Command Analysis

Atalanta

Current form
Atalanta approached the start of the season in the status of a clear contender for a place in the top four – the status of the winner of the Europa League obliged them to set ambitious goals. In the summer, the Bergamasques had to rebuild the squad after the departure of several important players, but there were also plenty of incoming transfers and almost all of them turned out to be more than successful.
Atalanta made a few mistakes in the first round, but overall they looked very powerful and even spent some time at the top of the table, but they failed to break away. In many ways, the struggle on two fronts did not allow them to gain a foothold at the top – the goddess drew 2-2 with Barcelona in the last round of the Champions League, but could not stay in the top eight and will play with Brugge in the playoffs very soon.
In Serie A, Atalanta still occupies the third place in the table with 47 points in the asset and is seven points behind the leader Napoli, with Inter ahead by four points - there are frankly few chances to compete for the title. In the last round, Bogin lost points at home in a duel against Torino, drawing 1-1 and not realizing a penalty at the end – a clear loss of two points.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kossunu, Lukman and Scalvini are injured.
Interesting betting trends
- Atalanta has not lost in the last four matches, with two wins and two draws.
- Atalanta have conceded in five of their last six matches.
- Atalanta has lost against Bologna in the last five matches
The approximate line–up: Patricio – Jimcity, Hin, Toloy – Bellanova, De Ron, Ederson, Ruggeri – Samardzic - de Ketelare, Retegi.

Bologna

Current form
After an outstanding success in the summer, Bologna sold off almost all key players, but at the same time it was very active in the transfer market and found a full-fledged replacement for many of them. His mentor was also replaced – Thiago Motta was promoted, and Vincenzo Italiano was appointed in his place, who managed to reach the Conference League finals with Fiorentina twice in a row.
In the first round, it was quite expected that Bologna failed to prove itself to its full potential – a large number of newcomers did not allow us to count on instant results. However, after a series of setbacks, the Rossoblu got in shape and began to move rapidly up the standings, managing to join the fight for a place in the Champions League during the first round.
At the moment, Bologna is on the seventh line in the table with 37 points in the asset, lagging behind the fourth Juventus by only three points, but with another match in reserve, such a handicap allows you to count on success. In the last round, Bologna beat Como 2-0 at home, thus securing their ninth win of the season and extending their unbeaten streak to seven matches.
Disqualifications and injuries
Orsolini and Ferguson are injured.
Interesting betting trends
- In the last seven matches, Bologna has not lost – three wins and four draws.
- In the last 10 matches, Bologna has scored
- In the last three away matches, Bologna conceded
Approximate composition: Skorupski – Holm, Bekema, Lukumi, Likoyannis – Froiler, Moro – Ayling, Odgor, Ndoye – Castro.

2.05Tip and bets
Atalanta plays three matches a week and at such a crazy pace it is extremely problematic to give the maximum in each match. Bologna will certainly try to take advantage of their chance today and play aggressively in attack – Rossoblu scored in each of the last 10 matches, they did not leave Atalanta dry in the last five meetings, the guests will surely play their own goal. At the same time, the goddess will certainly strive only for victory at home, there are very high-level players ahead, and an exchange of goals is almost inevitable.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. The forecast is that both will score. This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.75
Betting on the outcome
Atalanta is on an extremely intensive schedule, but at the same time it has a sufficiently high-quality and wide reserve in order to rotate without much loss in quality. It is obvious that the "goddess" is hungry for trophies and winning the Cup is clearly part of her plans – today the bet will be placed only on victory. Bologna is in good shape, but Rossoblu has plenty of weaknesses, it will be very difficult to count on success in Bergamo against Atalanta, the goddess has a significant advantage in the class, and the hosts are quite capable of winning.
The bet is Atalanta's victory. This bet is offered for 1.79
Combined bid
Atalanta has to play several matches a week, but at the same time, Bogina should have enough reserve strength and depth to qualify for the semifinals. The Bergamasques are traditionally very strong on their own field, they are significantly superior in the opponent's class, and they are quite capable of winning. At the same time, it will be problematic to beat Bologna dry, Rossoblu are in good shape and have no problems with implementation, and Atalanta has missed the opponent in the last five matches.
The bet is Atalanta's victory and both will score. This bet is offered for 3.50
