Atalanta - Cagliari: Prediction, facts, betting tips and H2H - September 12, 2026
On Saturday, September 12, we will see Atalanta take on Cagliari in the fourth round of Italy's Serie A. The match will kick off at 20:45 CET, and I am offering a bet on it.
Atalanta - Cagliari: Match preview
Atalanta began the new competitive season earlier, as they played in the UEFA Conference League qualifiers. Atalanta finished seventh in the table, collecting 59 points from 38 rounds. Their European qualification campaign went quite well. Atalanta secured a place in the UEFA Conference League by beating Hapoel Tel Aviv 1-0 in both matches. In Serie A, the team started with two wins: 2-1 against Sassuolo and 1-0 against Bologna. However, in their previous game, Roma beat the Bergamaschi 2-1. Six points after three matches, a goal difference of 4:3 and eighth place.
Cagliari have not been particularly consistent at the start of the season, but their results can still be considered decent when it comes to Serie A. Cagliari beat Parma 1-0 in the opening round, then suffered a 0-1 home defeat to Inter, while in their previous game, Cagliari defeated Lecce 1-0 at home. As a result, they have six points after three matches, a goal difference of 2:1 and ninth place. However, Cagliari have already been knocked out of the Coppa Italia, losing 1-2 to Verona in the round of 32.
