The Serie A season kicked off with a goalless draw between Atalanta and Sassuolo, a match marked by significant defensive absences for both sides. The game, held in Bergamo, saw neither team able to break the deadlock.

Atalanta faced challenges with their defense, with Giorgio Scalvini and Thomas Kristensen both sidelined due to ankle injuries. Kristensen's injury, sustained during a Conference League playoff match, left his recovery time uncertain. Sead Kolasinac was expected to partner Odilon Kossounou in central defense.

Sassuolo, under new coach Alberto Aquilani, also dealt with player availability issues. Key player Berardi was likely to miss the match due to an ankle problem. Doubts also surrounded the participation of Pinamonti and Thorsvedt, who had expressed a desire to leave the club. The team's likely formation was a 4-3-3, with Bowie leading the attack.
