Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Sunday’s Serie A game at Mapei Stadium pits together Sassuolo and Atalanta, the two teams with attacking styles of play. The Neroverdi were scoring goals for fun in preseason, with the team outplaying Cosenza 5-2 in Coppa Italia and we are positive that they will find the net in the season opener. Defender Ruan is banned for the match, while midfielder Agustin Alvarez is struggling with an ACL injury. Summer signing Daniel Boloca is likely to make his Serie A debut against the Orobici.
Atalanta, on the other hand, played out a goalless draw with Juventus in their last warm-up game, but given their attacking potential, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. The club chiefs have added the likes of Gianluca Scamacca and El Bilal Toure in the summer transfer window, while Rasmus Hojlund and Jeremie Boga joined Manchester United and Nice respectively. Keep in mind that Atalanta defender Hans Hateboer is sidelined with an ACL injury, while forward Nicolo Cambiaghi misses out through suspension.
Highlighted Player (Domenico Berardi):
Once one of the most promising young players in Serie A, Domenico Berardi is the Italian footballer that plays for Sassuolo and the Italy national team. Born in Cairati, Calabria, the forward begun his professional career back in 2012, when he helped the Neroverdi win Serie B and play in Serie A next season and was named as the best player of the competition, only 18 years of age.
He made his first appearance for the Italy U19 national team in the same season. His excellent performances draw the attention of Juventus and the Old Lady confirmed in the beginning of the Season 2013/14 that Domenico Berardi joined the club on a co-ownership deal.
The player never played for Juventus because he remained in Sassuolo and he recently signed a new contract with the Neroverdi. The 24-year-old right winger, who can also play as a left winger and a second striker, made his first appearance in the senior national team in June 2018.
