This Wednesday, two Serie A competitors, Atalanta and Sassuolo, will face off at Gewiss Stadium in a battle for a quarter-final spot.

Atalanta vs Sassuolo Betting Tips: BTTS
There’s no doubt that there is a noticeable difference in quality between Atalanta and their rivals, particularly when considering Atalanta’s ease playing on their home turf. However, eliminating Sassuolo from the national cup will not be an easy task. Additionally, Atalanta, the team from Bergamo, must not underestimate Alessio Dionisi’s team under any circumstances, especially considering that in September, they caused a major upset in Italy by defeating the two top Scudetto contenders, Inter (with a 2-1 score) and Juventus (with a 4-2 score), within a span of four days.
Gasperini’s Dea seems to have regained its goal-scoring prowess, scoring at least three goals in three of its last four victories across all tournaments. Like their Serie A colleagues, the team in black and green has also creatively demonstrated their skill in front of the opponent’s goal, scoring with ease. However, their offense cannot compensate for any defensive weaknesses, as evidenced by conceding two or more goals in seven of their last eight Serie A matches.
When Atalanta and Sassuolo clash, we’re guaranteed plenty of goals and expansive football, as evidenced by their historical faceoffs at the Gewiss Stadium. All their previous 10 head-to-head matches witnessed successive goals from both teams. As both teams eye a spot in the Coppa Italia quarter-finals, we anticipate that the trend of ‘Both Teams To Score’ (BTTS) will persist in this enticing match on Bergamo’s turf.

Atalanta team news
Knowing that his team is expecting a tough visit from Roma at the Stadio Olimpico, coach Gian Piero Gasperini could decide to make a few rotations in his squad for the Coppa Italia clash.
Former first-choice goalkeeper Juan Musso could step in between the sticks in place of Marco Carnesecchi, while La Dea’s attack should be led by Gianluca Scamacca and the reborn Luis Muriel, as Nigerian striker Ademola Lookman has been called up to defend his national team colors Nigeria at the 2024 Africa Cup of Nations.

Sassuolo team news
On the opposite side, the Neroverdi will visit the Gewiss Stadium in midweek without the services of Matias Vina, Uros Racic, Pedro Obiang, Gregoire Defrel, while key midfielder Daniel Botoca missed the last SA action after undergoing jaw surgery.
In any case, Sassuolo boss Alessio Dionisi should field a strong line-up, including top goalscorer Domenico Berardi, to try and pull off a shock on Bergamo soil and knock Atalanta out of the national cup.
