Cagliari
- Fabio Pisacane has done well to keep Cagliari afloat since taking over in June 2025 with his youthful, pragmatic, compact and disciplined 3-5-2 system, which is all about organising well defensively and pressing selectively.
- They have one win and one defeat in their last two home games, but have lost four of their last five overall.
Atalanta
- His team are high-intensity, high-tempo, high-press 3-4-2-1 players who like to attack down the wings where their wing-backs play with intensity and are expected to come back in defense.
- They have two wins, a draw and two defeats in their last five in all competitions.
Head-to-Head
- Atalanta have won three of the last five Serie A games between the two clubs (Cagliari one, Draw 1).
- Atalanta have five wins, seven draws and four defeats in 16 Serie A away games (average 1.25 goals per away game).
Key Players
Nikola Krstovic leads the line for the away side with 10 Serie A goals in 2025-26 and has scored twice in his last five appearances, while Sebastiano Esposito has six for the season and has bagged two of Cagliari’s last three goals.
Betting Insights
- Atalanta have an away win record of five, seven and four in 16 games and their odds of 1.85 are too short to back, although they may still be a good option to squeeze out an away victory on Monday.
- Both teams to score - No looks the best bet here as Atalanta should not be opposed at anytime in this one, even though Cagliari have the ability to be a tricky opponent.
Prediction
Atalanta Bergamo were 2-1 winners when these sides last met four months ago and La Dea are expected to prevail again on Monday, although a low-scoring match is anticipated.
