Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Atalanta will be aiming to extend their winning run in the Serie A to five games when they take on Sassuolo in the Serie A round 25. The Orobici have been scoring goals for fun of late and we are positive that they will adopt yet another attack-minded approach against the Neroverdi. The good news for the hosts is that Nigeria forward Ademola Lookman is back from international duty, while midfielder Ederson is back from suspension.
The visitors, on the other hand, failed to win the previous four league matches. As Sassuolo are on a four-game losing run in the Italian top flight, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Atalanta. You should bear in mind that Atalanta emerged triumphant in each of the previous eight meetings with Sassuolo (all competitions) in Bergamo. Both Volpato and Toljan remain in the recovery room, while Berardi and Obiang are rated doubtful for the match.
