Final score: Atalanta 2–1 Sassuolo

Match preview

Serie A kicks off for Atalanta and Sassuolo on August 23rd, 2026, with Atalanta hoping to leverage their impressive home record against a Sassuolo side known for springing surprises. Atalanta finished last season with 14 wins, 12 draws, and 7 losses, netting 45 goals while conceding a league-best 29. Their recent form is solid, with two wins, two draws, and one loss in their last five outings. Sassuolo, meanwhile, concluded with 13 wins, 6 draws, and 14 losses, scoring 41 but conceding 44. Their recent five-game run shows two wins, one draw, and two losses, indicating a more inconsistent streak.

The H2H record provides a fascinating backdrop. Despite Atalanta's overall superior season, Sassuolo has managed to upset them recently, including a dominant 3-0 away victory and a 2-1 home win in their last two encounters. However, Atalanta has also delivered strong performances, like their own 3-0 and 3-1 wins. With the bookmakers heavily favoring Atalanta at home (1.586), and a 50% win probability for the hosts, the expectation is for Gasperini’s men to start strong. Sassuolo’s 0% win probability in the odds is a stark reminder of the challenge they face. Goals are anticipated, with Over 2.5 priced at 1.75, suggesting an open game. Keep an eye on Atalanta's disciplined defence against Sassuolo's counter-attacking threats.
