Match description
Atalanta holds a clear advantage in chance creation and game control at home: average xG in home matches is 1.89 versus Bologna’s 1.21 xG on the road, with Atalanta averaging 17.5 shots and 5.28 on target per match compared to Bologna’s 11.11 shots and 3.78 on target. Defensively the hosts also perform better: Atalanta concedes 0.78 goals per home match and records 39% clean sheets, while Bologna concedes 1.28 goals away and has only 22% clean sheets. In the last five fixtures Atalanta scored 7 goals (1.4 per match) and averaged 1.2 points per game in that period, whereas Bologna scored 3 goals (0.6 per match) and averaged 0.8 points per game; the visitors conceded 10 goals in those five matches versus 7 conceded by Atalanta. Shot efficiency shows Bologna converts at a higher rate (15% vs 8%) but from far fewer attempts, so Atalanta’s higher xG (1.89 vs 1.21) and greater number of shots on target should offset that conversion advantage. Taking this into account I tip a home win and estimate probabilities of approximately 58% for Atalanta, 22% for a draw and 20% for Bologna.
