H2H Stats Matches and Previous Teams Results
Atalanta Team Overview
🔵 Atalanta endured a dreadful start to the new season, prompting a shake-up in the coaching staff. The arrival of Raffaele Palladino as head coach has seen the Bergamo side improve their form, though a push for the top spots ultimately fell short. After 36 rounds, Atalanta sit seventh in the table with 58 points, and their main objective now is to hold onto this position to secure a place in the Europa Conference League qualifiers. Climbing any higher is no longer possible for Atalanta.
⚫ Atalanta head into this fixture in high spirits. In their previous outing, they claimed a 3-2 away victory over Milan, snapping a five-match winless streak. In fact, the “Queen of the Provincials” could have completely dismantled their opponent: by the 88th minute, Atalanta were up 3-0 but allowed two late goals. Nevertheless, they secured all three points, which is what matters most at this stage.

Bologna Team Overview
🔴 Unlike Atalanta, Bologna have kept their coaching staff intact this season. However, this campaign has been one of their weakest in recent years. The Rossoblù sit eighth in the league table with 52 points. To salvage their season, they need to overturn a six-point deficit to Atalanta in just two matches-a daunting challenge by any measure.
🔵 As for recent form, Bologna pulled off a surprise in the previous round, beating Napoli away from home (3-2). They started brightly, racing to a 2-0 lead by the 34th minute, but quickly allowed their opponents to draw level. Still, the Rossoblù kept their composure and netted a late winner to secure all three points. This victory also snapped a four-match winless streak, providing a much-needed boost in confidence heading into the season’s finale.

Latest news
Atalanta
🚫 Giorgio Scalvini is a doubt for the hosts. Isak Hien will miss out due to suspension, while Lorenzo Bernasconi is sidelined through injury.
📌 Hien has been out recently with an injury, so his absence shouldn’t have much impact on the team’s performance. However, Atalanta might feel the loss of Scalvini and Bernasconi-both players could have significantly strengthened the squad.
Bologna
🚫 The visitors are also dealing with some minor squad issues: John Lucumí is suspended and will miss the match, while Martin Vitík, Nicolò Casale, and Nicolò Cambiaghi are sidelined through injury. Casale, in particular, is ruled out for the rest of the season.
📌 Lucumí is a first-choice centre-back, so his absence is a significant blow. The other players haven’t been as integral to the starting lineup.
⚽ Goals Prediction
Despite Bologna’s inconsistency, the team rarely leaves the pitch without finding the net-even away from home. The Rossoblù have scored in 20 of their last 22 away fixtures. Backing Bologna to score comes in at odds of 1.50*.
🚩 Corners Prediction
When Atalanta host Bologna, they often dictate play and push forward aggressively. Thanks to their attacking approach, La Dea have won over 4.5 corners in 7 of their last 8 Serie A home meetings against the Rossoblù. You can back Atalanta to win more than 4.5 corners at odds of 1.49*.
*Odds are approximate and may vary across different bookmakers.
Editor’s Prediction
According to the bookmakers, Atalanta are clear favourites heading into this clash. Still, betting on the outcome here is risky, as both sides are far from their best at the moment. Atalanta and Bologna have struggled with consistency all season-both are capable of pulling off surprise results, but just as likely to slip up against weaker opposition. Defensive frailties remain an issue for both teams, so the most sensible option is to back both teams to score (yes). A 2-1 scoreline looks very possible.
