Bitesize Prediction: Atalanta vs Bologna – 03/03/24

Competition: Serie A

Market: Over 1.5 goals

Odds: 4/11 @ BetUS

Two sides who have their sights set on securing a Champions League ticket in 2024, Atalanta will welcome Bologna to Bergamo on Sunday evening.

Starting with the hosts, eventually falling to a nightmare 4-0 drumming against AC Milan earlier in the week, Atalanta will certainly be seeking an immediate response here. Nevertheless, suffering just a single domestic defeat across any competition since way back on December 23rd, La Dea have still received a string of plaudits this season. Opening this weekend’s fixtures leading the chase in the Champions League race, Gian Piero Gasperini’s men have also continued to shine with their rampant performances on home soil this year. Last seen in Bergamo storming their way to a routine 3-0 victory against Sassuolo, Atalanta have won all of their previous eight straight domestic showdowns at the Gewiss Stadium – a run that stems all the way back to a 2-1 defeat against Napoli on November 25th. It should also be highlighted, the top-four contenders have seen nine of their last 10 home fixtures finish with over 1.5 goals.

As for the visitors, putting in another eye-catching performance in midweek as they secured a 2-0 victory at home against Verona, Bologna are enjoying a famous Serie A fairytale this season. With the mood in Thiago Motta’s camp at a red-hot high, the Greyhounds are dreaming of the chance to book a famous Champions League ticket in 2024. With their extended purple patch underlined by a 2-1 win away at Lazio on February 18th, the former Genoa boss has seen his history-making squad win all of their previous five appearances on the bounce. Opening February with an action-packed 4-2 victory against Sassuolo, Bologna have continued to gain a reputation for their clinal performances in the final third. In fact, Sunday’s guests have notched 14 goals on their six-match winning run. In what could prove to be a thrilling affair in Bergamo, we are predicting a lively outcome this weekend.
