Atalanta will be looking to return to the win column against the improving Sassuolo this Saturday evening with the Bergamo side now out of the Coppa Italia and down into fourth in this incredible race in Serie A's European spots.
Atalanta lost 1-0 to Inter Milan in the Coppa Italia quarter-finals, as the Bergamo outfit had just three shots on target that day. Nevertheless, they were on a very healthy run just prior to this after also smashing Spezia 5-2 in the Coppa Italia.
Atalanta drew 3-3 with Juventus in Turin two weeks back as well, with Ademola Lookman scoring another brace in a sensational season for him so far - Joakim Maehle also scored that day with all three goals coming inside 53 minutes for the club.
Lookman netted again in his sensational season, as he is now on 12 goals after an effort against Spezia which also saw Maehle score once again.
Lookman now has 12 goals and three assists in 19 games for Atalanta and is only behind Victor Osimhen in the goalscoring charts by two goals and the Englishman is also ahead of Lautaro Martinez by two goals as well.
Gian Piero Gasperini's men will come into the game off the back of two points to make up in the race for second. No side is going to catch Napoli this campaign, so the club will be in search of taking over Inter in the table this season with Inter facing off against AC Milan this weekend.
The Bergamo side have won 11 games so far, lost just four and scored the most goals in the league after the top two with 39 goals scored.
Sassuolo, however, head into this game off the back of their best win of the season that now leaves them with great hope in terms of staying in Serie A.
Stunningly, the club won 5-2 at the San Siro in what was one of the best-ever wins in the Italian top flight. Gregoire Defrel and Davide Frattesi scored inside two minutes of one another in the first half, before Domenico Berardi scored in the first half as well.
Sassuolo are sitting ahead of Hellas Verona in 18th by seven points and they will start to get really confident in staying up if they can register a win here.
Forebet predicts a win for Atalanta, however, and for the game to see over 2.5 goals.
