In the lead up to this week’s expert Sassuolo vs Atalanta betting tips, the home side have won just one of their last six and though that solitary victory was an impressive single goal triumph over big hitters Inter a month ago, it will worry Manager Giuseppe Iachini that they haven’t won since. The Neroverdi have been particularly poor when playing at the Mapei Stadium-Città del Tricolore this season and have won just two of their ten Serie A fixtures there.

Atalanta lost narrowly 1-0 to league leaders Napoli at the weekend and though the final result was a disappointing one, the closeness of the contest showed the high level that La Dea are currently playing at. The defeat was just their second in twelve matches over all, so confidence in Gian Piero Gasperini’s squad should remain high ahead of their trip to the province of Modena. Their loss to Napoli was the first time Gasperini’s men had failed to score in a game since mid-November.

Sassuolo vs Atalanta Prediction and Betting Advice

As we pointed out earlier, the home team have won just one of their last five fixtures and though they took four points from recent games against Inter and Roma, subsequently dropped points against Genoa and Torino spell out just what an inconsistent team they are in 2017/18.

This fixture’s head-to-head record provided plenty of interesting statistical information for our Sassuolo vs Atalanta bets. La Dea have won this contest in three of the last four encounters with the Neroverdi, including a recent 2-1 win in the Copa Italia just before Christmas. That day Andreas Cornelius and a Rafael Toloi goal did the damage.

The club from Bergamo are actually unbeaten in the last eight incarnations of this contest and we have to travel all the way back to April 2014 to find the last victory for Sassuolo in this tie. Under Gasperini, Atalanta have become one of Serie A’s most formidable outfits and I expect them to flex their muscles at the Mapei Stadium-Città del Tricolore this weekend.

Once again, this fixture’s historical record was packed full of fascinating data all of which had a huge pull on our Sassuolo vs Atalanta predictions. When our featured clubs do battle, each side tends to get their name on the scoresheet. In fact, in six of their last seven meetings, both teams scored at least once.

The sides have already played twice in 2017/18, once in Serie A and once in the Copa Italia and though La Dea came out on top in both clashes, the Neroverdi managed to score in both games. On an individual level, Giuseppe Iachini’s players have only failed to score once in their last seven attempts.

La Dea have only drawn a blank once in their last twelve, though with just one clean sheet at the back in their last eight, it’s clear they leave the door open at the back in most games. Iachini’s defence has stopped their opponents from scoring just twice in fourteen, so the potential for goals at both end this weekend looks high.
