Bournemouth vs Atalanta Predictions
[wptb id=395931]
Premier League and Serie A Cross Paths
Key Stats
– Atalanta’s goal-fest preseason performances, boasting 16 goals in two matches, indicates an attacking force to reckon with.
– Emmanuel Latte’s hat-trick in the last game emphasises his emerging role in Atalanta’s forward line.
As the 2023-24 Premier League season looms, Bournemouth continue to meticulously prepare, and their challenge this Saturday comes in the form of Atalanta. Fresh off their second preseason win, Bournemouth are all set to test their mettle against Atalanta, who have convincingly dominated their lower-tier opponents so far in their preseason run-up to the new Serie A season.
Despite the departure of Gary O’Neil, Bournemouth are finding their footing under the new leadership of Andoni Iraola. The Basque boss has already tasted victory twice this preseason, the latest being a 3-2 win against Southampton where David Brooks netted the late winner. Iraola has his sights set on mid-table stability in the Premier League, having admirably fended off relegation last season with a 15th place finish.

In a bid to shore up the squad, several additions have been made over the summer. Notable among them is Hamed Traore, alongside Romain Faivre, Milos Kerkez, and Justin Kluivert. These new recruits could play a pivotal role in the upcoming campaign.
Atalanta’s Rampant Preparations
Atalanta, on the other hand, are no strangers to victory either. Gian Piero Gasperini’s squad has scored a whopping 16 goals in their last two preseason friendlies, including a hat-trick by Ivorian striker Emmanuel Latte. As Rasmus Hojlund’s departure seems imminent, the Italian side is eyeing El Bilal Toure as a worthy replacement, bolstering their frontline.
With the Serie A season about to commence, Atalanta are eager to improve upon their fifth-place finish last season. The recent stellar performances are surely an indication of their readiness to once again compete with Italy’s top teams.
Predictions
Now to the predictions, all drawn from a careful consideration of the recent forms, tactical approach, and specific player performances of both teams.
1. Win-Draw-Win: A Close Contest
Considering the tactical prowess of both teams, and the nature of pre-season games, the prediction for this game in terms of the win-draw-win market leans towards a draw. Given Bournemouth’s impressive performances in their recent outings and Atalanta’s knack for scoring goals, a draw is likely. The odds here should be tempting enough.
2. Correct Score Prediction: Goals Galore
A high-scoring game is anticipated, considering Atalanta’s fierce attack and Bournemouth’s home advantage. A correct score prediction of 2-2 appears plausible. Atalanta’s attacking prowess, demonstrated by their 16 goals in the last two games, combined with Bournemouth’s home ground familiarity and form, make this a possible outcome.
3. Goalscorer Prediction: Emmanuel Latte
Emmanuel Latte, having scored a hat-trick in the last game, is a strong contender for scoring in this match. Latte could be the man to watch out for as he steps up in Hojlund’s absence. Though pre-season, his form seems promising, and his performance will be critical for Atalanta’s success.
