AFC Bournemouth vs Atalanta Match Analysis & Prediction
29/07/2023 5:00 pm
AFC Bournemouth’s preparations for the 2023-24 Premier League campaign continue on Saturday, as Atalanta BC arrive on England’s south coast.
As life under new coach Andoni Iraola takes shape, Bournemouth secured victory in their third run-out of the summer by beating Southampton 3-2 on Tuesday, despite letting a two-goal lead slip at St Mary’s Stadium.
Although Bournemouth defied the odds to survive relegation from the Premier League last season, finishing 15th in the table and five points above the bottom three, Gary O’Neil was replaced by former Spain international and ex-Rayo Vallecano coach Iraola last month.
Hamed Traore has been secured on a permanent deal, while Milos Kerkez, Romain Faivre and Justin Kluivert also join the squad which started pre-season by beating Hibernian 4-0 and losing 1-0 to Maccabi Tel Aviv at a training camp in Marbella.
Next week, Bournemouth will face Lorient in their final game before beginning the new Premier League season at home to West Ham United on August 12.
After returning to action with a 10-0 thrashing of lowly Locarno at a training camp in Val Seriana, Atalanta’s preparations stepped up a gear on Thursday.
A friendly with Serie C club Pro Vercelli ended in another victory for Gian Piero Gasperini’s squad, who put six goals past their opponents without reply, with new signing Michel Adopo finding the target and Ivorian striker Emmanuel Latte bagging a hat-trick.
Back in competitive action on August 20, when they travel to Sassuolo, Atalanta wrap up their preparations in the German capital next weekend, with a friendly against Union Berlin at Alte Forsterei.

Despite sealing the signing of Inter goalkeeper Ionut Radu this week, Bournemouth may still turn to either club captain Neto or back-up stopper Darren Randolph to provide their last line of defence on Saturday.
