Atalanta
Coach Colantuono has players returning in defence: Raimondi and Stendardo are both available to start the match. Tiribocchi and Gabbiadini will replace Denis and Marilungo, who are both injured. The options for the midfield are just as limited, where the usual 4-man pack is safe to play.
probable lineups : Consigli, Peluso, Manfredini, Standardo, Raimondi, Moralez, Cigarini, Carmona, Schelotto, Tiribocchi, Gabbiadini. (4-4-2).

Bologna
Pioli will miss Ramirez due to an injury, so Kone and Taider are in competition to take his spot. Di Vaio will lead the attack once again, but Acquafresca is ready to have some playing time in the second half. Morleo and Pulzetti are set to patrol the flanks.
probable lineups : Gillet, Raggi, Partanova, Antonsson, Pulzetti, Perez, Mudingayi, Morleo, Kone, Diamanti, Vaio. (3-5-2).

Atalanta have the current third best unbeaten streak, alongside Milan,
now 7 matches without a loss. Safety is almost ensured, but yet not
confirmed mathematically, so this match against direct rivals will
require maximum concentration from the players.
Bologna have only lost one of their last 12 matches, they are in a good
form and feel even less pressure from the drop than Atalanta. A single
point here could be enough, but then the away side may try for the
victory.
These two teams are in a good moment of their season and quite far from
the relegation zone. Winning this match would also secure safety for
either side, so expect both teams to attack and create goal scoring
opportunities. A draw could help both of them, but a 0-0 is pretty
unlikely to happen here.
Atalanta 2 - 2 Bologna
