Serie A Preview

The competitive action in Serie A continues this weekend, as Atalanta look to continue their excellent run of form when they host Sassuolo. The Italian side come into this round in strong form after winning each of their last four. That run means that they sit fourth at this stage of the campaign, and they currently boast a three-point advantage over Bologna. 

Atalanta’s excellent period on the field continued last weekend, as they landed a stunning 4-1 win on the road against Genoa. Charles De Ketelaere opened the scoring in that success, before two further efforts were added in second half injury time by Davide Zappacosta and El Bilal Toure. Atalanta have been excellent in front of goal throughout the season, netting 44 times.

There is also likely to be pressure on Sassuolo this weekend, as the Italian side are in desperate need for points in their battle to avoid the drop. They come into this match sitting 17th in the standings, and they are just a point clear of the relegation spots. However, their recent form would be a huge cause for concern. 

Sassuolo come into this round having failed to win in their last four matches in the competition, while only four teams have picked up fewer victories this term. The Italian side at least ended their losing sequence in their most recent fixture in the league after playing out a 1-1 draw with Torino at home. 

Atalanta vs Sassuolo Head to Head

Atalanta have a fine record in this fixture after winning three of their last five against Sassuolo. Sassuolo have recorded two wins over the same period, but they are without an away win against their rivals since April 2014. Atalanta landed a 3-1 win in the Coppa Italia clash between the sides last month. 

Atalanta vs Sassuolo Prediction

The recent form of these sides couldn’t be more different coming into this round of matches, and that could be the biggest indicator that points to a home win. Therefore, we will be siding with a victory for Atalanta on Saturday.
