Prediction and betting odds analysis for Atalanta vs Sassuolo at 18:30 on November 9, Round 11 of Serie A

However, the departure of Gasperini means the team is still adjusting to Juric’s strict, disciplined, but somewhat rigid style. Scamacca is expected to be the attacking pillar, while Samardzic could be the game-changer with his inventive play. Home advantage at Gewiss Stadium is significant, especially against an opponent that often struggles away from home.

Sassuolo, led by coach Fabio Grosso, have shown a promising face since their return to Serie A. Nevertheless, their 1-2 defeat to Genoa last round revealed a major flaw: lack of focus in crucial moments.

Sassuolo’s attacking trio Pinamonti - Laurienté - Berardi is capable of inflicting damage, particularly on swift counterattacks. Yet, their defense is not very solid, frequently exposing spaces behind the attacking full-backs.

With key players like Boloca and Romagna injured, Sassuolo’s defensive capabilities from the Emilia-Romagna side could be heavily exploited by Atalanta. Sassuolo will aim to play cautiously, concede possession, and wait for chances, but this also means they may be pinned back and struggle to resist continuous pressure from their opponents.
