In defense, Gabriele Zappa stands out with a rating of 6.63. His contribution is not limited to thwarting attacks; with 18 key passes and an assist, Zappa's ability to initiate play from the back will be vital for Cagliari's transitional play.
The midfield engine for the home side is Antoine Makoumbou, boasting a rating of 6.70. With 834 passes in total and 12 key passes, his distribution skills will be pivotal in controlling the midfield and creating scoring opportunities.
Defensively, Emil Alfons Holm and Davide Zappacosta are crucial to Atalanta's backline. Holm, with a rating of 6.76, and Zappacosta, at 6.84, not only contribute to their team's defensive solidity but also add to the attack, with Zappacosta scoring 2 goals and both defenders having a combined total of 5 assists.
The advice from the analysis is a 'Double chance: Cagliari or draw', indicating that the home side's form, defense, and key player performances might just be enough to thwart Atalanta's ambitions. With a total home advantage percentage of 45 against Atalanta's 55 for an away win, the match is poised to be a tightly contested affair.
In conclusion, while Atalanta might appear to be the clear favorites, the resilience of Cagliari and the unpredictability of football could see the home side escape with points that are crucial for their survival in Serie A. This Sunday's fixture promises to be an intriguing battle where strategy, form, and individual brilliance will determine whether the underdogs can defy the odds.
