Atalanta vs Bologna Prediction 03.03.2024

• Competition: Serie A
• Date: 03.03.2024
• Kickoff: 17:00 UK / 18:00 CET
• Venue: Gewiss Stadium (Bergamo)

Besides the Napoli-Juventus game, this is another derby round that could be even more intriguing considering the outcomes and positions of both teams. Atalanta will be welcoming Bologna in Bergamo.

Atalanta’s poor performance in the last two rounds resulted in it losing 4th place, a crucial position for Champions League qualification. While the draw against Milan was acceptable, the 4-0 loss to Inter was a severe blow. Now, the Bergamo-based club must give its full effort until the season’s end to overcome its rival, who is currently better positioned for the 4th spot.

Bologna is experiencing one of the finest seasons in the club’s history, possibly the best of the 21st century. This club has seldom managed to even get into the top half of the table, not to mention the top spots. Their recent accomplishment, having won the last 5 matches, has led to this outstanding result. However, the most challenging part still lies ahead: maintaining their current ranking.

Atalanta vs Bologna pick: UNDER 2.5 GOALS

This season, Bologna is particularly notable for its robust defense, ranking 3rd in the league for the least goals conceded &— a mere 23 out of 26 matches played. There is a slight dip in their performance in away games, yet Bologna remains a team proficient in defense and demonstrates great organization even when not playing on their home turf.

Bologna has managed to keep a clean sheet in their last two encounters in Bergamo, securing a victory and a draw. It’s likely that we’ll see a challenging battle in midfield, potentially leading to a less than thrilling display with limited scoring opportunities. Betting on under 2.5 goals could be a wise move.
