Atalanta hosts Bologna in round 2 of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Saturday, August 28th at Gewiss Stadium (Bergamo)
Atalanta is a football club that knows how to make money by selling players. At the same time, the team shows spectacular and high-quality football and achieves a positive result. In the previous season, the team from Bergamo reached the Italian Cup final, where it lost to Juventus. Beyond that, the Blue-Blacks took third place in the championship. Thus, they will play in the group stage of the Champions League. As you know, UEFA pays clubs a substantial amount of money for participation. In the summer, Atalanta not only retained the backbone of the team but also got several promising players. Gian Piero Gasperini remained at the helm of Atalanta. As for the start of the 2021/2022 season, it turned out as follows: the Goddess beat Torino in a difficult away match (1-2). The fans saw the decisive goal in the last seconds of the match. It was scored by Roberto Piccoli, who spent the last year on loan at Spezia.

Bologna has been playing in the top division of Italian football for the seventh year. The team can be safely attributed to the ordinary middle peasants. The club has a small budget, does not make high-profile transfers, and cannot boast of a stellar lineup. The Red-Blues finished the previous season in 12th place. In the summer, the roster was slightly renewed. As many as five football players got the free agent status. They were replaced by seven newcomers. Sinisa Mihajlovic continues to work with Bologna. In the new season, the team immediately left the Italian Cup draw, losing 4-5 at home to the representative of Serie B, Ternana. But the Red-Blues managed to earn three points in the Italian championship. The fans saw another goal-scoring match, but this time their favorites gained a strong-willed victory over the newcomer Salernitana, which remained in the minority in the first half. By the way, newcomer Marko Arnautovic scored a goal in both games. It looks like the Austrian will take the place of the main striker, since the 39-year-old veteran Palacio has moved to Brescia.
We expect a goal-scoring confrontation. Both teams have played all matches of the 2021/2022 season with high production. The fans returned to the stands. This gives the players great motivation. Atalanta plays very spectacularly at home and has been the best Serie A team in terms of the number of goals scored for several years. Gasperini has the ability to rotate the squad, as it's not the time for the quality of football. And Mihajlovic has got good players in his ranks.
Prediction for the match: Over 3.0 goals scored
