The starting lineup for each team in their previous match in this tournament is listed.
Atalanta
Gian Piero Gasperini's side couldn't overcome Udinese away in their last match (0-0). As a result, Atalanta drew for the second consecutive match but extended their unbeaten run in Serie A to 14 matches (11 wins, 3 draws). Notably, this is only the second time this season that the Bergamo side failed to score in the league. They are second in the standings with 42 points, trailing leaders Napoli by two points.
Defender Odilon Kossounou and forward Gianluca Scamacca will miss the game due to injuries.
- The team has won their last six home games in Serie A.
- They have scored at least twice in 13 of their previous home league matches.
- Both teams have scored in 8 of Atalanta's last 9 home matches in Serie A.
Juventus
In their last match, Thiago Motta's side drew 1-1 with Torino. As a result, Juventus extended their unbeaten run in Serie A to 27 matches (9 wins, 18 draws). However, for the third time in four previous league games, they scored first but failed to win. Juventus have 33 points, placing them fifth in the standings, three points off the top four.
Defenders Gleison Bremer and Juan Cuadrado, along with forwards Francisco Conceição, Dušan Vlahović, and Arkadiusz Milik, will miss the match due to injuries. Additionally, head coach Thiago Motta is suspended for this game.
- Juventus are 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 games.
- They have conceded no more than one goal in 8 of their last 9 away matches in Serie A.
Atalanta vs. Juventus: Match Prediction
At home, Atalanta play very aggressively and pose significant problems for opponents of any level. Gian Piero Gasperini's side is particularly active in attack: in their last 18 home league matches, they have only failed to score at least twice once. However, this style of play leaves their defense vulnerable: in 11 of their last 14 home matches in Serie A, they have failed to keep a clean sheet.
Juventus are confident on the road and aim to spend a lot of time attacking. In their last 12 away league matches, they have only failed to score twice, and in seven of these games, they have scored at least twice. However, Thiago Motta's team is not always reliable in defense and has conceded seven goals in their last six away matches in Serie A.
I expect a high-scoring game in this encounter, so my prediction: Total over 2.5 goals
