Atalanta shows significantly better form in the last five matches, earning 2.4 points per game with four victories, while Bologna has only 0.4 points per game and zero wins in this period. Although Bologna has a solid home record with a 50% win rate and only 0.75 goals conceded on average per match at home, their recent streak of five losses and draws raises serious concerns. Despite weaker away statistics (25% wins), Atalanta is currently showing a clear upward trend and better efficiency, scoring 6 goals in the last 5 matches while conceding only 3. The difference in form and momentum favors the visitors over the hosts' home advantage; therefore, I predict a win for Atalanta.
