Sassuolo Team News
This will be Sassuolo’s 11th consecutive season in Serie A. The team from Reggio Emilia has mostly occupied a mid-table position, but the previous season brought a slight decline, resulting in a 13th-place finish with 45 points from 38 played matches. Nevertheless, they managed to maintain a safe distance of 14 points from the relegation zone.
In the previous season, Sassuolo’s defense proved to be the weakest aspect of the team. The Neroverdi conceded as many as 61 goals, which was the fifth-worst performance in the league. It’s worth mentioning that Sassuolo participated in the highest number of matches in the Italian league that ended with three or more goals.
On the other hand, their offensive capability comes to the forefront, evident from their impressive record of scoring at least one goal in 11 out of the last 12 matches across various competitions. Therefore, we believe that they will easily find a way to the opponent’s net on Sunday as well.
Atalanta Team News
In recent years, Atalanta has predominantly been positioned in the upper ranks of the Serie A standings. In the previous season, they secured the fifth place with 64 points from 38 played matches, coming just six points short of the position that grants entry to the Champions League.
It’s worth noting that Gian Piero Gasperini’s team held a firm grip on the fourth spot on the table with just five rounds to go in the competition. However, a slightly weaker performance towards the end of the season led to a drop to the fifth place, earning them a spot in the group stage of the Europa League.
In one particular aspect, Atalanta displayed exceptional dominance, achieving the highest average number of goals scored per match in Serie A, netting a remarkable three goals per match. In the preseason, their matches also resulted in a high number of goals, as evidenced by six out of seven friendly matches concluding with more than 2.5 goals scored.
