In the second half of the season, Bergamasca has been unable to cope with a tight schedule. In the middle of last week, Gian Piero Gasperini's side were knocked out of the Italian Cup, conceding a late goal at home to Bologna in a 1:0 defeat.
Atalanta then went on the road to face Verona in the domestic championship at the weekend, and it was a similar story. The Bergamaschi sent five unanswered goals through the gates of the Serie A outsider. Four of them came in the first half. 5:0 - Mateo Retegui opened the scoring and Ederson added a second. On the eve of the 25th round of matches, Atalanta is third in the standings, five points behind leaders Napoli.
Wednesday's Champions League match against Brugge was another game where Atalanta lacked energy. After a first-half stalemate, the score was level until the final whistle. But Bergamasca missed from the penalty spot in the 90th minute. 1:2 - Atalanta will have to settle for a win in the return leg.
Cagliari
The Sardinians have a more relaxed schedule and Davide Nicola's side have been picking up points of late. In the previous round, Cagliari defeated Parma 2:1 at home, scoring twice in the 70th minute and conceding just once in the remainder of the game.
Prior to that game, the islanders had suffered two successive defeats - a 2:0 away loss to Torino and a 2:1 home defeat to Lazio - but before that Cagliari had earned points in three consecutive games. The Sardinians held off AC Milan at the San Siro (1:1), beat Monza away (2:1) and Lecce at home (4:1). Cagliari now has 24 points, 13th in the standings and four points clear of the relegation zone.
H2H Meetings
In the first round, Atalanta barely beat Cagliari at home. The only goal came from Nicolo Zagnolo in the 66th minute. In the last edition of the championship, the two sides traded home victories. Atalanta won 2:0 and Cagliari won 2:1. In the last nine meetings with Cagliari, Atalanta have won seven and lost two. It is also worth noting that the teams have not been held to a draw in 21 consecutive meetings.
