Match announcement
Cagliari
Current form
For objective reasons, Cagliari could not set more ambitious goals for itself than maintaining its place in Serie A – so far the Rossoblu are coping with it. With 14 points, Davide Nicola’s team is in 15th place in the table and is two points ahead of 18th-placed Verona – such a handicap leaves the risk of returning to the relegation zone following the results of the upcoming round. Having lost 0:1 to Fiorentina in the last match of the championship, Cagliari broke a series of three matches without defeat.
Disqualifications and injuries
Lapadula is injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Cagliari have suffered just one defeat in their last four matches
- Cagliari have scored in four of their last five home games
Estimated line-up: Sherry - Zappa, Mina, Luperto, Augello - Marin, Macumbu - Deiola, Gaetano, Luvumbu - Piccoli.
Atalanta
Current form
Atalanta approached the start of the season as a clear contender for a ticket to the Champions League, but the "goddess" was definitely not a contender for the championship title. Nevertheless, Gian Piero Gasperini team is playing the first round at a very high level and is currently leading the table with 34 points, two points ahead of second-placed Napoli. This week, Atalanta lost 2:3 at home to Real Madrid in the Champions League, ending up in 13th place in the table.
Disqualifications and injuries
Scamacca, Cuadrado and Scalvini are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Atalanta have won nine of their last 10 matches
- Atalanta have conceded goals from Cagliari in their last two away games
Tentative line-up: Carnesecchi - Djimsiti, Hin, Kolasinac - Bellanova, Ederson, De Ron, Zappacosta - De Ketelare, Lookman - Retegui.

2.17Tip and bets
Atalanta had a tough match in the Champions League last week against Real Madrid, in which they gave a lot of energy – Cagliari will certainly try to take advantage of this. The Rossoblu are not known for their sky-high scoring, but they score regularly at home, including against Atalanta. At the same time, the “goddess” will certainly come for a win, the visitors are in excellent shape and are quite capable of responding.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. Forecast - both will score . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.69
Bet on the outcome
Atalanta have played a lot of matches against very strong opponents recently and in such an intensive schedule it is very difficult to show their best football in each of the matches. It is quite possible that today the guests will try to get three points without spending much effort and will not try to defeat, and Cagliari is capable of giving a fight to any opponent at home.
Bet - Asian handicap (+1.5) on Cagliari. This bet is offered for 1.61
Bet on corners
Atalanta are the favourites and will probably spend most of the match attacking – the visitors should win confidently on corners.
