Serie A 2023-2024: Bologna-Atalanta, the likely lineups

Bologna-Atalanta, the probable formations

Bologna and Atalanta face off in the 17th day of Serie A. Kickoff is at 3 p.m. at the 'Dall'Ara'. It is a match with a European flavor: the Rossoblù, galvanized by the success in the Coppa Italia against Inter, with a victory would climb to fourth place alone, while the Nerazzurri, two points behind the Felsinei, are looking for the three points to overtake them and get closer to the Champions zone.

Thiago Motta recovers Orsolini, but is expected to start from the bench, with Ndoye and Saelemaekers the offensive outfielders and Ferguson the trequartista, behind Zirkzee's only striker. Midfield dike formed by Moro, favored over Aebischer, and Freuler. In defense, confirmation for the Beukema-Calafiori pair.

Gasperini seems intent on confirming Muriel in attack, supported by Lookman and Koopmeiners. Scamacca has recovered, but will start from the bench. Midfield outfielders will be Zappacosta and Ruggeri, in defense Kolasinac returns, in goal Musso is back.
