Serie A is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as Bologna lock horns with Gian Piero Gasperini's Atalanta side in an important clash at the Gewiss Stadium on Sunday.
Atalanta vs Bologna Preview
Atalanta are currently in fifth place in the Serie A standings and have been fairly impressive so far this season. La Dea slumped to a damaging 4-0 defeat at the hands of Atalanta in their previous game and will need to bounce back this weekend.
Bologna, on the other hand, are in fourth place in the league table at the moment and have stepped up to the plate so far this season. The away side eased past Hellas Verona by a 2-0 scoreline last week and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
