H2H Stats Matches and Previous Teams Results
Atalanta Team Overview
🔵 Ivan Juric is increasingly being mentioned among the coaches facing potential dismissal. Atalanta, a team that has consistently vied for a top-four finish, has been far from impressive this season. After ten rounds, they sit in 11th place with just 13 points and have gone six league matches without a win. Last weekend, the Bergamo side suffered their first defeat, losing 1-0 to Udinese.
⚫ However, the "Queen of the Provinces" managed to lift their spirits shortly after. On November 5, Atalanta secured an away victory against Marseille in a Champions League clash (1-0). The match was intense: the Italians missed a penalty in the 14th minute and allowed their opponents to take more shots on goal (8 compared to 15). Nevertheless, thanks to Lazar Samardzic's efforts, the visitors clinched the win in the 90th minute, ending their winless streak. Now, they need to break that streak in the league as well.

Sassuolo Calcio Team Overview
🟢 Sassuolo, on the other hand, are having a commendable season for a newcomer to the elite: they have accumulated the same 13 points, sit in 12th place, and display confident performances against more seasoned opponents. The team showcases bold, attacking football and strives to take the initiative even against more prestigious rivals.
⚫ However, their latest outing didn't go as planned. The "Neroverdi" unexpectedly fell at home to Genoa (1-2), who were at the bottom of the table at that time. The result was not a fluke: despite dominating possession (61% to 39%), Sassuolo allowed their opponents too many dangerous counterattacks. Overall, nothing critical happened, but this loss could slightly dent the team's confidence and affect their morale ahead of their trip to Bergamo.

Latest news
Atalanta
📣 After their away victory over Marseille (1-0), Atalanta's head coach Ivan Juric reflected on the match: "We played an excellent and well-executed game. We were a bit unlucky with the missed penalty and the disallowed goal, but in the end, Lazar's brilliant strike rewarded us... The conflict with Lookman? These are work-related issues. I understand his reaction-everything is resolved in the locker room. The main thing is Atalanta; it always comes first."
🚫 Atalanta still face some minor squad issues. Giorgio Scalvini is continuing his recovery from a muscle injury and might return to the field by mid-November. Mitchell Bakker (cruciate ligaments) is sidelined for an extended period, with his return expected no earlier than March 2026.
Sassuolo Calcio
📣 Following the 2-1 defeat to Genoa, Sassuolo's head coach Fabio Grosso shared his thoughts on the match: "In Serie A, if you don't play at the required level, you're bound to drop points. We could have performed much better in the first half... Towards the end, we completely controlled the game and could have won, but we ended up hurting ourselves and gifting the opponent points."
🚫 Sassuolo also have several players unavailable. Cristian Volpato is recovering from a thigh injury, with a return expected by the end of November. Filippo Romagna is sidelined for a few weeks with a calf injury. Laurits Skjelderup is dealing with a muscle issue. Edoardo Pieragnolo and Daniel Boloca are also doubtful, both experiencing physical discomfort.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Despite Atalanta's dominant head-to-head record, matches between these teams are traditionally thrilling and high-scoring affairs. The bet on both teams to score (yes) has come through in 11 of Atalanta's last 12 home games against Sassuolo, indicating a trend towards open play. This season, both teams maintain the same approach-aggressively attacking, creating numerous chances, but also making defensive errors. Therefore, we anticipate goals from both sides.
🚩 Corner Prediction
The attacking style of both teams is reflected not only in the number of goals but also in corner statistics. When such teams clash, there are plenty of chances in front of goal-over 8.5 corners has hit in 6 of the last 7 head-to-head encounters. Both teams frequently attack down the flanks and shoot from under defenders, which is why we can expect the upcoming match to feature plenty of set-piece opportunities.
Editorial Prediction
Bookmakers have pegged Atalanta as the clear favorite for the upcoming match, but it's hard to fully agree with that assessment. The "Queen of the Provinces" has been inconsistent and disorganized, securing only four wins across all competitions, two of which came in the Champions League. Sassuolo, on the other hand, have shown a more cohesive style of play, with their only notable slip-up being a loss to Como (0-3) at the end of September. Therefore, our main bet is on Sassuolo to win with a +1.5 handicap. We are venturing a prediction that the clash will end in a 1-1 draw.
