Out of 102 previous Serie A meetings, which team has accrued the most victories? 

Tie

Out of the 102 matches previously disputed between Atalanta and Bologna in Serie A, the two teams have seized 37 wins each and tied 28 times. Moreover, the field advantage is a proven prominent factor in tipping the scales of the match in favour of the Felsinei: the Nerazzurri have in fact conquered the Dall’Ara fief only 9 times, as opposed to the 12 draws thus far.

This will be the first Serie A fixture between the two teams to be played on a Monday.

True

As neither Atalanta nor Bologna had ever crossed swords in Serie A on a Monday before, neither in Bergamo nor in Bologna, the upcoming commitment will mark an unprecedented. However, this match will not go down as a historic first since the away Serie B fixture hosted at the Dall’Ara stadium back in the 2005/06 season (culminated in the 1-1 draw, courtesy of Lamberto Zauli and Nicola Ventola) was also played on a Monday.

At which minute did Cisse score last season? 

82′

Despite his senior bow only three months after his debut for the Primavera team already being front page material, nonetheless, Cisse was bent on not settling for such a remarkable achievement and, after being subbed in 65 minutes into the match in lieu of his attacking teammate Muriel, he scored the winning goal in the 82nd minute. Pictured down below is Cisse, carried in triumph by his teammates.

Who has NOT scored his first Serie A goal as an Atalanta player against Bologna?

Pašalić 

While we’re on our stroll through memory lane remembering Moustapha Cisse‘s debut goal last season, we seize the moment to hint at another trivia as Duván Zapata scored his first goal in Serie A as an Atalanta player against Bologna; namely during Matchday 11 of the 2018/19 season. To add more context, Duván was just back from scoring a brace against Hapoel Haifa in the Europa League qualifying rounds. Whereas, Pašalić slotted in his first Serie A goal for Atalanta against Frosinone, on Matchday 1 of the  2018/19 season.

Which is the most common outcome in the Gasperini era?

0-1 

Out of the six prior matches with Gasperini at the helm, the Nerazzurri can flaunt a positive balance of  4 victories, one draw and only a single defeat. With 0-1 being the most recurrent outcome, cropping up on two separate occasions: namely, last season courtesy of Cisse, and all the way back to the 2017/18 campaign, as a right-footed shot from a blood-stained Marten de Roon met the back of the net.
