Atalanta vs Sassuolo Predictions

• Atalanta have won 10 of the last 13 meetings between these two
• La Dea have won their last four games by a two-goal margin or better
• Sassuolo have lost their last five away trips, including a 3-1 defeat here in the cup

Atalanta to cruise to victory

These two sides are at opposite ends of the table, with fourth-placed Atalanta heavy favourites to see off a Sassuolo side who have sunk to fourth-bottom. The visitors have lost each of their last five away trips – which includes a 3-1 loss at Atalanta in the cup – which has made them underdogs for this trip.

Meanwhile, Atalanta have been in flying form with five wins on the bounce. Since beating AC Milan 2-1 away from home in mid-January la Dea have won four straight games by a two-goal margin or greater, while 10 of their 13 Serie A wins this season have come by two goals or more.

Atalanta have won to nil in three of their last four home league games and they meet a Sassuolo side who are looking blunt going forward. On top of that, the visitors have shipped 2.17 goals per away game this season, while they’ve lost 10 of their last 13 encounters with Atalanta in Serie A.

The hosts should prove too strong in this one, so back them with a -1 handicap.
