Heading into today’s Atalanta vs Sassuolo betting tips, the home side finally look as though they are sorting out their patchy domestic form. Last season, La Dea were superb in Serie A, though this term they have allowed continental competition to distract them. Gian Piero Gasperini’s men have only tasted defeat once in their last seven games overall, however, and that isolated loss came away to the irresistible force – Inter Milan. Atalanta are unbeaten in ten at the Stadio Atleti Azzurri d'Italia.

Sassuolo are languishing down in 15^th place in Serie A after sixteen matches, just three points clear of the drop zone. The cup should offer a nice distraction for Coach Giuseppe Iachini and with little expected of his team in this competition, they will enjoy taking to the field to play with less pressure than usual. The Neroverdi have lost five of their eight fixtures away from home in the league this season, though they have taken nine points on their travels compared to five at their own stadium in 2017/18.

Atalanta vs Sassuolo Prediction and Betting Advice

La Dea are strong favourites to win this last sixteen battle with bookmakers and our prediction and free Atalanta vs Sassuolo bets thinking along the same lines. Gian Piero Gasperini’s squad are generally superb at the Stadio Atleti Azzurri d'Italia, losing just once there since the summer. That loss came on the first weekend of the Serie A season to Champions League qualification hopefuls Roma.

In games against the Neroverdi, the club from Bergamo usually excel. They are unbeaten in their last seven contests against Sassuolo, winning three and drawing the other four of their meetings with them. Their most recent duel came in September when goals from Cornelius and Petagna ensured a 2-1 win for the hosts.

Giuseppe Iachini’s defence has been letting him down of late – they have only kept their opponents out twice in their last eight matches. However, with La Dea starting to really click into gear in terms of overall performances, they will almost certainly knock their struggling rivals out of the cup next week and advance to the quarter final stages. Betway’s TIM Cup football odds for today emerged as the most valuable when compared to other bookmakers’ prices, so we advise you to bet with them.

The head-to-head statistics from games between the sides in our Atalanta vs Sassuolo predictions throw up some interesting patterns and figures. In five of their last six meetings with each other, both teams have managed to get their names on the scoresheet. As we detailed above, La Dea picked up the points in their Serie A duel earlier in the season, coming out on top in a 2-1 win in Bergamo.

In April, they played out a 1-1 draw at the same venue and both league matches in the 2015/16 season finished level with each team finding the net. This season, the visitors have only kept five clean sheets in their eighteen competitive outings. Interestingly, they have the joint third worst defensive record in Serie A this year.

Gasperini’s rear guard are prone to lapses too – they have kept just two clean sheets in their last eight matches, which suggests that they will give chances to score to the opposition more often than not. When the available information is digested, backing both teams to score is an outstanding choice for inclusion in our Italian football betting predictions.
