Juventus and Atalanta are set to trade tackles in a mouth-watering Serie A showdown at the Allianz Stadium.
Juventus’ confidence suffered a devastating blow in midweek Champions League action as they succumbed to a dreadful 4-0 defeat away to Chelsea. However, ‘I Bianconeri’ have got their Serie A campaign back on track of late, going from back-to-back league losses to a pair of wins, including a 2-0 away victory over Lazio last time out. That should restore some confidence in the home camp, as Juventus take on an Atalanta side they’ve beaten just twice in their last nine Serie A H2Hs (D6, L1). What’s more, Massimiliano Allegri’s men went winless in both top-flight H2Hs in the 2020/21 season (D1, L1), scoring under 1.5 goals on each occasion. Juventus have carried their goalscoring problems into this season, as evidenced by a poor return of under 1.5 goals scored in six of their last seven league outings.
In the meantime, an enthralling 3-3 Champions League draw with Young Boys in midweek extended Atalanta’s unbeaten run in all competitions to seven matches (W3, D4), with Gian Piero Gasperini’s side netting 2+ goals in each of the last six in a row. Notably, ‘La Dea’ have amassed 16 points out of the 18 available away from home this Serie A season (W5, D1), as they enter this round as the only Serie A team yet to lose a road fixture. Though two sides have scored more league goals than Atalanta (27) this season, no team has found the back of the net from open play than the ‘Bergamaschi’ (24) to date. That should set up their hopes of landing their first competitive win at Juventus since 1989, with Atalanta going winless in their subsequent 28 away H2Hs since (D7, L21).
