Atalanta BC will welcome Bologna to play at the Gewiss Stadium for the first time in their historic cup competition meeting during this season's Coppa Italia quarter-finals.
La Dea faced the quarter-finals with a 6-1 Serie B defeat against Cesena as the Red and Blues won their match against Monza with a 4-0 score.
Atalanta controlled the match early at Gewiss Stadium by first scoring through Davide Zappacosta in the fourth minute before Charles De Ketelaere added two more goals while Lazar Samardzic scored a third goal in the 27th minute.
Atalanta finished their rout in the second half when Marco Brescianini hit the fifth strike and Lazar Samardzic netted his double while Joseph Ceesay managed to score late to secure a crucial win in theらの first round.
After two final matches as opponents Juventus defeated Atalanta 2-1 in 2020-21 and 1-0 throughout last term. The Goddess have now qualified for their fifth consecutive Quarter-Finals after successfully advancing in two previous contests.
A struggling Bologna team stands between Atalanta Bar and the achievement of last season's victory since the clubs have lost all four of their previous league matches with three Bologna victories and one draw.
Intense competition among Serie A teams reveals that Inter still holds third place through a 1-1 draw with Torino but Napoli maintains its league leader status while Inter has finished one match.
Bologna finds excellent timing ahead of this matchup because they aim to capitalize upon Sassuolo's inconsistent Serie A performance which includes only one victory from their previous seven home matches.
In Italian tournaments, Rossoblu has performed well lately. They have won two of their past three games, including a 2-0 victory against Como last time out that moved them up to sixth place in the Serie A rankings.
The Red and Blues' winning streak in all competitions now stands at seven games, with three victories and four draws, thanks to the outcome.
Bologna will try to maintain this momentum going into Tuesday's cup match in an attempt to make it to the semi-finals for the first time since Fiorentina eliminated them in 1998–99.
Notably, Vincenzo Italiano's team has advanced to the quarterfinals in consecutive seasons after outplaying Monza, who were defeated by goals from Santiago Castro, Riccardo Orsolini, Tommaso Pobega, and Benjamín Domínguez.
Giorgio Scalvini (shoulder), Ademola Lookman (knee), and Odilon Kossounou (hamstring) are the three Atalanta players undergoing treatment and will not play in Tuesday's match.
Mateo Retegui, the team's leading scorer this season, is slated to start at the top of Gasperini's lineup, which is considered to be strong given the caliber of the opposition.
Rui Patricio could keep his place in goal on Tuesday after making just his second appearance for La Dea last time out. He also played in the team's cup victory against Cesena.
Lewis Ferguson will not play for Bologna due to a hamstring injury, and Orsolini is still doubtful after missing the previous three games due to the same problem.
