Atalanta has not won any matches since new coach Edy Reja came at the helm of this team. Atalanta is not a team used to be fighting for EL places, it’s true, but this season is below their standards anyway. Atalanta is a team that is used to have a very good home stats, they really have great fans.
Last year they had an 11-3-5 record at home, which is very good, and this squad of Atalanta is better than last year.
The coach is also better. Colantuono was one of the weakest coaches in Serie A, if you ask me. He was also involved in a scandal, because he was seen betting on his own team’s matches. Edy Reja had good results, both in Hajduk Split and in Lazio. He is a good motivator, and knows that the most important aspect for a team in Atalanta’s position is a good defense and to win their home games.

Sassuolo plays a brand of casual football. They really are turned on when playing the big boys, 2-2 at Roma, 1-1 at home to Juve, 2-1 at Milan, 3-1 at home to Inter, but they do not give their best when playing smaller teams … like Palermo, Cagliari, Empoli. They do not have the best stats away from home, with 3 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses.
Sassuolo are pretty safe from relegation, while Atalanta are the first team above the line, with 26 points, 4 more than Cesena. So more motivation for Atalanta, that is for sure.
Atalanta home win is the bet for me on this day. Good odds on the prediction and I will bet my usual flat stake of 8 units. Good luck.
