Atalanta vs Bologna Betting Tips and Predictions

Atalanta’s run of 14 league games without victory has seen Edoardo Reja’s side slip worryingly close to the Serie A relegation zone and unless they find a way to win soon, they could find themselves in the bottom three. Atalanta are really struggling to score goals and have fired a blank in four of their last six matches, although they have recorded creditable draws at home to Inter and Sassuolo in recent weeks. Reja has pledged to coach Atalanta for free if they win on Sunday, but this is a team in such poor form that is extremely hard to back them.

Bologna’s recent results are not that much better than Atalanta, but their defensive resilience is not in doubt. Bologna were the side to bring Juventus’s long winning streak to an end by holding them to a 0-0 draw in the middle of a run of four straight clean sheets. Roberto Donadoni is being linked with a move back to the Italian national role, which could prove a distraction for his players this weekend. Goals are likely to be in short supply at the Stadio Atleti Azzurri d’Italia but under 2.5 goals is really too short to back for this match.

Instead, two out-of-form sides might well cancel each other out in the early game on Sunday and there is plenty of value to be found in the draw at 2/1 with bet365. The 1-1 draw at 9/2 with bet365 also looks like value.
