Serie A returns to the fold with another round of matches this weekend as Atalanta take on Sassuolo on Sunday. Both teams have impressive players in their ranks and will want to win this game.
Sassuolo are in 10th place in the Serie A standings and have been inconsistent so far this season. The Neroverdi suffered a narrow 2-1 defeat against Lazio last week and will need to bounce back in this fixture.
Atalanta, on the other hand, are in seventh place in the league table and have been fairly impressive this year. La Dea were held to a 1-1 draw by RB Leipzig in their previous game and will need to take it up a notch this weekend.
Sassuolo vs Atalanta Head-to-Head
Atalanta have a good record against Sassuolo and have won 15 out of 22 matches played between the two teams. Sassuolo have managed two victories against Atalanta and will need to improve their record in this fixture.
The previous meeting between the two teams took place in September last year and ended in a 2-1 victory for Atalanta. Sassuolo were poor on the day and will need to step up this weekend.

Sassuolo vs Atalanta Prediction
Atalanta can be virtually unstoppable on their day and will look to mount a late push for a top-four spot. La Dea have excellent players in their ranks but will need to be at their best against a formidable opponent.
Sassuolo are yet to hit their stride this season and will need to play out of their skins this weekend. Atalanta have been the better team this season and should be able to win this game.
