LiontipsAtalanta vs Bologna. Prediction and Betting Tips for Serie A (August 28, 2021).
Command Analysis
Atalanta started the new season of Serie A with a trip to Turin. Gian Piero Gasperini's charges opened the scoring already in the sixth minute, and then comfortably maintained the advantage. Torino eventually seized the initiative and responded with a goal at the end of the game. However, Atalanta weren't happy with a draw: in injury time, the newbie Roberto Piccoli sealed the deal for the team from Bergamo (2:1).
Bologna have played two official matches in the new season. They lost at home to Ternana in the Coppa Italia thriller (4:5) and were eliminated from the tournament. In the first round of Serie A, Sinisa Mijailovic's team hosted the newly promoted Salernitana. The Red-blues had another high-scoring match, exchanging goals with the opponents, but this time they managed to get the desired three points (3:2).

Tip and bets
Bologna are a very convenient opponent for Atalanta, who won the last seven head-to-head games in Bergamo. In the last game, Atalanta absolutely destroyed Bologna (5:0). The hosts' lineup looks more interesting. The guests will have to focus on the defense, occasionally answering with counterattacks, but we believe that they will not be able to withhold the formidable attacking line of Atalanta.
Our prediction - Asian handicap (-1.5) to Atalanta.
The teams have shown good performance in the first game of the 2021/2022 Serie A. Atalanta haven't scored at home in only 1 out of 10 latest games, and Bologna will find their chances at counterattacks. We expect an open game and many goals scored.
Our second bet - total over 3.5 goals
