Atalanta vs. Cagliari 2/6/22 Serie A Soccer Pick, Predictions, and Odds

Atalanta is hosting Cagliari at Gewiss Stadium in round 24 of the Italian Serie A. Atalanta has been pretty sloppy as of late, and they are not effective when it comes to scoring goals, but they have the ability to outscore anyone. Cagliari has been decent lately, they have scored some nice goals, and they are on the verge of getting out of the relegation zone.

Even though Atalanta is undefeated in their last 5 games, they failed to win their last 2 against Inter and Lazio in Serie A. With 43 points, Atalanta is now in 4^th place in Serie A, they have scored a solid 44 goals, but they are averaging over 1 conceded goal per game, 26 goals in 22 games to be precise. I did mention Atalanta wasn’t able to win their last 2 games, and it get worse because Atalanta failed to score in both of those games. Ilicic and Miranchuk are both injured, while Atalanta sold Gosens, and he was an important piece for them. Zapata is still the leading goalscorer for Atalanta with 9 goals, while Pasalic added 8 goals and 5 assists. Atalanta is one of the teams who are capable of scoring a ton of goals, but they are having a tough time accomplishing that this season, but there is still time to change that.

Cagliari is now only 1 point away from the safe zone, and thanks to their solid games before the international break, they might just get out of it. Cagliari is not scoring a lot, only 22 goals in 23 games, while their defense is not defending well at all. Cagliari is averaging almost 2 conceded goals per game, and that is something they need to fix if they want to half an easier second half of the season. Cagliari hasn’t won any of their last 2 Serie A games, but the good news is they have lost only 1 of their last 4 in Serie A, which is slightly better than their competition on the bottom of the table. When it comes to scoring goals, Joao Pedro is one of the best in the league, and he is pretty much the only reason why Cagliari still has a chance of staying in Serie A. Pedro has scored 10 goals. The injury list is a huge problem for Cagliari this season, and I feel like if they had only half of the players back, they would be in the middle of the table right now. Cagliari is in the battle for their survival right now, but I think they can prevail.

Cagliari hasn’t won any of their last 5 games against Atalanta, while Atalanta hasn’t lost in their last 5 games overall. Atalanta is the better team here, that is clear, but I think Cagliari might net a goal here.
