Match preview

Atalanta host Sassuolo at the Gewiss Stadium to kick off their Serie A campaign. The home side enter this fixture with positive momentum from pre-season preparations, securing victories over Athletic Club (1-0), FC Schalke 04 (3-0), and Arezzo (3-2), alongside a recent 0-0 draw against Hapoel Tel Aviv.

Sassuolo head into the encounter dealing with an extensive list of player absences. Although they recorded a 3-0 victory against Cesena in their latest fixture, previous outings saw defeats against FC Augsburg (2-3), Celta Vigo (1-4), and Trento (0-2). Furthermore, head-to-head records at Atalanta heavily favour the hosts, who have won four of the last five meetings played on their home ground.

Key factors

  • Atalanta have won 4 of their last 5 home meetings against Sassuolo across all competitions.
  • Sassuolo have extensive injury concerns, with D. Berardi, A. Pinamonti, D. Boloca, F. Cande, I. Kone, Y. Paz, and E. Pieragnolo all ruled out.
  • Atalanta are missing defensive options I. Hien, G. Scalvini, H. Ahanor, and attacker K. Sulemana through injury.
  • Historical head-to-head encounters average 2.7 goals per game, with 70% of the last 10 fixtures seeing over 2.5 goals.
