"Although the Neroverdi might have opened up February with a 5-0 drumming at the hands of leading title contenders Inter Milan, the Black and Greens have come skyrocketing up the Serie A standings. Suddenly getting this weekend's fixtures underway with scrapping it out in the top-half of the table, the former Lyon boss should find the mood in his camp at a red-hot high."
"Mounting what was an iconic Champions League comeback earlier in the week, Atalanta will find their confidence at a red-hot high. Eventually edging past German giants Borussia Dortmund following a sensational 4-3 aggregate win, La Dea will travel to the Mapei Stadium this weekend looking to make another statement."
"Likewise, clinching a stellar 2-1 victory against reigning Italian champions Napoli last weekend, Raffaele Palladino's side have won five of their previous six appearances across all competitions. Knowing that they could move within touching distance of the top-four this weekend, Atalanta should also be excited by their clinical performances in the final third."
Atalanta faces Sassuolo at the Mapei Stadium in a Serie A matchup featuring two in-form sides. Sassuolo, managed by Fabio Grosso, has experienced a remarkable resurgence, winning four of their last five Serie A matches and climbing into the top half of the table. Despite an early February loss to Inter Milan, the Neroverdi demonstrated dominance with a 3-0 home victory against Verona. Atalanta arrives with exceptional momentum, having secured a Champions League comeback against Borussia Dortmund and a 2-1 win over Napoli. La Dea has won five of their last six matches across all competitions and maintains clinical finishing in the final third, positioning themselves to move closer to the top four.
