Preview

Match preview

Atalanta welcome Bologna to the Gewiss Stadium for their second match of the Serie A campaign following an opening-day 2-1 victory over Sassuolo. The hosts displayed solid attacking intent in their curtain-raiser, with forward N. Krstovic getting on the scoresheet to secure all three points.

Bologna head into this away fixture looking to bounce back from a narrow 1-0 home defeat to Lazio. That loss extended a difficult run that has seen Bologna drop three consecutive fixtures across all competitions without scoring in their last two outings.

Historical clashes between these two sides have consistently produced tight, low-scoring encounters. Across their past ten head-to-head meetings, eight games featured under 2.5 goals, with an average of just 1.8 goals scored per match.

75%

Confidence

Atalanta enter this clash in positive form after securing a 2-1 home win against Sassuolo in their season opener. In contrast, Bologna are on a three-match losing streak across all fixtures and failed to score in their 1-0 opening defeat against Lazio. While Bologna have won five of the last ten meetings between the teams, Atalanta have demonstrated stronger early-season rhythm. Given that 80 percent of the past ten head-to-head fixtures stayed below 2.5 goals and both teams scored in only 30 percent of those games, a closely contested matchup favoring the home side to earn at least a point represents the most probable scenario.
