Match Prediction: Juventus vs. Atalanta
At home, Juventus favors attacking football and strives to play from a position of strength, with no issues in scoring. In the current championship, Thiago Motta's side has only failed to score at home against Roma and Napoli. Furthermore, in 8 of their last 9 home Serie A matches, the club has scored at least twice. However, the team is not always flawless in defense, conceding nine goals in their last nine home league matches.
Atalanta rarely struggles to create chances, even in away games. In their last 24 away league matches, Gian Piero Gasperini's side failed to score in only three, with two of those against Inter. Moreover, in their last six head-to-head matches at Juventus in Serie A, the Bergamaschi have found the net.
I expect a high-scoring match where both teams will effectively attack. My prediction: Both teams to score – yes
