Match begins: 13:00 (UTC)
Venue: Gewiss Stadium (26393 seats)

Look at this appealing game in the Serie A. Atalanta is in the 10th position after playing four matches. They host Cagliari who are placed 18th after four matches.

It's quite the trip for Cagliari when visiting Atalanta as the cities are 900 kilometers apart.

Only a few days to rest for the team playing at home, as they performed in a Europa League fixture only three days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Rakow Czestochowa, was also a home game here at Gewiss Stadium. The away team is better rested.
