  • Atalanta have the fewest dropped points from leading position (6) in Serie A

Atalanta could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Europa League game only three sleeps ago. That game, against Bayer Leverkusen, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Atalanta.

Bologna form and stats

The story so far in the Serie A for Bologna at their home stadium (Stadio Renato Dall'Ara) is 6 wins, 3 draws and 5 defeats.

Stress levels are on the rise for Bologna's attacking players as they have now played 227 minutes without scoring in a league game. Arnautovic was their last goal scorer.

Bologna lost their last game at Fiorentina (placed 8th) after a 0-1 scoreline.

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 0-0 versus Torino.

Bologna are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 18 goals in 14 games. Bologna have conceded 17 in these home matches.

Atalanta form and stats

Atalanta's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Atalanta collect 30 points from their 14 away matches in the Serie A. 9 victories and 3 draws have created these points (and only 2 defeats). Atalanta seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

Atalanta are looking to quickly end their 184 minutes long goal drought in the Serie A.

Two trips in a row for Atalanta, whose manager Gasperini could celebrate last time after the Europa League win against Bayer Leverkusen. Demiral was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 8.13. The defender Demiral hit two key passes and won 8 of 13 duels.

A draw for Atalanta before that, at their own venue hosting Genoa (0-0).

The travelling fans enjoy Atalanta's attacking play in away games, having scored 26 goals in 14 league matches away. It's not easy to score on Atalanta as they have only conceded 13 goals from these away games.

Head 2 Head

The previous head-to-head match ended Atalanta - Bologna 0-0, earlier this season. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: one - two - seven (Bologna wins - draws - Atalanta wins). As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four had two or less.
