Latest news
Sassuolo Calcio
📣 Sassuolo head coach Fabio Grosso shared his thoughts on the 3-0 victory over Verona: "I was really impressed with the team's desire to play as a cohesive unit. This is a very high level considering where we are. I'm proud of this group."
🚫 Sassuolo are facing some squad issues. The participation of Edoardo Pieragnolo and Fali Candé is doubtful as both are recovering from muscle injuries. Sebastian Walukiewicz will miss the match due to an accumulation of yellow cards. Daniel Boloca will be out for a longer period, as the Romanian is recovering from a meniscus injury and is expected to return to the field only by mid-May.
Atalanta
📣 Atalanta's head coach Raffaele Palladino reflected on their 4-1 victory over Borussia: "This was the most beautiful match of my coaching career. I want to thank the players, staff, club, and fans. It's an achievement that will go down in the history of Italian football."
🚫 Atalanta are relatively untroubled by injuries. Giacomo Raspadori is expected to return from a muscle injury by mid-March. However, Charles De Ketelaere will be sidelined much longer as he recovers from a knee injury, with a return anticipated by the end of March.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Atalanta are particularly dangerous after the break, having scored in the second half in 6 of their last 7 away Serie A matches. The Bergamo side have no issues creating chances. In this context, betting on Atalanta to score in the second half seems reasonable, especially considering their recent performances against Napoli (2-1) and Borussia (4-1), where the "Queen of the Provinces" netted twice after halftime.
🚩 Corner Prediction
For those interested in set-piece wagers, we suggest under 9.5 corners: this bet has come through in 7 of Atalanta's last 8 matches. It's also worth noting that in their first-round encounter, the teams combined for just five corners in 90 minutes (4-1 in favor of Atalanta).
Editorial Prediction
According to bookmakers, Atalanta are considered favorites for this clash, which is understandable given their performance under the new coaching staff. However, the Bergamo side played an energy-draining Champions League match against Borussia (4-1) midweek, where they had to overcome a two-goal deficit from the first leg (0-2), so freshness might be a factor here. Sassuolo are also in good form and will have the backing of their home crowd, adding another layer of unpredictability to the match. Therefore, a bet on both teams to score (yes) seems prudent, considering the attacking potential of both sides. Nonetheless, we still anticipate a 2-1 victory for the visitors.
