Atalanta go into this game as strong favourites to pick up another crucial win in their drive to secure Champions League qualification at the end of the season. Gian Piero Gasperini’s side have impressed on their return to action following the World Cup break, with three wins and two draws in an unbeaten run of five league games since the start of 2023.
In contrast, hosts Sassuolo have struggled for consistency on their return to Serie A duty, with a shock 5-2 victory away at Milan last weekend their first win since October 24th. That stark difference in form hints at a relatively straightforward three points on the board for Gasperini’s visitors this weekend.
Atalanta have also hit a strong goal scoring streak, with an incredible haul of 17 league goals in their last five league games – at an average rate of over three scored by Gasperini’s charges per match. Those five outings have all included over 1.5 goals scored by Atalanta, including eight put past Salernitana and three away at Juventus.
They will be confident of continuing that potency in front of goal against Alessio Dionisi’s side, who have been involved in three league matches with over 2.5 total goals scored in 2023.
Despite coming in as underdogs, Sassuolo will be at least looking to get on the score sheet at home, having found the back of the net in four from five games in January – and Atlanta have only managed one clean sheet since the end of October.
Atalanta need to improve defensively if they want to seal a top four spot this season but they should have enough to win on the road at Sassuolo.

Atalanta team news
Defensive pair Davide Zappacosta and Jose Luis Palomino are both out of action for Atalanta but Gasperini is expected to make changes to his team. Merih Demiral is edging back to full fitness and could start, with Mario Pasalic potentially brought in to bolster the midfield.
