Bologna – Atalanta: a head-to-head for Europe 
One point separates them. Bologna and Atalanta meet at the Dall’Ara in a match already vital for the European race.
The Rossoblù are five games without a win, while La Dea used their weekend victory to get back in the mix.
Bologna: a slowdown that’s hard to shake off 
Bologna had found real rhythm before the break, going nine matches unbeaten.
But since then the momentum has snapped: beaten by Inter on Sunday, Vincenzo Italiano’s men haven’t won in Serie A in five games.
The reverse at San Siro exposed the limits: three goals conceded before Castro’s late consolation, and a side less solid than at the season’s start.
Home form has dipped too. After four wins and a draw in their first five Dall’Ara games, Bologna have taken just one point from the last three.
The only silver lining: La Dea haven’t been a bogey team. That 2-0 loss last April is their only defeat in the last five league meetings.
Atalanta: a revival that’s taking hold 
Atalanta started 2026 with a big win over Roma — their fourth straight against the Giallorossi.
Gasperini’s return to Bergamo grabbed attention, but it was Raffaele Palladino who walked away with the three points.
Scalvini scored the only goal before VAR wiped out a second by Scamacca.
Since Palladino arrived, La Dea have steadied: win rate up from 18% to 57%, a spot in the Coppa Italia quarter-finals, and renewed hope in Serie A.
One downside remains: away form. Just two wins in their first eight road games.
A win at the Dall’Ara would finally kick-start a run away from Bergamo.

Bologna :
Ravaglia ; Zortea, Heggem, Vitik, Miranda ; Moro, Freuler ; Orsolini, Fabbian, Cambiaghi ; Castro

First, a word on our predictions
- What we publish on Mathodds is analysis, nothing more. It’s our take, not a guarantee. Sport is unpredictable. A red card, an injury, a freak goal… and the script flips.
- Let’s be clear: there’s no risk-free bet. Even when something looks “obvious”, it’s not. Yes, you can lose. It’s inevitable sooner or later.
- Best advice: be sensible. Bet small, set a budget and stick to it. Don’t touch money you need to live on. And don’t chase losses — it almost never ends well.
- Betting should stay a pastime, not a job or a source of income. If it’s taking over your life, getting on your nerves or stressing you out, take a break. If needed, talk to a specialist organisation. That’s what they’re for.
- Ultimately, the responsibility is yours. Reading our content means accepting that risk exists and won’t disappear, even with the best analysis.
- Important reminder: betting is forbidden to minors and must comply with your country’s laws. Gambling can spiral (financial loss, family tensions, addiction). Need Help? Call 1-800-GAMBLER. In the UK? Visit https://www.gambleaware.org/https://www.gambleaware.org/.

Information that changes
A tip is always based on what’s known when we write it. But line-ups change, a player gets injured, the weather turns… and the analysis can quickly be outdated. We can’t be held responsible for that.
Your role
Before betting, simply check that gambling is legal where you are. If it’s not, that’s your responsibility, not ours.
