Our prediction for this Coppa Italia match:
A place in the Coppa Italia quarter-finals will be at stake when Atalanta and Sassuolo go head to head at Gewiss Stadium on Wednesday evening. The Orobici quickly bounced back from a 1-0 loss to Bologna, with the team beating Lecce thanks to Ademola Lookman’s goal, but they do not want to stop now. Atalanta have big ambitions for the Italian Cup as well and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach against the Neroverdi.
Both Hans Hateboer and Jose Luis Palomino are sidelined with injuries, while Rafael Toloi and El Bilal Toure are major doubts. Sassuolo, on the other hand, are on a five-game winless run in the Serie A and given their shaky defence, we predict that Atalanta are going to advance to the Coppa Italia quarter-finals. All Daniel Boloca, Gregoire Defrel, Uros Racic, Matias Vina, and Pedro Mba Obiang are out of contention with injuries.
