Atalanta vs SassuoloPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Opening weekend of Serie A for Atalanta, hosting Sassuolo after a pre-season with three wins, a draw and just one defeat, against Feyenoord. Sassuolo, on the other hand, picked up three losses in their last five friendlies, including a 4-1 defeat to Celta Vigo and a 2-0 loss at Trento. Looking at the five most recent meetings, Atalanta lead three to two over Sassuolo, although the latest clash, last March, went the way of the visitors, who won 2-1. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
