Juventus vs. Atalanta: Match Prediction
The Turin side aims to dominate and control the game at home. The team focuses heavily on attack and scores regularly: in the last 16 home Serie A matches, Juventus failed to score at least two goals only three times. Additionally, in two home games this season, the club has scored six goals against Inter and Parma combined.
Atalanta also displays high scoring ability and scores frequently, even away. In the last nine away Serie A matches, the team failed to score only against Fiorentina, while in seven of these games, they breached opponents' defenses at least twice.
Furthermore, in the last three head-to-head encounters at Juventus' home in the league, the teams have collectively scored at least four goals. I expect another high-scoring game in this matchup, and my prediction: Total over 2.5 goals
* Each team's starting lineup is based on their last match in this tournament.
