NextGOAL tip: Atalanta -0.5 · 1 stars
In the last 6 meetings, 4 matches ended with a margin of just one goal, and Bologna have won at Atalanta's home twice (Feb 25 and May 26). But this time, Atalanta are different, having recently won away at Hapoel Tel Aviv 1-0 in the Europa Conference League on Aug 27 and beaten Sassuolo 2-1 at home in Serie A on Aug 23. Meanwhile, Bologna have lost both matches they've actually played (Lazio in the league on Aug 24 and Brighton in a friendly on Aug 15). The contrasting form, plus Atalanta's home strength in scoring late in games (30% of all goals come in the 76-90 minute period), makes it likely the hosts will edge a win. Despite Bologna's good head-to-head record, the difference in team readiness means the system's angle still favors Atalanta -0.5.
