Both sides endured inconsistent finishes to last term, and this curtain-raiser carries extra weight for Raffaele Palladino's men, who must juggle Conference League play-off commitments either side of this match. Sassuolo, under Fabio Grosso, arrive with painful memories of relegation battles past but also the confidence of two victories over Atalanta last season. The tone for both campaigns starts here.

As things stand, Atalanta's 3-4-2-1 sets up a compact, wing-back-driven structure, while Sassuolo arrive in a more expansive 4-3-3, with Domenico Berardi expected to provide the creative spark in behind.The central midfield battle looks particularly intriguing, with Éderson and de Roon tasked with disrupting Sassuolo's three-man engine. Krstović leads the line for the hosts, and how Sassuolo's centre-backs cope with his physicality could prove decisive in what promises to be a competitive opening-weekend fixture.

Unbeaten in eight of their last ten Serie A matches at the Gewiss Stadium, Raffaele Palladino's side offer genuine security on home turf, even with Conference League fatigue a concern. Sassuolo's away form tells its own story: winless in eleven of their last thirteen on the road across all competitions. The home win at 1.53 looks short but fair, while the draw at 4.33 provides cover should rotation blunt Atalanta's edge.
