Atalanta - Cagliari Prediction, Picks and Tips

In the quarter finals of the Coppa Italia, Cagliari visits Atalanta. They also faced each other in Bergamo at the beginning of October, when Atalanta managed to win no less than 5-2 thanks to five different goal scorers

Just like in January last year, Atalanta scores again on the assembly line. The new year started with a 5-1 victory over Sassuolo, which ended 2020 in the top five of Serie A. Subsequently, Parma and Benevento were also swept off the mat, both times the Bergamo team won by three goals. With that, Atalanta again has the scoring drive that it had in January last season. For example, they won 5-0 against Parma and 7-0 against Torino. Yet it was not a holiday season for the stunt team as it was eliminated in the Coppa Italia by Fiorentina and in the competition SPAL was too strong. Perhaps the most important progress that Atalanta made is that both Duvan Zapata and Luis Muriel easily find the target again. After the first encounter with Ajax at the end of October, Zapata was dry twelve duels in a row, while he now scored four times in the last three matches in which he started in the base, and he also scored one more time in the two matches in which he came in between. His fellow countryman and regular replacement Muriel does not need a lot of minutes to score, he has scored six goals in two starting places and three raids.

This season, the islanders of Cagliari are going downhill. After winning five more times in October in seven matches in Serie A and Coppa Italia, there were no more wins in the next nine league matches. In early December, there was a series with four draws and one loss, since then there have been four losses in a row. Against Napoli this was with large numbers, but against AS Roma, Benevento and Fiorentina this was with only one goal difference. Last weekend, the only player who manages to perform this season with the Sardinians also fell through the ice. Joao Pedro missed from the penalty spot in the nineteenth minute. It was the Brazilian's first miss after two striking penalties this season, hitting five of the seven penalties in the previous three seasons.
