Atalanta vs Sassuolo Prediction 17.02.2024

• Competition: Serie A
• Date: 17.02.2024
• Kickoff: 19:45 UK/20:45 CEST
• Venue: Gewiss Stadium (Bergamo)

Over the past few months, Atalanta has been performing at an exceptional level, something Genoa, Lazio, Udinese and Milan have experienced first-hand. Out of their last nine games, Atalanta has dominated eight, landing them deservedly in the 4th position, which could potentially lead to a Champions League placement. Whether they’ll maintain this position depends on their ability to maintain their current momentum. Inter, Milan, and Juventus are almost guaranteed to secure the top three positions, leaving several teams vying for the fourth spot. Atalanta could potentially pull ahead with strong performances in their home games.

Sassuolo is not performing as well as they did in previous seasons. They are dangerously close to the edge, only slightly ahead of Verona and Cagliari by 1 and 2 points respectively. Although they have played one more match than these rival teams, their upcoming schedule does not bode well and there is a high risk that Sassuolo may slip below the line. Their recent performance in the last 4 Serie A matches has only yielded 1 point, which they won in the previous round against Torino. To add to their woes, Sassuolo has suffered defeats in their last 5 away games.

Atalanta vs Sassuolo pick: OVER 3.5 GOALS TOTAL

The Bergamo club managed to net 10 goals in their past three home games, with no single player particularly standing out. Lookman, however, has scored 7 goals, and there are several other strong players who can create scoring opportunities with ease. Sassuolo, on the other hand, has a poor track record, losing their past 5 games on the road and their past 8 games against Atalanta at this venue. Their history does not favor them, and their form leaves much to be desired. Evaluating player quality, it’s apparent that it leans towards the home team. We anticipate a straightforward victory filled with goals.
