Wednesday's match was another step for Bologna to put them among the leaders of Italian football. The Red-Blues faced Inter and took the game to extra time, where they were the stronger side, advancing to the quarter-finals of the domestic cup. Bologna were the first to concede in overtime but managed to score twice. 2:1 - The team will face Fiorentina in the round of 8 of the tournament.
In the previous round of the championship, Bologna also outplayed a top rival, on their field breaking the resistance of Roma - 2:0. The team was ahead of the Romans in the standings and moved up to the fourth line - the Champions League competition.
Atalanta
The team prepared for the upcoming game in Bologna in a week-long cycle, but before the championship's last match, they played a Europa League meeting. In the final round of the group stage, Atalanta beat Poland's Raków 4:0 away. Having taken first place in the quartet, the Bergamaschi will skip the first round of the playoffs and start the road to the European Cup title right from the round of 16.
The international match did not affect the home meeting with Salernitana in the last round of Serie A. Although Atalanta were trailing 0:1 after the first half, they destroyed the outsider in the second half, sending four unanswered goals into their gates. 4:1 - Muriel, Pasalic, De Ketelare and Alexei Miranchuk scored. Atalanta is seventh in the standings but just two points behind the top four.
Expert Betting Tips
Atalanta is gorgeous- the Bergamaschi scored 11 goals in the previous three. Bologna is a very strong team, but just two days before the upcoming game, Red-Blue held the most difficult meeting with Inter in the Italian Cup. Thiago Motta's team may not have enough energy to stop Atalanta, who have gained momentum. We bet here that Bergamo will not lose, and the match will be productive, again taking into account the recent attacking achievements of Gian Piero Gasperini's team.
Also, we'll choose Atalanta's total over on corners. The Bergamaschi are among the best in Serie A regarding corner kicks won.
