak to four games.

Tip and bets

1.77Both to score

Bologna are more powerful at home than on road trips, and they got four of their five victories at the Renato Dall'Ara Stadium. Currently, the Rossoblu are comfortable, so we expect them to play a more open, brave type of football. Atalanta concede a lot - in the last four games they allowed nine goals. Probably they won't keep a clean sheet, but we expect them to answer with quality actions on offense.

Our prediction – both to score

3.7Atalanta to win by 1 goal

Atalanta haven't won in four straight games and have dropped out of the title race. Bologna are a tough opponent, especially at home, and the visitors won't get an easy victory here. Neverthless, we believe they can get a narrow win.
