Game Prediction
This time, Italy didn't particularly rest at the end of the calendar year, and the new one starts without much buildup. Starting from Tuesday, the schedule for the country's cup 1/8 finals will be completed. The match between Atalanta and Sassuolo, with two encounters, stands out the most on Wednesday. A forecast for this match on January 3, 2024, has been provided for the site's audience.
Atalanta can reasonably shift priorities from Serie A to other tournaments
“The Bergamo team” is still associated with the Champions League. Under their current coach, Gasperini, they experienced a golden period when they consistently played in the main European competition and even made it to the knockout stage. However, after the setback in 2021/2022, they never fully recovered. They failed to return to the top 4 last season, and this season, their chances of being there are even slimmer. Although they managed to end the previous calendar season with a victory by defeating Lecce 1-0. However, in the Europa League, the Italians confidently won the group. Perhaps, on their home turf, the "Goddesses" would like to take the cup more seriously?
Sassuolo will try to somehow please the fans - but can they?
"Neroverdi" haven't played in Serie A for long but have already qualified for the Europa League. There were chances to repeat this achievement under De Zerbi, but even under Roberto, they climbed no higher than eighth place. His successor, Alessio Dionisi, can only slow down the decline, but each subsequent cycle turns out worse than the previous one. One can only guess what would happen now if not for the September stretch with three wins in four rounds? It's worth mentioning that in all other Serie A matches, they earned fewer points. In the last round, they suffered another minimal defeat, this time against Milan.
Previous Matches:
Since the fall of 2021, the clubs have won strictly alternately five times. In August, Atalanta secured a 2-0 victory away.
