Atalanta vs Sassuolo Preview
Atalanta open their Serie A campaign under Raffaele Palladino at the Gewiss Stadium, where their record offers genuine encouragement. La Dea have been undefeated in eight of their last ten league matches on home soil, a run that contrasts sharply with a wider slump of just one win in eight across all competitions. European commitments add complexity: a Conference League play-off first leg three days prior could force rotation and test squad depth from the very first weekend.
Sassuolo travel to Bergamo sitting ninth after a decent end to last term, with three wins from their last five outings. Fabio Grosso's side will take confidence from two victories over Atalanta in recent months, including a clinical 2-1 success in March. Away form, however, remains a concern. The Neroverdi have lost six of their last twelve on the road and gone winless in eleven of thirteen away fixtures across all competitions.
The double chance backing Atalanta or a draw looks the soundest route into this fixture. At the Gewiss Stadium, Palladino's side have been unbeaten in eight of their last ten Serie A outings, a record that underpins the home price at 1.53. Sassuolo's dreadful away form, winless in eleven of their last thirteen on the road, makes a visitors' triumph difficult to envisage.
Atalanta's broader form across all competitions has been patchy, with only one win in their last eight matches, and Conference League commitments either side of this fixture raise legitimate fatigue concerns. That tempers confidence in a straight home win. A draw remains plausible at 4.33, giving the double chance its appeal as a safety net.
Sassuolo under Fabio Grosso showed clinical finishing in both victories over Atalanta last season, so dismissing them entirely would be unwise. Still, replicating that away from home, given their wretched travel record, is another matter. The 1X double chance at the Gewiss Stadium represents the value pick here, covered by the home odds at 1.53.

Low confidence
Both lineups carry a speculated status ahead of this Serie A opener, with Forebet projections forming the basis of each side's probable shape. Atalanta set up in a 3-4-2-1 against Sassuolo's 4-3-3, a contest that pits Gian Piero Gasperini's compact defensive block against a Neroverdi midfield anchored by the experienced Nemanja Matic.
For Atalanta, Nikola Krstović leads the line with Pašalić and Zalewski operating in the creative pockets behind him, offering fluid movement that could trouble Sassuolo's back four. Given the speculative nature of both selections, managers may yet shuffle their respective XIs before kickoff, so treat these configurations as informed approximations rather than certainties.
