Atalanta vs Cagliari Prediction & Betting tips
The Coppa Italia has a spectacular duel to offer on Thursday evening, because with Atalanta a troop enters the lawn that is rarely involved in boring games.
The last rounds in the league were furious for the Lombards. It is therefore not surprising that in the duel Atalanta Bergamo against Cagliari the prognosis for a home win brings low odds.
In the way of Cagliari is a team that has almost forgotten what it feels like to land a victory. Most recently, it set four league defeats in a row and the most recent victory dates from November 7th.
Atalanta Bergamo :
The troop from Lombardy picked up in the new season where they left off last spring. Meanwhile Atalanta is back at the top of the championship, even the top of the table is only nine points away.
The fact that Cagliari, a massively battered opponent, is visiting Bergamo, makes the coming game almost a must. The bookmakers also see it that way, interpreting the hosts as big favorites.
The last four home games have been terrific, with at least three goals being scored. As a result, Atalanta has now been victorious for four games in their own stadium. On average, almost three goals per game are scored at home.
A major factor for the spectacular offensive game is the Colombian storm duo, consisting of Zapata and Muriel, which together sometimes has 22 goals this season.
As can be seen in the suspensions / injuries in Serie A, only midfielder Pasalic is currently out of the permanent staff. The fact that coach Gasperini can bring up his first team on Thursday makes a tip on the home team at Atalanta Bergamo vs. Cagliari look very promising.
We assume that the home side will take it a little more leisurely due to the unfamiliar mode, so as not to receive an early goal in the first place. As many parallel games in the Coppa have shown, the cup usually has significantly fewer goals compared to normal league games.
Cagliari :
The eleven from the Mediterranean island of Sardinia has had some bitter weeks and is therefore in a medium crisis of form. For ten league rounds no more victories have been recorded, most recently it even defeated four times in a row.
For the Coppa Italia, the battered team now has to pull together in order not to go under completely against an aggressively uncompromising opponent. In any case, the bookmakers agree in the run-up to the game and deny the away team at Atalanta Bergamo against Cagliari any chance of promotion with their odds.
It’s not exactly as if Cagliari receives a huge rebuff every week and stumbles across the square completely haphazardly. In fact, the sixteenth in the table always delivers solid performances and often only has to bow to the opponent. It’s just missing a little bit before you leave the place more often with something that can be counted.
In total, nine league defeats are already way too many and the team now has to take its own nose in order not to sink completely into the relegation swamp. Conceding an average of two goals per game is obviously not much help on the way out of the crisis.
It is particularly difficult to do this in a foreign country. One win is matched by five defeats and from the last six guest appearances only two points could be obtained.
Whether the Francesco-Elf is successful on the mission can be seen in our betting base livescore. The starting position could hardly be worse, which is why Atalanta Bergamo vs. Cagliari a prediction of a one-sided game in favor of the home team has to be made.
