Atalanta vs Juventus

Gewiss Stadium is the venue as Atalanta and Juventus go head-to-head in a tasty-looking Serie A encounter.

After delivering a mixed bag of performance in the opening two Serie A rounds (W1, L1), Atalanta seem to be on their way to re-establishing themselves as genuine top-four contenders on the back of three victories in their last four league games (L1). Gian Piero Gasperini’s side toppled Hellas Verona 1-0 in midweek Serie A action, making it three wins in a row, all competitions included. Moreover, ‘La Dea’ have turned Gewiss Stadium into a fortress this season after collecting fewer points at home than on the road across the last two league campaigns. They have won all three competitive outings in Bergamo in 2023/24 via 2+ goals ‘to nil,’ suggesting they could defy their underwhelming 18-game home form against Juventus in Serie A (W1, D5, L12).

Despite their sterling form in Bergamo, Juventus have massively struggled in this fixture lately. Before a 2-0 triumph here last May, they had gone winless in six consecutive league meetings with Atalanta (D4, L2), indicating this will be anything but a walk in the park. Massimiliano Allegri’s men responded well to last week’s 4-2 humbling at the hands of Sassuolo, eking out a narrow 1-0 home win over Lecce in midweek Serie A action. That success took their seasonal tally to 13 points from six games (W4, D1, L1), representing their best top-flight start since 2019/20, when they incidentally last won the title. It’s also worth noting that before going down at Sassuolo, Juventus had won both away league matches this term by 2+ goals ‘to nil.’
