Bologna – Atalanta

Bologna host Atalanta in what promises to be a crucial clash for both sides as the season nears its halfway point. The hosts sit 16th with a solitary point from four games, having failed to find the net more than twice while conceding five, whereas Atalanta sit comfortably in 11th place on six points, their two wins balanced by an even goal tally of five each. Bologna will be desperate to snap a three‑match losing streak and claim their first victory, while Atalanta will look to extend their unbeaten run and pull themselves into the top ten. The two clubs have met only sparingly in recent years, with Atalanta generally holding the upper hand, a trend that could prove decisive on the Dall’Ara turf. A win for Bologna could lift them out of the relegation zone, but Atalanta’s recent form suggests they are the favorites to walk away with all three points.
