Atalanta will look to maintain their unbeaten run in Serie A when they host Sassuolo at the Gewiss Stadium in their Matchday 10 tie on Saturday.
Atalanta remains among the only two unbeaten sides in Serie A this season. They have won six and drawn three of the opening nine and sit second, two points behind Napoli at the summit.
A 2-2 draw with an impressive Udinese side at away last time out, is the cause of the two point gap between Atalanta and the Napoli. They will look to quickly bounce back and having gone unbeaten in their last nine meetings with Sassuolo at home, La Dea should fancy their chances.
Sassuolo meanwhile have made an inconsistent start to the campaign, winning three, drawing three and losing three of their opening nine matches, that why they sit around the mid-table.
A 2-1 home defeat to Inter Milan ended their back-to-back victories in Serie A that saw Gian Gasperini’s side win 1-0 at Torino before taking Salernitana apart in the 5-0 demolition at home. They will now be looking to bounce back to winning ways on Saturday, but they will need to be at the top of their game to come away with something.
