Atalanta vs. Sassuolo: Match Prediction
Atalanta tends to play offensively at home and doesn't struggle with scoring. In their last nine home Serie A matches, Atalanta failed to score only against Lazio, and in four of these games, they scored at least two goals. However, defensive issues often hinder their ability to secure maximum points: in their last 11 home league matches, the team kept a clean sheet only twice.
Sassuolo also plays attacking football and regularly scores even away from home: in their last nine away Serie A matches, they failed to score only once. However, their defensive performance leaves much to be desired: in their last 30 away league matches, the club kept a clean sheet only twice.
I expect both teams to perform effectively in attack, and my prediction is: Both teams to score – yes
