Cagliari take on the visitors Atalanta In the round 31 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Sunday, April 7th at Unipol Domus (Cagliari).
Based on the results of last season, Cagliari managed to secure fifth place in Serie B at the end of the regular season and earned promotion through the playoffs. But whether the islanders will be able to maintain their place in the elite of Italian football for at least another year is uncertain. Currently, only two points separate the red-blues from the relegation zone. It's commendable that in the last six league matches, Cagliari suffered only one defeat, and that was away against Monza (0-1). However, slightly earlier at home, the team lost to both Lazio (1-3) and Torino (1-2). It will be very difficult for them to even secure a draw in the match against Atalanta.

Gasperini's team currently sits in sixth place in the table. Yes, Atalanta are unlikely to compete for a Champions League spot, but they still have a chance to qualify for the Europa League. Roma, currently in fifth place, has played one more match and leads Bergamo's team by just two points. If Atalanta secures a victory against one of the relegation candidates, they will surpass Roma in the standings. Not long ago, the Goddess had a five-match winning streak in the championship, which was then followed by four matches without victories. However, their opponents in those matches were very serious: Inter, Milan, Juventus, and Bologna – all from the top four. In the last round, Bergamo's team ended their winless streak by defeating the reigning country champion, Napoli, away (3-0).
One team is fighting for a place in European competitions, while the other is fighting to stay in the league. Hence, it's logical to conclude that there is a considerable difference in class between the opponents. The visitors are objectively stronger and should secure three points here. In the last ten rounds of the championship, Atalanta have six victories, while Cagliari have suffered five defeats. In the first round of the current season, Atalanta prevailed over their opponent at home (2-0). I believe the favorite will also prove stronger away from home. In the last seven head-to-head matches between these teams, Atalanta leads with six wins and one draw. My prediction is Away Win.
Prediction for the match: Atalanta to win.
