Current League Standings

- Atalanta BC: Currently in 12th place, they have played 10 matches. Their record is 2 wins, an astonishing 7 draws, and only 1 loss. With 13 goals scored and a strong defence that has conceded just 8, their primary issue is converting one point into three.

Head-to-Head Analysis
Historically, matches between Atalanta and Sassuolo have been goal-filled affairs. Across their last 15 encounters, a total of 55 goals have been scored, averaging a remarkable 3.67 goals per game. While this suggests a tendency for open, attacking football, bettors should weigh this historical trend against the current season’s form. Atalanta’s recent defensive solidity and Sassuolo’s balanced scoring record indicate that this match might be tighter than previous meetings.
Our Prediction
Considering all the factors, the evidence points overwhelmingly in one direction. While Atalanta are the home favourites on paper, their form is impossible to ignore. A staggering 70% of their Serie A matches this season have ended in a draw. They are defensively solid and rarely lose, but they lack the clinical edge to finish teams off. Sassuolo is an inconsistent side, capable of getting a result but equally capable of falling to defeat, making them a risky bet away from home. The most logical outcome, based on Atalanta’s relentless trend, is another stalemate.
Our betting tip for this match is a Draw. Atalanta’s pattern of sharing the points is too strong to overlook, and the odds for this outcome typically offer excellent value.
