Atalanta<\/a> travel to Sardegna Arena on Monday, 27 April (17:30) to face a Cagliari<\/a> side desperate for points at the foot of the Serie A<\/a> table. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The visitors\u2019 impressive defensive record and balanced scoring have them pushing for Europe, while Cagliari\u2019s leaky back line and reliance on their front men have left them nervously glancing over their shoulders. It\u2019s a match-up of possession and precision against direct, high-risk football.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Based on Atalanta\u2019s defensive strength and Cagliari\u2019s tendency to concede, here are our top betting recommendations for this match. We\u2019re particularly confident in Atalanta to win, given their solid away form and Cagliari\u2019s struggles at the back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Atalanta to Win<\/strong><\/td>\n8\/11 @ Bet365<\/a>
(57.9%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nWe are backing Atalanta to win because they’ve kept 12 clean sheets this season and boast a +16 goal difference, while Cagliari have won just 24% of their league games and possess the second-highest goals conceded tally among bottom-half clubs. Atalanta\u2019s balanced attack delivers even without a league top scorer.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Over 2.5 Goals<\/strong><\/td>\n11\/10 @ Betfair<\/a>
(47.6%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nThere could be value here due to both teams consistently outperforming their xG: Atalanta have scored 45 from 17.68 xG and Cagliari 33 from just 6.72 xG. Cagliari\u2019s defensive frailty (47 conceded in 33) suggests this could open up in the second half.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
