Atalanta to Win<\/strong><\/td>\n7\/5 @ Bet365<\/a>
(41.7%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nWe are backing Atalanta to win because they’ve won 11 of the last 16 against Sassuolo, including the last three meetings by a combined 8-0 margin. Their attacking stats (36 goals, 44 big chances created) and superior ball control (54% average possession) point to a side that reliably imposes itself on this fixture.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Domenico Berardi Anytime Goalscorer<\/strong><\/td>\n2\/1 @ SkyBet<\/a>
(33.3%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nWe are backing Berardi to score because he is Sassuolo’s top scorer (7 goals) and boasts a 40% shot accuracy\u2014better than anyone else on the pitch. He has scored in big games before and will be heavily involved, especially if Sassuolo chase the game.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
