Cagliari vs Atalanta: Team News and Expert Analysis
The Sardinian club last season managed to secure a safe fifteenth place even with 36 points. This season could be similar: the results are unimpressive, but there may again be enough even weaker teams. However, there were far too many defeats in the spring. Fortunately, they at least beat Cremonese, though a heavy defeat to Inter followed as expected.
The team from Bergamo was long managed by Gasperini—he took them to the Champions League playoffs and secured a third-place finish in his last season. His summer replacement, Juric, failed everywhere and was swiftly replaced by Palladino. With Palladino, Atalanta reached the Champions League playoffs—where they lost only to Bayern. In the cup, they recently lost in the semifinals against Lazio after a pair of draws, with the penalty shootout going to the opponent. In Serie A, Atalanta couldn’t catch the top four. In the last rounds, they lost to Juventus and drew against Roma.
The islanders, scoring just one goal per game, concede much more—1.42 on average. For De Ketelaere and company, it's the opposite: 1.36 goals scored and 0.88 conceded per match.
