We give it a probability of 81%. The bookmakers have it available at 1.17.

Goal Statistics

Atalanta's defensive record is very strong, Gian Piero Gasperini's men having conceded 1 or less in 10 consecutive Serie A games. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.0 for Cagliari makes sense in this context.

Atalanta's forwards have been excellent of late, scoring 2 goals or more in 9 consecutive Serie A matches. A PG of 2.0 suggests that run should continue on Saturday afternoon.
