The late match in the Saturday Serie A schedule puts Atalanta and Sassuolo against each other. When one thinks of both teams it is only natural to think of goals and exciting football. Neither have disappointed in that regard as their games are usually goal-rich and entertaining for a neutral spectator.
Atalanta Team News
Hosts Atalanta enter the game in splendid form and occupying one of the Champions League spots. Hot on their tail are Bologna, who won their last game with Fiorentina during midweek. La Dea have won all of their lat 4 Serie A games but what is most impressive is that in each of those 4 wins they scored at least 2 goals and kept 2 clean sheets. If we look at the average we will see 3.5 goals on average scored by Atalanta in this span. Another interesting fact is that a lot of those goal were scored during the first halves of their games – 1 against Genoa, 2 versus Udinese and Lazio and 3 with Frosinone.
Sassuolo Team News
It hasn’t exactly been a stellar season for Sassuolo thus far, as they are just above the relegation line. Resent form points to a sub-par performance too – 3 losses, a win and a draw. The team failed to score in two of those five games and conceded 9 goals in total or an average of 1.8 goals per game. On the road, performances have been nothing short of abysmal as I Neroverdi have lost their last 4 consecutive trips. In fact their last away win came in November. In their last 5 away games, Sassuolo conceded 10 goals or 2 games on average. They have also failed to score in 3 of those 5 fixtures.
Head-to-Head-Games
One thing we will not see in the recent head-to-head between Atalanta and Sassuolo are draws. There has been a winner in all of the last 5 meetings from all competitions – 3 wins for Atalanta and 2 for Sassuolo. Three of those games featured over 2.5 goals and goals from both teams. As hosts Atalanta have won the last 8 consecutive games against Sassuolo from all competitions.
Atalanta – Sassuolo Betting Prediction
The common theme between these two teams is goals. Atalanta seems to score a lot, Sassuolo is prone to conceding, but also scores here and there. As hosts, however, Atalanta have Sassuolo’s number. Thus, my pick here would be for Atalanta to win and the game to have over 2.5 goals.
