Bologna vs Atalanta Prediction & Betting tips
Atalanta Bergamo is still on the verge of establishing itself firmly in top Italian football. Once again, the Nerazzurri survived the preliminary round of the UEFA Champions League unscathed. In Serie A, with recent strong results, the course was also set for a renewed qualification for the premier class. “La Dea” defeated AS Roma on Sunday 4-1.
Now it is to be refilled in Emilia-Romagna. According to the betting base odds comparison in the run-up to the match between Bologna and Atalanta Bergamo, the odds of the bookmakers in the direction of the Lombards beat out.
After all, Atalanta Bergamo is also considered to be extremely strong away from home. Only two of the last 31 away games in Serie A have been lost. One of the two defeats, however, goes to today’s opponent Bologna, when Rossoblu won 2-1 at the Stadio Renato Dall’Ara in December 2019.
A very formidable Atalanta, who only lost one of their last nine competitive games, should be able to take a clear revenge today.
Bologna:
Since the summer of 2015, Bologna FC has been an integral part of Serie A again. While the Rossoblu fought three long long times against relegation, the change of coach to Sinisa Mihajlovic brought success back to Emilia-Romagna.
In the first season, the Serb led the Veltri (in German: the greyhounds) in tenth place in the final table. This summer it was ultimately twelfth place, from which there was a comfortable twelve point lead over a relegation place. Everyone involved is hoping for a similarly quiet season in the secured midfield.
However, Bologna didn’t get off to a particularly good start. Four of the first five league games were all lost, so the view had to be turned downwards first. The Rossoblu then stabilized again in October and November. Now in December, however, there are again four winless games in a row.
The Veltri only scored two out of twelve possible points and also conceded eleven goals in these four league games. The fact that the attacking Lombards are expected in the fifth and final competitive game in December does not make it more likely that the last month of the calendar year will have a triple in store for the men from Emilia-Romagna.
After all, the seven-time Italian champions won three of the six league games at home. However, because it was always all or not at all at the Renato Dall’Ara stadium and none of these games ended in a draw, the other way round, there have already been three defeats. Incidentally, there have not been seven home games in a row for Rossoblu since the 2002/03 season.
Atalanta Bergamo :
Atalanta Bergamo qualified for the UEFA Champions League for the first time the summer before last, and after three defeats at the start, they turned more and more. The Orobici made it into the quarter-finals, and they narrowly failed because of two last-minute goals with 1: 2 at Paris Saint-Germain.
As third in Serie A, in which the Nerazzurri sometimes met at will and sometimes strung together several victories, they again bought the ticket for the premier class. Once again they survived the preliminary round there and can look forward to a duel with record winners Real Madrid in the round of 16.
But before this international delicacy comes in spring 2021, it is important to continue setting the course in league operations so that the Champions League can also be played in Bergamo in the 2021/22 season.
However, the Lombards have already experienced small phases of weakness at national level, for example when the home games against Sampdoria (1: 3) or Hellas Verona (0: 2) were lost. In addition, the degraded and now sorted out captain Papu Gómez caused a scandal when he openly sang the Juve anthem in the away game in Turin. The latest sporting developments are all the more gratifying. Across all competitions “La Dea” has not lost in five competitive games and scored a total of ten goals in this interval.
Most recently, the selection of Gian Piero Gasperini, in which Robin Gosens was finally able to make his comeback at the weekend, beat AS Roma clearly 4: 1 at home. A clear challenge towards the top four. This means that “La Dea” is only three points behind the Champions League starting place, but still has the catch-up game against Udinese Calcio up its sleeve.
