Atalanta-Sassuolo on the pitch at 20:45 for the third advance on Saturday of the tenth day of Serie A
Eve
Having lost the top of the standings but not the team balance, perhaps a little upside down on Sunday in Udine after the first changes with a consequent lowering of the center of gravity, Atalanta in the Birthday Match with Sassuolo inaugurates the streak from here to the break for the World Cup with certainty of having to take full advantage of the field factor.
If Saturday evening with the neroverdi is celebrated with the special edition jersey, awaited at the charity auction, the company birthday number 115 which actually falls on October 17, for Gasperini's team is the beginning of the path of truth that from now to the fifteenth day will have Lazio, Napoli and Inter as obstacles plus Empoli and Lecce outside Bergamo.
Gasperini, returned to the silence of the eve already observed consecutively with Verona, Turin and Monza, for the occasion recovers Djimsiti,
stopped by the clash due to a fracture in the left fibula with Origi of Milan on the second day.
An expert defender in view of the high-ranking commitments, not always dealt with with 2001 Okoli and 2003 Scalvini, the latter set back only for the emergency (out also the suspended Palomino and, for a couple of weeks, Toloi) because the coach sees him better in the median.
