Atalanta vs Bologna Preview

Atalanta vs Bologna

Competition – Italy Serie A

Stadium: New Balance Arena

Date: 31st August 2026

Kick-off time – 19:45 GMT

Atalanta host Bologna at the New Balance Arena on Monday evening in a meeting of two sides looking to find their feet in the opening weeks of the new Serie A season.

Atalanta’s form has been solid through the summer. Their most recent outing brought a 2-1 win at home over Sassuolo in the league. Prior to that, a goalless draw at home to Hapoel Tel Aviv in Europe was a quieter night. Before that, a 1-0 home win over Athletic Bilbao was a useful pre-season result. Earlier in this run, a 3-0 win away at Schalke and a 2-1 defeat away at Feyenoord complete a five-match sequence of three wins, one draw and a single loss.

Bologna’s form has been considerably tougher. Their most recent outing ended in a 0-1 home defeat to Lazio in the league. Prior to that, a 1-0 defeat away at Brighton continued a difficult run. Before that, a 1-4 home defeat to Pisa started their poor sequence. Earlier in this run, two separate 3-1 home wins over Cambuur complete a five-game spell of two wins and three losses.

The head-to-head record between the two sides is closely balanced, with Atalanta and Bologna winning two of the last five meetings apiece and one draw. Most recently, Bologna won 1-0 away at Atalanta. In the previous encounter, Atalanta won 2-0 away at Bologna.

In Italy, the match is live on DAZN Italia and Sky Sport Calcio, available via Sky Go Italia and NOW TV. In the UK and Ireland, coverage is on DAZN UK, while viewers in the United States can catch the action on Paramount+ and Peacock.
