Atalanta - Bologna predictions

The online bookies marked Atalanta as the favourites, which makes a lot of sense. Still, we wouldn’t put Bologna winning beyond them – not to mention that draws are a strong possibility in relatively balanced games.

It’s highly unlikely that Bologna will manage to get some points this round. Atalanta are at a considerable advantage, so even a draw would be a success for the visitors.

Atalanta’s painful defeat in their previous away match could have been seen from a mile away. They were facing Inter as visitors, so betting predictions never gave them much of a shot. The home team took an early lead which culminated in a 4:0 loss for Atalanta.

Bologna gave the fans at their home stadium quite a show in their previous game against Hellas Verona, snagging a decisive 2:0 victory. The victory itself was somewhat predictable, but the first-half lead and notable lead speaks volumes about their form.

Atalanta’s recent Serie A away games were marked by a lot of concessions – 6 over the last 3 matches, to be exact. Therefore, betting on goals might be a fairly reasonable option here.

This match might present a rare opportunity to go for an Over 4.5 Goals bet. Bologna have netted 6 goals in each of their previous 3 games – which is quite a track record.

Though many would be happy with being 5th on the table, there’s still some time left before the end of the season for Atalanta to aim higher. They’ll need 2 points to do so, and they should be able to wrestle away 3 more this Sunday.

Bologna may be the clear underdogs in this game, but that doesn’t mean they haven’t consistently displayed strong form in the previous 27 games of the campaign. They’re just 21 point below the top of the standings. That said, the end of the season is already in sight.

Though a home win is priced at 1.97, the hosts lost their most recent game against Bologna. The two teams played earlier in the season, though Atalanta were the visitors and the goal difference was quite narrow.

This Sunday, both teams will be at full strength and able to give it their all.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 2.04 if you use the Pncl sportsbook.
