Sassuolo Team News
It's incredbile to look at Sassuolo's last five matches and see four wins. They played four relegation candidates and Inter, and made light work of what was considered their competition to stay in Serie A before the season got going, and lost 0-5 to Inter.
Do you ever with your football team could do something like score a basketball three-pointer? Well, Sassuolo has specialized in scoring twice in the space of few minutes.
They did it in their last game against Verona where they scored in the 40th and 44th minute, and also did it the week before when they scored in Udine in the 56th and 58th minute to overturn the score to what would be the final 1-2.
Sassuolo is the only side in football that is capable of scoring two points.
Atalanta Team News
We fully expect Atalanta to continue their run and to claim one of the Champions League spots, no matter which team they have to push out to get it.
In their last six outings they played Juventus, Cremonese, Lazio, Dortmund, Napoli and Dortmund again, and won all matches except the first leg in Dortmund.
Meaning, this side has quickly grown to be able to defeat even the top sides in Serie A, and this is something we haven't seen them do even in their best periods.
They always were a team that would beat the minnows easily but would stutter in derbies. This has now changed and Atalanta looks like a serious team all of a sudden.
Probable Lineups
Sassuolo (4-3-3): Muric - Coulibaly, Idzes, Muharemovic, Garcia - Thorstvedt, Matic, Kone - Berardi, Pinamonti, Lauriente. Coach Grosso.
Atalanta (3-4-2-1): Carnesecchi - Koussonou, Djimsiti, Ahanor - Bellanova, De Roon, Ederson, Bernasconi - Pasalic, Sulemana - Krstovic. Coach Palladino.
De Ketelaere and Raspadori are the only two absentees in Atalanta, but rotation can be expected since Atalanta played three days ago against Borussia Dortmund. And won 4-1 to overturn the 0-2 from the first leg, by the way.
The Betting Market
We get 2.05 on Atalanta, which is huge, and Over 2.5 Goals for 1.90 is an equally good bet. Both Teams To Score: YES at 1.70 is the worst of the three, as Atalanta is capable of winning this one without conceding.
The Betting Verdict
Is Sassuolo as good as the odds suggest, to inflate the price on a side that is capable of beating just about anyone lately and even progress into the 1/8 finals of the Champions League?
No, despite their unique brand of football, they are not.
The odds are probably inflated because Atalanta could be tired and could rotate the squad, but that hasn't seemed to affect the results so far. So why now? Atalanta is winning this.
