Competition: Serie A
Market: Goal to be scored in both halves
Odds: 4/5 @ 1xBet
Turing their attention back to Serie A action on Sunday afternoon, Atalanta will travel to the Mapei Stadium when they meet a resurgent Sassuolo.
Starting with the hosts, while Sassuolo might open Sunday’s showdown pencilled in as a real underdog contender, Fabio Grosso’s side are enjoying what has become a real flurry. Although the Neroverdi might have opened up February with a 5-0 drumming at the hands of leading title contenders Inter Milan, the Black and Greens have come skyrocketing up the Serie A standings. Suddenly getting this weekend’s fixtures underway with scrapping it out in the top-half of the table, the former Lyon boss should find the mood in his camp at a red-hot high. Last seen putting in a dominant display as they cruised their way to a thumping 3-0 victory at home against Verona, Sassuolo have won four of their previous five Serie A appearances and they are enjoying their most fruitful spell of the 2025/26 campaign. Signing off January with an action-packed 3-1 win away at Pisa, Sunday’s hosts are more than capable of asking some serious questions this weekend.
As for the visitors, mounting what was an iconic Champions League comeback earlier in the week, Atalanta will find their confidence at a red-hot high. Eventually edging past German giants Borussia Dortmund following a sensational 4-3 aggregate win, La Dea will travel to the Mapei Stadium this weekend looking to make another statement. Likewise, clinching a stellar 2-1 victory against reigning Italian champions Napoli last weekend, Raffaele Palladino’s side have won five of their previous six appearances across all competitions. Knowing that they could move within touching distance of the top-four this weekend, Atalanta should also be excited by their clinical performances in the final third. Extending on their Coppa Italia adventure on February 5th thanks to a stellar 3-0 victory against Juventus, Sunday’s guests have notched at least a pair of goals in five of their previous six victories. It should also be highlighted, Palladino’s men have not suffered a single Serie A defeat away from the New Balance Arena since the start of December.
