Bookmaker Ratings prediction one: Atalanta to Win to Nil – 2.10
Bookmaker Ratings prediction two: Atalanta -3.5 Corners Handicap – 1.66
Bookmaker Ratings prediction three: Under 3.5 Goals – 1.75
Atalanta to Win to Nil
La Dea beat Cagliari in their last six meetings and in three of those meetings to nil. Moreover, Atalanta have not conceded in four of their last five games. Meanwhile, Cagliari failed to score in eight of their last ten away matches. Considering all these facts, the probability of Atalanta winning the game without conceding is very high.
Atalanta -3.5 Corners Handicap
Undoubtedly, Atalanta will be on the offensive from the start to make up for the four points they lost in their last two fixtures. That will allow La Dea to be close to Cagliari’s goal win a high number of corner kicks.
According to statistics, Atalanta win on average 6.10 corners per game at home. While Cagliari’s average is 2.18 corners per game while playing on the road. As a result, we think Atalanta can win four more corners than Cagliari in this game.
Under 3.5 Goals
Three of Atalanta’s last four matches ended in 0-0 and in four of their last six matches under 3.5 goals were scored. Cagliari also were involved in low-scoring encounters recently as their last five games saw the same number of strikes. Hence, backing fewer than 3.5 goals to be scored in this match seems to be a good option.

Preliminary review and match prediction for Atalanta vs Cagliari
Atalanta simply lost their early season form and have now won just one of their last five games. That allowed for Juventus to catch up with them and are now just a point behind the Nerazzurri.
Obviously, the battle will be for the fourth spot between Atalanta and Juventus who are separated by one point with Atalanta having a game in hand. Therefore, boss Gasperini has to raise his team’s focus for this game as they can’t afford to lose any more points.
Examining Atalanta’s last five games we can see how they’re in a rollercoaster sort of form. To explain, La Dea lost at home to Roma 4-1 in their heaviest defeat at the Gewwis Stadium in a long time.
Then, they played three goalless draws and a 6-2 win away to Udinese which is their biggest win of the season. Clearly, Gasperini will address his offense as he prepares for Sunday’s game.
On the other side, Cagliari have a very serious battle of their own, avoiding relegation. Apart from last season when they had two fewer points at this stage, the Islanders are having their worst Serie A campaign in ten years.
Having finished 16th in 2020/21 and managed to stay at the top flight for another term, Cagliari fans didn’t expect to see their team in the same situation. However, some positive results occurred in the last three games winning two drawing one and losing by a penalty to Roma.
Thus, boss Mazzarri is working hard to raise the winning mentality and fighting spirit within his players. Surely, with 15 matches still to be played, the Islanders are not done yet.
Sebouh Babikian Prediction for Atalanta vs Cagliari
Despite drawing their last two games 0-0 and losing four points in the process, nonetheless, they were against strong teams. Notably, to draw with Inter Milan means a lot and then a goalless draw at the Olimpico with Lazio is not the end of the world.
Consequently, Gasperini will be more on the offensive come Sunday noon to secure all three points. Although Cagliari showed some improvements in their last four games we don’t expect them to trouble their hosts. Thus, a home win is an obvious choice for us.
Safe Bet
The combo bet Atalanta win or draw and over 2.5 goals has odds of 1.49. The probability of this bet to win is very high since La Dea are the favorites to win but a surprise draw is not out of the question. In addition, there is a 63% chance that over 2.5 goals will be scored. Thus considering the odds, we think it is safe to back this bet.
Quick Rich
Gasperini will be ready for this match and will make sure his team gets off to a firing start. Considering, Atalanta won the first half in their last seven victories, we predict they will be the winners before the interval by one goal. And with odds of 3.30 for this outcome, it makes a good choice for a quick profit.
