Atalanta vs Sassuolo sees the hosts open up at a raucous Gewiss Stadium on Sunday, kicking off at 7.45pm (UK time), with Atalanta expected to make their attacking edge count.
Atalanta remain one of Serie A‘s most watchable sides and start as strong favourites against a Sassuolo team who did the double over them last season. Andy Francis has the best bets, a score prediction and the head-to-head record below.
Premium Tips
Andy expects goals in Bergamo, with Atalanta’s attacking approach the obvious starting point.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Atalanta to win, both teams to score and over 2.5 goals | 21/10 | Atalanta have been ruthless in front of goal this season and, with Sassuolo having breached their back-line twice last term, there’s little reason to expect a repeat of that defensive resilience. La Dea’s high press and quick transitions should create a stream of chances at a raucous Gewiss Stadium, while Sassuolo have shown they can find the net themselves on the counter. That combination points squarely at goals for both sides. Add in Atalanta’s superior overall quality and home advantage, and a goal-laden home win feels the most likely outcome, making the 21/10 price well worth taking. |
| Giacomo Raspadori to score anytime and Luca Lipani to be booked | 7/1 | Raspadori has the instincts of a natural poacher, drifting into the right areas and finishing efficiently whenever service arrives, and Atalanta should carve out enough openings against a stretched Sassuolo defence for him to get his customary sniff at goal. At the other end, Lipani’s job is to disrupt play through midfield, a role that invariably brings mistimed challenges and cynical fouls once his side is chasing the game. With Atalanta expected to dominate territory and force Sassuolo into a reactive shape, Lipani’s discipline is likely to be tested, making the booking a sound each-way angle alongside the anytime scorer. |

How Atalanta go into the game
Atalanta finished seventh last season on 59 points, another campaign of thrilling, front-foot football. The Gewiss Stadium is one of the most intimidating grounds in Italy, and few sides enjoy the trip.
There is a note of caution: Sassuolo actually completed a league double over them last season. Atalanta will be desperate to put that right and should have the firepower to do so at home.
How Sassuolo go into the game
Sassuolo ended last season 11th on 49 points, a respectable return after coming up. Remarkably, they beat Atalanta both home and away, including a 3-0 win in Bergamo, so they will travel without fear.
Away from home against a side of Atalanta’s attacking calibre, however, is a different examination. They will need to defend far better than most manage at the Gewiss to spring another surprise.
