Atalanta suffered a blow losing the Serie A Week 29 game on Saturday 8 April 2023 at the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo, Italy. Bologna conquered full three points reaching 43 points to reach the eighth place overcoming Fiorentina. Atalanta sees the opportunity to secure fourth place vanish, remaining at 48 points. Bologna wins a game in which Atalanta holds the ball for long stretches, but never manages to overcome the wall erected by the Emilians. Motta’s team takes the lead at the start of the second half with Sansone and in the final they double up on the counterattack with Orsolini.
Bologna opened the score in the 49th minute. Nicola Sansone defeated Atalanta goalkeeper with a left-footed shot to the bottom left corner. The assist is by Musa Barrow.

✅ Stats before the game: Atalanta are unbeaten in 13 of their last 14 Serie A matches against Bologna (W11, D2) and have won the most recent two. After the success of last January 9, the Goddess could beat the rossoblù formation both in the first leg and in the second leg of the same championship for the first time since 2018/19. The next will be Atalanta’s 2500th goal in Serie A. La Dea could become the 11th team to cross this milestone in the top competition, the first without ever winning a Scudetto (forfeit victories are included in the tally). Atalanta have won three of their last five home games in Serie A (D1, L1), as many victories as they had collected in their previous 14 home games in the tournament (D5, L6). Bologna won their last Serie A match without conceding a goal and could achieve two consecutive successes by keeping clean sheets for the first time since December 2021. In general, the rossoblùs have collected three clean sheets in their most recent five matches in the league, many how many in the previous 23.
Lineup ATALANTA (3-4-1-2): Musso – Djimsiti, Palomino, Scalvini – Zappacosta, De Roon, Ederson, Maehle – Pasalic – Lookman, Hojlund.
