H2H: Sassuolo vs. Atalanta – Score prediction (28.09.2019)

Overview.

In turn, Sassuolo have kept a first-half clean sheet in five of their last six SA home games, including two this season.

Combined, those five games have averaged 3.6 goals per-match.

The visitors, by contrast, are a team that flourish late on. Currently on a three-match unbeaten run in the league, Atalanta have scored nine of their 11 SA goals in the second half.
