Our prediction for the match Atalanta vs Bologna
Last season, these two clubs were racing for 4th place in the Serie A. Finally, “the Bergamascs” won, having taken only 1 point more (69 against 68). They also reached the final of the previous Coppa Italia, where, however, they lost. Still, the footballers more than compensated for the failure by winning the Europa League. However, “the Rossoblù” were not upset either. It is reasonable to mention that 5th position was a huge and unexpected breakthrough. Moreover, the club was rewarded for that the right to debut in the Champions League.
However, the newcomer, already under the leadership of Italiano as coach, was disappointing. The team got only a couple of goalless draws in 2024, and a strong-willed victory was taken over Borussia Dortmund in January. Last week, it finally got a draw in Lisbon with Sporting. “The Goddess”, due to the experience, was more successful there and made it to the play-offs ahead of schedule. And finally, the club drew in Barcelona – 2-2. Speaking about the Serie A, Gasperini’s wards, having got a difficult start, managed to break into the leaders. Still, there was a decline in the middle of winter. And they did not win the game against Torino. “The Red and Blues” expectedly lost ground a little, and at first they mostly played a draw. One way or another, the team has a chance to get a ticket to the European competition. A 2-0 result in the struggle with Como allowed it to consolidate the position in 7th place.
The Italiano’s footballers began their cup journey in December. They thrashed Como with a 4-0 score. At the same time, “the Goddess” made fun of Cesena. The opponent was thrashed with Samardzic and De Ketelaere each scoring twice – 6-1.
