Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Bologna and Atalanta go head to head at Stadio Renato Dall’Ara in what is expected to be one of the most interesting games of Saturday’s program. The Rossoblu saw several first-team regulars leave the club in the summer transfer window and it seems as if new recruits have yet to adapt to the new surroundings. All Tommaso Pobega, Oussama El Azzouzi, and Lewis Ferguson are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Orobici, on the other hand, have yet to find their best form in the new Serie A campaign. As Atalanta are eager to start climbing the standings, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on both teams to score. The likes of Gianluca Scamacca, Giorgio Scalvini, Rafael Toloi, and Benjamin Godfrey are out of contention with injuries for the visiting side.
