Cagliari vs Atalanta Prediction & Match Preview

Cagliari host Atalanta on Sunday afternoon in Matchday No 31 at Unipol Domus. Both teams are in big need for points in their separate battles. Cagliari sit just two points above the relegation area while Atalanta hold the 6th place with a seven-point deficit to Bologna in 4th position.

• Cagliari took just one point from the last two league games against Monza and Verona, scoring once along the way.
• Atalanta celebrated six wins in the previous seven head-to-head meetings with Cagliari.
• Five of Cagliari’s last six league outings ended with fewer than three goals scored.

Cagliari have been playing hot and cold since the beginning of the season. They are currently on a poor spell of form. The Rossoblu took just one point from the previous two league games against Monza and Verona. They’ve scored just once in the process.

Atalanta snapped their four-game undefeated streak with a 0-1 loss at Fiorentina on Wednesday evening in the first leg of the Coppa Italia semi-finals. The defeat came just four days after a huge 3-0 victory away at Napoli in the previous Serie A round.

Recent Meetings

• Atalanta have dominated this matchup in recent years. They won six of the previous seven meetings with the Rossoblu.
• Atalanta claimed a 2-0 victory in this season’s clash against Cagliari in September last year in Bergamo.
• Cagliari have lost only 7 of the previous 21 home matches against La Dea.

Cagliari vs Atalanta Prediction

The quality is on Atalanta’s side and it is very hard to look past the away win bet at the 1.72 odds. La Dea clinched a huge 3-0 win at Napoli last weekend. They are seven points shy of Bologna in 4th place but have a game in hand on them, meaning it is only a four-point deficit in theory.

With Champions League football on the line, we doubt La Dea will drop points against the likes of Cagliari. Finally, Atalanta will also go into this on the back of six wins in the previous seven head-to-head encounters with the Rossoblu.

Cagliari have found goals hard to come by in recent weeks. They have mainly been focused on defence. Five of their previous six league matches thus finished with fewer than three goals scored.

Atalanta go into this off the back of a 0-1 defeat at Fiorentina in mid-week’s Coppa Italia clash. We did not see three or more goals in the reverse clash between these two rivals in the first half of the season. The Under 2.5 goals pick is well worth backing at the 2.05 odds.
