Cagliari - Atalanta predictions

While Cagliari winning is still technically possible, we wouldn’t hold our breath. They are severely outmatched compared to Atalanta, so even a draw result would be quite surprising.

Having a 1.78 selection on your slip can be a big boost to your potential winnings and with Atalanta largely expected to beat Cagliari, you’d be wise to use it.

Cagliari disappointed most of their supporters at the $STADUIM last round – though it’s fair to say that the 1:1 draw they ended up recording was always an option. Still, they were fighting from behind since the first half, which is not a great impression to leave in a home game.

The previous round of the Serie A saw Atalanta dominate Napoli despite playing away, ultimately recording an HT/FT victory with a considerable goal difference. Even more impressively, most bookies considered Napoli to be the hard favourites going in, which just goes to show how impressively the away team performed.

The home-pitch advantage appears to be quite important for Cagliari. Their last 3 fixtures at home were crowned by more than 5 goals in total.

Based on their recent performance, Atalanta’s largest issue seems to be defence, especially in away games. With 6 conceded goals in their 3 previous visiting matches, Over 3.5 Goals markets seem like a solid betting option.

Cagliari are placed 16th in the standings with 2 points separating them from the relegation zone. Though the season’s end is approaching, the teams placed below them will be scrambling to stay in the Serie A, and Cagliari are heading into a difficult matchup.

With 50 earned so far, Atalanta are 2 points behind a Europa League qualifying spot. The time to get there is quickly slipping away, though.

The most recent record of this matchup we have is a decisive Atalanta victory from the previous Serie A season. Based partly on the considerable lead they secured before the end of that bout, this game’s away team are expected to win again.

Though it’s a stretch, a Draw bet is likely the best option when it comes to betting on this match. With the odds at 4.09 with 1xbet, it’s not exactly the safest of bets – but it’s quite strong when it comes to value.
