Atalanta vs Sassuolo Prediction

Atalanta form

Atalanta collected seven points from their last three matches, as they ran out 0-1 and 1-0 winners against Roma and Fiorentina, respectively. Against Udinese, they had to settle for a draw after a 2-2 draw. Atalanta managed to win two of their past six home matches in the Serie A. In the remaining four, they drew three and lost one, as they scored seven and conceded five goals.

They opened the season hopeful of medals, but in current form Atalanta even deserves a mention when talking about the title.

Sassuolo Form

In the last three matches, Sassuolo beat Torino 0-1, won 5-0 against Salernitana, and lost 1-2 against Inter. Sassuolo won twice, while also recording two draws, and two defeats in their last six away matches in the Serie A. The scoreline from these matches says 12 goals conceded and seven scored.

An optimal season could perhaps see Sassuolo qualifying for Europe, but so far they look well underway to a nice mid-table finish.
