Cagliari return home looking to ease relegation fears but face a tough test against Atalanta, who are chasing European qualification in Serie A.
The hosts’ struggles continued with a 3-0 defeat to leaders Inter Milan, leaving them with just one win from their last ten league matches.
As a result, they sit just five points above the relegation zone, and further defeat could damage their chance of remaining in the Serie A top flight.
There is some encouragement at home, where they beat Cremonese in their last outing, giving them a chance to secure back-to-back home wins.
Atalanta, meanwhile, must quickly recover from Coppa Italia disappointment after losing to Lazio on penalties in midweek.
With that route to silverware gone, their focus shifts entirely to securing a European place via the league.
They may need to close a four-point gap to the top six, although seventh could be enough depending on cup outcomes.
Recent league form has been inconsistent since March, but their away record offers optimism, with just one defeat in their last nine away league matches.
That resilience on the road could prove crucial as they look to bounce back and keep their European hopes alive.

Whispers predicts: Cagliari 0-2 Atalanta
The prediction for a win for the visitors is based on their overall quality and previous head-to-head record against the host.
Cagliari have been struggling to find the net, as seen in their previous games, and facing an Atalanta defence that has been remarkably disciplined will be tough.
Furthermore, Atalanta's motivation to secure a European spot will be a motivation for them when they take on Cagliari.
The bookmakers have made the away side favourites at 1.70, reflecting the home side's poor run of form.
A draw is currently valued at 3.50, while a home victory for the Sardinians is considered a significant upset at 5.00 odds, and BTTS (no) is given at 1.90 odds.
The market for under 2.5 goals is also attractive at 1.90, while Nikola Krstovic scoring at any time in the game is at 2.20 odds.
> Away to win at 1.70 | Likelihood: Probable
> Under 2.5 goals at 1.90 | Likelihood: Probable
> Both teams to score (No) at 1.90 | Likelihood: Possible
> Nikola Krstovic anytime goalscorer at 2.20 | Likelihood: Possible
