First-half goals from Ghana international Emmanuel Gyasi and Angolan striker M'Bala Nzola for Spezia were canceled out by second-half goals from Danish attacker Rasmus Hojlund and Croatian midfielder Mario Pasalic for Atalanta.

Bologna vs Atalanta Prediction
Bologna are currently 11th in the league and have won three of their last five league games. Former Inter Milan and Stoke City attacker Marko Arnautovic, who was linked with a move to Manchester United last summer, has scored eight goals in the league so far and is just one goal behind Napoli's Victor Osimhen, who is currently leading the list this season.
Bologna have sold the likes of Takehiro Tomiyasu and Aaron Hickey for fairly decent chunks of money to Premier League sides and will hope that the likes of Nicolas Dominguez, Lewis Ferguson and Joshua Zirkzee follow suit.
Atalanta, on the other hand, are seventh in the league and have won only one of their last five league games. They are five points behind fourth-placed Inter Milan, and their current form will be a source of concern for manager Gian Piero Gasperini.
Gasperini has been at the club since 2016 and has been hailed as one of the best managers in Serie A during his time with Atalanta. However, there comes a time when starting fresh might be the best option for all parties. Given that Atalanta finished eighth last season, it will be interesting to see how they proceed if the current season ends on a similar note.
