Our prediction for this Coppa Italia match:
Atalanta
Match Time & Date:
18/12/2024
18:30
Prediction: 3-1
Cesena
Following a hard-fought 1-0 win over Cagliari, high-flying Atalanta will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Cesena in the Coppa Italia last 16. The Orobici look unstoppable at the moment and even though boss Gian Piero Gasperini is likely to mix the squad, home win should be considered. Both Ademola Lookman and Berat Djimsiti are pushing for a start, while Martin De Roon serves a one-game ban.
The Bianconeri, on the other hand, did well to beat Cosenza 2-1 in their last Serie B game, but they will have a mountain to climb against Atalanta, who have turned their Gewiss Stadium into a real fortress. In their last encounter in Bergamo Atalanta defeated Cesena 3-2 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. The good news for the visitors is that Sierra Leone international Augustus Kargbo is back from suspension.
