The race for Europe is set to be a key feature of the Serie A run-in and these Sassuolo vs. Atalanta predictions offer an insight on the latest picture. Atalanta are in the running for a Europa League spot but Sassuolo look set to stay in mid table.
Sassuolo vs. Atalanta odds
1 – A draw – 14/5
2 – Over 2.5 total goals – 11/20
3 – Sassuolo over 1.5 total goals – 5/4
4 – BTTS – Yes – 1/2
5 – A 2-2 draw – 11/1
Both sides head into this game on the back of a solid run of form in Serie A action and it is difficult to pick a clear favourite, despite the visitors pushing for Europe. Sassuolo have revitalised themselves in recent weeks with 13 points in their last six league games, including big wins against Inter, Fiorentina, Spezia and Venezia.
On the opposite side, Atalanta have four points from their last three league matches, and they have won three of their last four games away from home in all competitions. Sassuolo have an edge, but Atalanta have more on the line and that could cancel the two teams out in this tie.
With both teams looking upwards in the final few weeks of the campaign, they have also hit a positive run of goalscoring. Sassuolo have scored 17 goals in their last seven games, with a total of over 2.5 goals in their last five matches.
Atalanta are also finding the back of the net with ease across all competitions, with 10 goals in their last seven games in Serie A and the Europa League. The home side again have a slight advantage in terms of scoring goals, with 17 compared to 10, and Cristian Bucchi’s side have scored more than once inside 90 minutes in six of their last seven outings.
Both teams look certain to score at the Mapei Stadium. Their respective defensive records leave a lot to be desired, with no clean sheet for Sassuolo in five games and six conceded, while Atalanta have shipped five in five.
Despite neither team drawing many games recently, they look evenly matched at both ends of the pitch, and this clash should be a goal-filled encounter.
