Atalanta, on the other hand, has shown resilience with victories against Roma and Genoa, although they suffered a narrow defeat to Inter.

Final Prediction

Atalanta's edge in this matchup comes from their recent victories and ability to secure clean sheets, suggesting a more stable defensive setup. One key factor to watch during the game is Atalanta's ability to capitalize on scoring opportunities, which could be the difference-maker against Bologna's struggling attack.
