Atalanta take on the visitors Bologna at “Stadio Atleti Azzurri d'Italia” in the gameweek nine of the Italian Serie A. The match will be played in Bergamo on Sunday, October 22nd.
By having beaten Cyprus’ Apollon with 3:1 scoreline this Thursday in the UEFA Europa League, Atalanta broke their four-clash no-win series. The team lost 1:3 to Sampdoria in the recent fight within the Serie A, having got three draws before that. With eight rounds behind, Atalanta are sitting on the 12th position in the elite division standings with nine points gained and 13-13 goal difference. Gian Piero Gasperini’s side took seven points with nine goals for and five goals against in four encounters conducted at the home pitch. Atalanta’s undefeated home streak counts for five matches in all the tournaments covering four triumphs and single draw.

Bologna come up to the next battle with four-game unbeaten run, having won last three clashes: 1:0 vs. Sassuolo, 1:0 vs. Genoa and 2:1 vs. Spal. After eight encounters played, Bologna have 14 points earned with 8-8 goal difference. Roberto Donadoni’s side picked up nine points with four goals for and two goals against on the road.
Both rivals come to the fight in a good competitive form. Atalanta won three recent head-to-heads against Bologna with 2:0, 2:0 and 3:2 scorelines. However, this season the visiting team demonstrates much stronger performance than it used to play in last three or four seasons which means the hosts must not hope for an easy run. I believe that the opponents will not combine a number of goals in the upcoming clash.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 scored goals.
