Atalanta vs Bologna Prediction and Betting Tips | 8th April 2023
Atalanta host Bologna at the Gewiss Stadium in Serie A on Saturday, looking to make it three wins in a row in the league.
After going four games without a top-flight win between February and March, La Dea have won their next two, beating Empoli (2-1) and Cremonese (3-1).
With 48 points from 28 games, Gian Piero Gasperini's side are in sixth place and are in contention to return to Europe after a year's gap.
If the Bergamo outfit are able to continue their winning run, a Champions League qualification could also be sealed as Atalanta are just two points behind the top-four.
Bologna are in eighth with 40 points following what's been an impressive campaign by their mediocre standards.
The Rossoblu are unbeaten in their last three league games too and returned from the break with a convincing 3-0 defeat of Udinese last weekend.
