Serie A returns to the fold with another set of matches this weekend as Cagliari lock horns with an impressive Atalanta side in an important encounter at the Sardegna Arena on Sunday.
Cagliari vs Atalanta Preview
Cagliari are in 16th place in the Serie A standings and have not been at their best this season. The home side played out a 1-1 draw against Hellas Verona last week and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.
Atalanta, on the other hand, are in sixth place in the league table and have been fairly impressive so far this season. La Dea slumped to a narrow 1-0 defeat at the hands of Fiorentina in the Coppa Italia in their previous game and will need to bounce back this weekend.
Cagliari vs Atalanta Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- Atalanta have a good recent record against Cagliari and have won 17 out of the last 35 matches played between the two teams, as opposed to Cagliari's 12 victories.
- Cagliari and Atalanta have not played out a single draw in their last 17 matches against each other in the Serie A, with Atalanta winning 10 of these games.
- Atalanta have won five of their last six matches against Cagliari in the Serie A and have scored a total of 12 goals in these six games.

- After a run of four defeats on the trot in the Serie A, Cagliari have lost only one of their last six matches in the competition.
Cagliari vs Atalanta Prediction
Atalanta have an impressive squad at their disposal and have thrived under Gian Piero Gasperini's tutelage. Teun Koopmeiners and Gianluca Scamacca can be effective on their day and will look to add to their goal tallies this weekend.
Cagliari remain on the edge of the relegation zone but have managed to improve in recent weeks. Atalanta are the better team, however, and should be able to win this game.
