Atalanta vs Cagliari Predictions

• Cagliari have only won one of their seven Serie A away games.
• Atalanta have kept three clean sheets in their last five matches.
• The hosts have won seven of the last ten meetings between these two

Chelsea win could kickstart hosts’ season

Atalanta put their poor domestic form behind them with a 2-1 win over Chelsea in the Champions League in midweek and they are fancied to carry that form into this Serie A match as they host Cagliari.

Four defeats from their last five league games does not make pretty reading for the Bergamo-based club but they have won four of their last five in all competitions and the win over Chelsea could prove the catalyst to kick start their season.

Atalanta are currently 12th in the Italian top flight, just two points above their opponents Cagliari, but they do have a rock solid record against these opponents.

Road troubles could haunt Cagliari again

The hosts have won seven of the last ten meetings between the pair and are taken to get all three points against a team who have struggled on their travels.

Cagliari have only taken six points from a possible 21 away from home and their 1-0 win over Roma last time out was their first victory in 11 in all competitions.

The Nerazzurri have kept a clean sheet in three of their last four meetings with these opponents and can win this one to nil too.

Cagliari have already lost 2-0 three times in the league this season and may suffer the same fate here.
