Atalanta are ready to welcome Sassuolo at the Gewiss Stadium: the Neroverdi will be off to Bergamo after drawing at home to Torino.
How many consecutive wins have we claimed against Sassuolo?
Atalanta’s latest six Serie A home games against Sassuolo culminated in as many wins. Twice before in the Italian top flight have the Nerazzurri registered a longer domestic winning streak against the same opponent: namely, the seven victories clinched against Bologna in the 2013-2021 span and the eight back-to-back triumphs against Livorno between 1947 and 2014. With an accumulated tally of 18 goals in the aforementioned six clashes, Atalanta averaged at least 2 goals per game. Yet again, only twice before have the Nerazzurri brought about a better domestic run: namely, the seven games played against Napoli between 1937 and 1952 and Cagliari (also amounting to seven) between 1992 and 2007.
Djimsiti scored his last Serie A home goal against the Neroverdi: when?
Djimsiti scored his last Serie A goal at the Gewiss Stadium on June 21 2020, against Sassuolo no less: in the 4-1 win it was none other than the Albanian defender who broke the deadlock. Still, while Djimsiti scored several goals within the Gewiss Stadium premises since then, he hasn’t returned to scoring ways in the league since then: among others, the Coppa Italia quarter-finals against Lazio in 2021 and, moving on to the Europa League, the quick-fire brace against Olympiacos within 2 minutes and the winning goal against Sturm Graz back in November.
The highlights of Atalanta’s 4-1 walkover against Sassuolo are available below.
With 3 goals scored, the Emilani are CDK’s favourite victims in Italy. How about his past count?
De Ketelaere found his scoring ways in the two clashes played against Sassuolo thus far this season: after embellishing his first minutes for Atalanta with the opener in the Serie A maiden match played in Reggio Emilia, came the brace in the Coppa Italia RO16 tie at the Gewiss Stadium. During his career thus far, only twice has Charles scored 2+ goals against the same opponent, with both victims dating back to his days in the Belgian League: namely, the SV Zulte Waregem, with four goals scored in five games, and Genk, also with a tally of four goals but in 9 clashes. Moreover, Charles bagged three goals against Gent and Oud-Heverlee Leuven.
