Atalanta vs Sassuolo Prediction (23.08.2026)

After a good performance in the preseason preparation and the victories accumulated there, Atalanta did not start their official matches particularly convincingly. Just a few days ago, the team reached a goalless draw at home against Apoel Tel Aviv in the Conference League, which can definitely be considered a surprise. Now Atalanta faces their first match of the new season in Serie A against Sassuolo.

Sassuolo also has one official match behind them, after winning convincingly 3-0 against Cesena in the Coppa Italia. Furthermore, last season the team created serious problems for Atalanta and managed to win both encounters between them. Atalanta logically enters as the favorite, but their recent performance does not inspire complete confidence.

I expect Sassuolo to perform well again against this opponent and even have their chances to avoid defeat. For more security, however, my prediction is for a +1.5 goals handicap in favor of Sassuolo.
