Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Atalanta
Match Time & Date:
28/08/2021
18:30
Prediction: 3-2
Bologna
Atalanta will be aiming to build on a 2-1 win over Torino when they take on Bologna at Gewiss Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The Orobici want to continue where they left last season, and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the Rossoblu. Both Freuler and Toloi return from suspensions, while Zapata and Hateboer remain on the sidelines with injuries. Marten De Roon is banned for the match.
Bologna, on the other hand, came from behind to beat newcomers Salernitana 3-2 at home ground, with summer signing Marko Arnautovic opening his goal-scoring account. The Rossoblu, though, are not regarded as good travelers, and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Atalanta’s party in Bergamo. Soriano is suspended for the match, while both Dijks and Santander are likely to miss the game with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Duvan Zapata):
Duvan Zapata was born in Cali, Colombia on 1 April, 1991. The 186-cm-tall attacker started his youth career at America de Cali, playing for the club between 2004 and 2008. In 2008 he made his debut for the first team and three years later he scored his first hat-trick for the Colombian outfit, in a 3-2 win over Deportivo Pereira.
In 2011 he signed a loan deal with Estudiantes and he found the net for the Argentine team on his debut against Belgrano. After scoring 11 goals in 37 appearances for Estudiantes, the Colombian striker joined Napoli in 2013, but he failed to establish himself as a first-choice attacker.
On 22 July, 2015 Zapata joined fellow Serie A team Udinese on loan and it has to be noted that he scored eight goals in 24 league appearances for the Zebrette. Duvan Zapata has 5 caps for Colombia U20 team, but he has yet to make his debut for the senior side.
