Atalanta vs Sassuolo Prediction 09.11.2025 | Serie A

There is no doubt that the departure of Gian Piero Gasperini has left a significant void at Atalanta, as under Ivan Jurić’s guidance the Nerazzurri are struggling to rediscover their trademark rhythm, raising early questions over whether they can reignite a Top-4 charge — a stage they regularly occupied during the Gasperini era.

Although they stood as the only unbeaten Serie A side after nine matchdays, the reality behind that run was far less commanding, with just two victories and seven stalemates, and their invincible record was finally shattered last week in a narrow 1-0 defeat at Udinese.

However, La Dea return to domestic action with renewed belief, fuelled by a huge midweek 1-0 triumph at the Velodrome against Marseille, where super-sub Lazar Samardzić delivered a thunderbolt in the 90th minute, handing Atalanta their first win since October 30.

Centre-back Giorgio Scalvini is edging closer to a comeback but the Sassuolo clash arrives too soon, while 25-year-old midfielder Marco Brescianini remains a doubt as he continues to battle a thigh injury.

Sassuolo’s relegation from Serie A in the 2023–24 campaign abruptly ended their 11-year stay in Italy’s top flight, but the Neroverdi refused to accept stagnation in the second tier. Instead, they responded in emphatic fashion — storming to the Serie B title and securing an immediate return to the elite stage.

For any newly promoted side, the mission in year one is simple: survive and cement your place among the country’s best. So far, Sassuolo appear to be on track with that objective, having collected a respectable 13 points and currently sitting in 12th position.

A trip to Bergamo is rarely a forgiving assignment, yet Fabio Grosso’s squad travels north with confidence rather than caution, fueled by a spirited run on the road that has seen them go unbeaten in their last three away fixtures, collecting an impressive seven points in the process.

In terms of team news, Daniel Boloca and Edoardo Pieragnolo remain sidelined, while center-back Filippo Romagna has joined the treatment room with calf discomfort. Cristian Volpato, meanwhile, faces a late fitness assessment after sustaining a muscle issue during the warm-up ahead of the Genoa encounter.
