Atalanta - Sassuolo predictions

This is a fairly one-sided matchup in the hosts’ favour. While there may be a tiny chance of a draw or even an upset, we wouldn’t count on it. Atalanta winning is by far the most likely outcome.

From the current viewpoint, the situation is unambiguous. Considering the strength of Atalanta and the 8.30 odds given to Sassuolo to win, it is easy to see that a win for the visiting team would be a remarkable upset.

Atalanta performed beyond all expectations in their previous Serie A match against Genoa . They grabbed an early lead and rode out the momentum until the very end, which resulted in a resolute 1:4 away win.

Sassuolo were the 2.39 underdogs in their previous Serie A matchup, despite facing Torino on home ground. Still, their fans weren’t as disappointed as most predictions expected them to be. Records show that the match turned out to be an HT/FT draw – a success for Sassuolo considering the lopsided odds.

Atalanta have managed to bag 9 goals in the last three showdowns, and the supporters at Stadio Atleti Azzurri d'Italia are expecting a lot of action this time around.

It’s easy to spot a certain trend when looking over Sassuolo’s recent history – and not in a good way. Their latest appearances were marked by a high concession rate. For example, their previous 3 matches featured more than 5 conceded goals.

It’s hard to doubt the home team’s position as favourites considering how effective they’ve been against Sassuolo this season. They recorded several decisive victories this season alone, with their positive record spread across multiple leagues.

The visitors have to contend with several injuries. Domenico Berardi, Cristian Volpato, Jeremy Toljan, Daniel Boloca are the players that will be missing, which makes the Sassuolo lineup somewhat weaker than usual. This is made far worse because they were considered undergods going in either way.

For better or worse, the Under 3.5 Goals is possible the best course of action for this match. It’s not exactly an exciting offer and the returns can’t be called amazing, but the value is strong enough to warrant a quick punt.
