Match preview
Atalanta host Sassuolo at the Gewiss Stadium to kick off their Serie A campaign. The home side enter this fixture with positive momentum from pre-season preparations, securing victories over Athletic Club (1-0), FC Schalke 04 (3-0), and Arezzo (3-2), alongside a recent 0-0 draw against Hapoel Tel Aviv.
Sassuolo head into the encounter dealing with an extensive list of player absences. Although they recorded a 3-0 victory against Cesena in their latest fixture, previous outings saw defeats against FC Augsburg (2-3), Celta Vigo (1-4), and Trento (0-2). Furthermore, head-to-head records at Atalanta heavily favour the hosts, who have won four of the last five meetings played on their home ground.
