Thanks to this strong run, Fabio Grosso's side have climbed to ninth in the standings on 35 points after 26 rounds. Across the season as a whole, the club have produced typical mid-table numbers: 32 goals scored and 35 conceded from the same 26 matches.

Atalanta
Despite Atalanta's impressive run, which has now stretched to nine straight matches with points, the team have not taken their foot off the gas.

After 26 matches played, the team sit seventh in the standings on 45 points. The gap to the Champions League places remains manageable, so their chances of finishing in the top four still look very realistic.

Sassuolo vs Atalanta: Match Prediction
Sassuolo are in good form right now and have clearly improved their results, taking maximum points from the last two rounds. Over the course of the season, though, they remain a solid mid-table side: after 26 matches the club have 35 points and sit ninth. Scoring 32 and conceding 35 reflects their style well: they play proactively going forward and can score in different ways, but they regularly allow chances at the back. It is also important to note that, on home soil in this league campaign, Fabio Grosso's men have beaten only one team from the top half of the standings – a Lazio side who are having a disastrous season.
Atalanta look more cohesive and consistent. They are on a nine-match unbeaten run in the league (seven wins, two draws). After 26 rounds, Atalanta sit seventh on 45 points and retain a realistic chance of closing in on the Champions League places, which adds motivation for every match. A major positive in their current form is their ability to ride out difficult spells and then raise their level, sustaining pressure and creating waves of chances. In terms of class and consistency across the campaign, the edge is also with the visitors.
Sassuolo come into this one in good rhythm and can cause problems at home, but taking everything into account, Atalanta look the more reliable side, so we expect the visitors to avoid defeat at the very least.
