During the last 43 meetings, Atalanta have won 21 times, there have been 7 draws while Cagliari Calcio have won 15 times

Gian Piero Gasperini’s men will take on the Islanders on Saturday afternoon in the Serie A. Even though Atalanta are not in form they are still the favourites to win this fixture. Gasperini’s team are still in the Serie A title race and will look to stay in the race.

In 24 games, they have won 15, drawn five and lost four games. They have 50 points on the board and are currently placed in the third spot. The Orobics are still five points behind Napoli who are the table toppers.

They suffered a shocking loss to Club Brugge away from home in the Champions League and despite missing many key players they will look to win this upcoming fixture.

Cagliari narrowly lost their last game against Atalatna by 0-1 and will look to take revenge on them this time out. Overall, the Islanders have been inconsistent in their performance and will look to perform well away from home. In their last five games, they have won twice, lost twice and drawn once.

They lost against Torino and Lazio. They do have players who can make a difference on the pitch and will look to get at least a point from this fixture. This will be a mouthwatering clash for sure.

Raoul Bellanova (Atalanta)
He is a fast and physically strong player and is direct in his approach. Bellanova uses his pace to beat opponents and has the confidence to run down to the corner, and then supply a cross. He can carry the ball from one part of the pitch to another and can beat the defenders easily with his dribbling.

He likes to run up and down the flank and sometimes also gets caught by opposition wingers due to the space he leaves behind. Bellanova will surely be a threat to Cagliari’s low block. In 21 Serie A games, he has provided six assists and in seven Champions League games, he has scored one goal.

Nicolas Viola (Cagliari)
Viola has played his entire professional football career in Italy and now as a veteran, he is a key player for Cagliari. Even though he has lost his pace and power but still due to his experience he is able to do his job very well. Viola does his offensive and defensive duties very well.

He is a leader on the pitch. For the last two seasons, he has been a key player for Cagliari and his experience will be very well-tested against Atalanta for sure. In 17 games, he has scored one goal and has provided one assist.
