Atalanta vs Bologna Prediction & Betting Tips (3 March)

Atalanta and Bologna face each other on a new date in the Italian tournament, knowing that there is a lot at stake. In fact, the winner will be in the Champions League qualification zone, in a match that could be fundamental for what is to come. Likewise, Atalanta wants to leave behind the tough defeat against Inter 0-4, seeking to return to its level, winning in 7 of the last 9 games, while Bologna accumulates 5 consecutive victories, after beating Verona 2-0, Lazio 2-1, Fiorentina 2-0, Lecce 4-0 and Sassuolo 4-2, with a high level from several of their players. In any case, despite the football needs of both teams, it is difficult for there to be a winner, considering the parity in the numbers: in fact, both have practically the same points, they have a difference of just 2, in the midst of a very similar situation.

. In addition, of the last 5 matches, there were 2 wins for each and 1 draw.

For this meeting, it is necessary to highlight the packages of the defender who arrived this winter Hien and the replacement Palomino. However, no other absences are to be deplored. Dutch international Koopmeiners (8 goals and 3 assists in SA) plays a major role for the Dea. This is also the case for Belgian striker De Ketelaere (6 goals and 6 assists in SA) who has been particularly highlighted in recent weeks. After returning from the African Cup of Nations, the usual starter Lookman (7 goals and 3 assists in SA) started on the bench during the last 2 days. This time he could return to the starting 11. This week, Atalanta sank against Inter with 4 goals conceded.

Bologna has been spared by absences lately and this is confirmed this weekend. Indeed, only long-time absent defender Soumaoro (ex-Lille) is missing, injured. Solid at the back, the Rossoblu now have the 3rd defense in the championship. In the offensive field, the influential Orsolini (9 goals and 2 assists in SA) and Zirkzee (9 goals and 3 assists in SA) take their place. Last weekend, midfielders Freuler and Fabbian scored to beat Hellas Verona. Behind, the Dutchman Beukema acts as captain.
