On Saturday night, Atalanta will look to continue their excellent start to the new Serie A campaign as they welcome Sassuolo to the GEWISS Stadium.
Gian Piero Gasperini’s team is currently in second place in the Serie A table, just two points adrift of Serie A leader Napoli at the top.
A 2-2 draw at fellow high-fliers Udinese means that the Nerazzurri are unbeaten in their nine games in the Italian top-flight.
The draw in Udine ended a run of low-scoring games in Serie A for Atalanta, as their previous four league games had all produced under 2.5 goals.
Atalanta has a somewhat mixed home record of late in Serie A. Although they are unbeaten in their last four home league matches, the Nerazzurri have also won just three of their last 15 Serie A games on home soil.
They have also kept one clean sheet in their previous nine league games at the GEWISS Stadium.
The Neroverdi have experienced a highly inconsistent league campaign so far this season. The visitors have taken 12 points from their nine matches in Serie A. Their 2-1 home defeat by Inter last time out ended a promising two-game winning run in the Italian top flight for Alessio Dionisi’s team.
Sassuolo’s recent record of four wins in their last 14 matches in the Italian top flight is certainly an underwhelming one.
The Neroverdi have a mixed recent away record in Serie A. They are unbeaten in their previous three away games in the Italian top flight but have won just two of their last nine matches on their travels in Serie A.
Forebet predicts that Atalanta will continue their good form this season by recording a victory in a low-scoring clash.
