Bologna, Recent FormBologna will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 2-0 home win against Roma. In that game they had 56% possession and managed 8 attempts on goal, with 2 on target, compared to Roma who had 8 attempts and 3 on target.
Manager Thiago Motta will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 9 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 4 goals conceded in the same period. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 10 games in a row, and they've kept a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 home games.
They've had a good run of home form recently, with 5 straight wins in a row and are on an unbeaten run of 7 games.
On an individual basis, Joshua Zirkzee will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 4 goals in Bologna's last 6 league games.
Atalanta, Recent FormIn their last match Atalanta enforced their superiority over Salernitana with a 4-1 home win. Their share of possession in that meeting was 52%, while racking up 20 shots along the way, 11 of which were on target. Salernitana had 10 shots on goal with 3 on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 10 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 11 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, and overall this season they have recorded 7 clean sheets in 16 games.
Their current form can't be viewed positively, having clocked up 3 losses from their last 6 games and only 2 wins to speak of.
Teun Koopmeiners will be hoping to create problems for Bologna in this one, having scored 3 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Atalanta.
In the previous league meeting between these two sides, it was Bologna that came out on top with a 0-2 win.
In the past 7 away matches at Bologna in the league, La Dea have consistently found the net, scoring at least 1 goal in each of those encounters.
In the last 2 league meetings between the teams at Stadio Renato Dall'Ara, Atalanta has taken all 3 points and has not lost away to Bologna in 3 games.
