Each team's starting lineup from their last match in this tournament is listed.
Atalanta
Gian Piero Gasperini's side couldn't break down Udinese away from home in their last match, ending in a 0-0 draw. This result marked Atalanta's second consecutive draw, yet they extended their unbeaten run in the league to 14 matches (11 wins, 3 draws). Notably, this was only the second time this Serie A season that the Bergamo side failed to score. In the standings, the team is in second place with 42 points, trailing leaders Napoli by two points.
Forwards Gianluca Scamacca and Mateo Retegui will miss the game due to injuries.
- The team has won their last six home matches in Serie A.
- They have scored at least twice in 13 of their previous home league encounters.
- Both teams have scored in 8 of Atalanta's last 9 home Serie A matches.
Juventus
In their latest match, Thiago Motta's side drew 1-1 with Torino in the derby. As a result, Juventus extended their unbeaten streak in the league to 27 matches (9 wins, 18 draws). However, this was the third time in four previous Serie A games that they scored first but did not win. Juventus currently sits fifth in the standings with 33 points, three points behind the top four.
Defender Gleison Bremer and Juan Cuadrado, as well as forwards Francisco Conceicao, Dusan Vlahovic, and Arkadiusz Milik, will miss the match due to injuries. Additionally, head coach Thiago Motta is suspended for this game.
- The club is unbeaten in their last 13 away matches in Serie A (4 wins, 9 draws).
- No more than two goals have been scored in 4 of their last 5 away league matches.
- Juventus have conceded a maximum of one goal in 8 of their last 9 away Serie A matches.
Atalanta vs. Juventus: Match Prediction
At home, Atalanta plays aggressively and poses significant challenges to opponents of any level. Gian Piero Gasperini's side is particularly active in attack: in their last 18 home league matches, they have scored fewer than two goals only once. However, this style leaves their defense vulnerable: in 11 of their last 14 home Serie A matches, they have failed to keep a clean sheet.
Juventus is confident on the road and aims to spend a lot of time in attack. In their last 12 away league matches, they have failed to score in only two, and in seven of those games, they have scored at least twice. However, Thiago Motta's team is not always solid defensively, conceding seven goals in their last six away Serie A matches.
I expect a high-scoring game in this encounter, so my prediction: Total over 2.5 goals
Inter Milan
Bologna
