LiontipsSassuolo vs Atalanta. Prediction and Betting Tips for Serie A (May 2, 2021).
Command Analysis
The Neroverdi are still trying to get into the European zone. The team has gained good form lately as they are currently on a four-win streak, which has brought it closer to seventh place in Serie A.
Sassuolo played really well in the matches against Benevento (1:0), Fiorentina (3:1), Milan (2:1) and Sampdoria (1:0). The club approached each of these games responsibly and deservedly won all of them, earning 12 points.
Roberto De Zerbi's charges are three points behind Roma and have something to strive for, especially with just five more rounds before the end of the season. The upcoming game against Atalanta promises to be extremely tense, as pretty much anything can be expected from one of the leaders.
Already last season, the team had demonstrated solid football and it was noticeable that they were not going to stop there. The manager has found a good balance between defense and attack, and now his club is second in the Serie A standings.
Atalanta have been on fire, they have not lost in six games. In the previous round, the team showed what a really excellent performance is when they crushed Bologna and scored five goals while keeping a clean sheet.
Gian Piero Gasperini's squad understands that it is unlikely that they will be able to win gold medals, although silver is also a wonderful result, given the competition in Serie A. But to get that, they need to stay at the current level.

Tip and bets
Both teams are now at their peak, so it is difficult to choose a winner between the two. Of course, Sassuolo will try to put pressure on the opponents from the first minutes, because they will play at home, but everyone knows how dangerous Atalanta is now, especially on counterattacks. The head-to-head is in favor of the guests and we expect the club from Bergamo to continue their streak.
Our prediction is a handicap (-1) to Atalanta.
Rafael Toloi and his team know how to play open football and have been scoring a lot lately, but we get the impression that this time it will be more difficult for Atalanta. The Neroverdi know when to go back and when to speed up. In our opinion, in the game against one of the leaders, the hosts might choose to park the bus, so we suggest betting on total under.
Second wager - Total Under 4 Goals.
