Atalanta will welcome Cagliari to the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo on Saturday for Serie A gameweek four of the new season.
La Dea had a decent start to the 2026/2027 season but suffered their first defeat last weekend, thanks in no small part to a red card.
On the other hand, the visitors arrive looking to build on their win at the weekend after their previous back-to-back defeats.

Atalanta and Cagliari both head into this Serie A meeting with six points from their opening three matches, having each recorded two wins and one defeat.
The hosts’ unbeaten start came to an end against Roma last weekend after their opponents struck twice from the 89th minute onwards to secure a 2-1 victory.
That result ended a four-match unbeaten run in competitive football for La Dea, who had previously recorded three wins and one draw.
A quick response should be the expectation from Atalanta, particularly given that they have not suffered consecutive league defeats since last November.
They will take confidence in their home form this new campaign, having stayed unbeaten in their last three home games, with two wins and one draw.
Cagliari arrive in better spirits after beating Lecce 1-0 on Monday, with the victory ending a run of two successive defeats across all competitions.
The win was the Sardinians' second Serie A of the campaign, and they will hope to build on it against La Dea.
For now, Cagliari will be focused on maintaining their good start on their travels, having had difficulties last season.
Last season, they secured only one victory in their last seven Serie A games and will hope they can turn it around this new campaign.

The Nerazzurri will be motivated by their home form, with the hope of putting behind them their first loss of the season.
