Monday, from 20:00, Cagliari will receive the Atalanta visit in a match for the 22nd Serie A. The match will take place at the “Sardegna Arena” stadium in Cagliari.
Being perhaps the most form-fitting team in Italy today, Atalanta confirmed this fact including mid-week when he humiliated Juventus in the quarter-finals of the Italian Cup, scoring 3-0. At the same time, “La Dea” has the best attack in Serie A, with 47 goals scored in 21 matches, of which 14 only came in the last three stages. It seems that Gasperini’s offensive triple, Gomez-Ilicic-Zapata is a lethal one right now, but we can not underestimate Cagliari, especially when it evolves on its own ground. The Sarzii recorded a single home defeat in this championship, a 0-1 overtime, against Napoli. Otherwise, Rolando Maran’s band almost relies exclusively on the points obtained on the “Sardegna Arena”, as the developments on the foreign land of the gangs do not coincide with those at home.
In the last ten direct confrontations between the two bands, Cagliari was forced five times, while Atalanta won the other five duels;
The previous direct dispute took place about three weeks ago in the finals of the Italian Cup finals when Atalanta won the “Sardegna Arena” score 2-0;
The last success of home games against Atalanta dates back to May 2018, from a 1-0;
Probable teams:
Cagliari (4-3-1-2): Cragno-Srna, Pisacane, Ceppitelli, Pellegrini- Ionita, Cigarini, Padoin- Birsa- Joao Pedro, Pavoletti
Atalanta (3-4-1-2): Berisha-Toloi, Djimsiti, Palomino-Hateboer, De Roon, Freuler, Castagne- A. Gomez, Ilicic, Zapata
PREDICTION: Atalanta to win @ 1.66
