Anytime Correct Score 0-1
Atalanta scored first in 12 of their 16 games of which six were when playing on the road. Bologna conceded first in three of their last five Serie A games.
Bologna
Bologna fought hard to avoid defeat against Roma but they suffered their seventh loss of the season at the Olimpico by a single goal. Still, the Rossoblu controlled the game with 62% ball possession but all of their eight goal attempts didn’t reach their target.
Bologna showed great progress in the last eight rounds in terms of points picked up and goals scored. To illustrate, the Gialloblu increased their points intake by 28% and scored 22% more goals. However, their defense let in 12% more goals which must be improved in the coming games.
Atalanta
Atalanta escaped a fourth consecutive defeat after drawing 2-2 away with Spezia.La Dea are winless in four games, losing three and drawing one. Gasperini’s side found themselves down by two goals inside the first half an hour in la Spezia and it was an uphill battle for the next 60 minutes.
Nevertheless, La Dea completely dominated the game with 65% of ball possession and 19 goal attempts. However, Gasperini still couldn’t find a solution to his team’s defensive mistakes as they let in 65% more goals in the last eight games than they did during the course of the season.
Bologna showed that they are a very tough team despite losing to Roma. Atalanta on the other hand were not convincing in their last game and had to fight for a draw. Hence, we prefer to back a double chance of a draw or away win.
The average number of total corners awarded in Bologna games is 9.33 corners per game while Atalanta’s is 8.47. The last three meetings between Bologna and Atalanta produced under 11 corners. With odds of 1.44 at 1XBet, we predict this match to produce over 11 corners.
Ademola Lookman appeared in 15 games for Atalanta in Serie A and is their top scorer with seven goals. Lookman can play as a striker and a right winger where he has a rating of 7.55. The Nigerian’s strong aspects are his finishing and dribbling.
