Atalanta vs Bologna Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

I Nerazzurri to take on Bologna in Coppa Italia next.

Atalanta are all set to host Bologna in their upcoming Coppa Italia 2024-25 quarter-final clash on February 5. They are doing well in Serie A. The team is fighting for the title alongside Inter Milan and Napoli. Bologna are also doing decently well and will be looking to enter the top four spot in the Italian league.

Atalanta will be at their home and full of confidence as they dominated Cesena in their last Coppa Italia match locked in their spot for the quarterfinals. The Europa League defending champions are giving top clubs a tough fight and will not settle for less when they face Bologna next which is surely not as tough but is surely an important fixture.

Bologna also secured a dominating win over their opponents Monza in their Coppa Italia round of 16 outing. They are doing well in the league. Bologna are going for a tough battle as they face the in-form side next.

Players to Watch

Lazar Samardzic (Atalanta)

The Serbian midfielder is a top asset. In the last Coppa Italia outing Lazar Samardzic scored a brace. He also came up with an assist and displayed a top performance which led his side to a win. Lazar Samardzic is going to play a key role when the hosts will take on Bologna next.

Santiago Castro (Bologna)

The Argentine has been a real deal for Bologna this season. Santiago Castro is 20 years old and has scored a decent amount of goals in a tier 1 league. As of Coppa Italia, he has scored one goal and has provided three assists to his teammates.

This speaks a lot about the young talent. He might become a real danger to the opposition’s defence.
