Bologna, Recent FormThe Bologna squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 1-0 away defeat against Roma, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. Their share of possession in that meeting was 62%, while racking up 10 shots along the way, 1 of which were on target, in contrast to Roma, who had 14 shots on goal with 4 on target.
Manager Thiago Motta will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 10 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 9 goals conceded in the same period. With goals notched up in 5 of their past 6 matches, they are certainly showing some goal-scoring consistency of late. Their defensive record does not make good reading so far this season as they have conceded at least 1 goal in 14 of their 16 league games.
They have had a strong run of form at Stadio Renato Dall'Ara recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 home games and picking up 4 wins along the way.
On an individual basis, Marko Arnautović will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 8 goals in Bologna's 16 league games this season.
Atalanta, Recent FormAtalanta manager Gian Piero Gasperini will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 2-2 draw in his team's last league outing against Spezia. In that game they had 65% possession and managed 19 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Spezia who had 7 attempts and 3 on target.
Gasperini will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, with them having managed to score 8 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 11 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. Their run of scoring away from home now extends to 8 games. They have not been performing well at all defensively, not delivering a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches.
With 4 defeats and just 1 victory in their last 6 league matches, they have had a poor run and will need to turn that around if they want to start climbing the table. They've had a reasonably strong start to the season away from home being unbeaten in 7 of their 8 league games on the road.
On an individual basis, Ademola Lookman will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Atalanta's last 6 league games.
It was not a positive ending for Bologna last time they met Atalanta in the league, with the game ending in a 0-1 defeat.
With at least 1 goal in each of their last 6 away matches against Bologna in the league, La Dea have built a decent scoring record that they will be keen to extend. In their past 5 meetings, Atalanta's defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so Rossoblu will have to take their chances when they come. Atalanta have managed to keep a clean sheet against Bologna in 4 of their previous 5 meetings.
Bologna has had a poor run of results against Atalanta having not won any of their last 5 meetings.
Atalanta player Luis Muriel will be feeling confident about recording goals against Bologna ahead of this encounter, with a scoring record of 4 goals from their last 5 meetings.
Bologna manager Thiago Motta has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Musa Barrow (Hip), Kevin Bonifazi (Tendon), Lorenzo De Silvestri (Physical discomfort) and Joshua Zirkzee (Muscle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the Atalanta manager Gian Piero Gasperini ahead of this clash, with Juan Musso (Ankle) missing out, which gives Gasperini a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
