Juventus vs Atalanta
Italian Serie A
Date: 22 January 2023, Sunday
Kick-off at 19:45 UK / 20:45 CET
Venue: Allianz Stadium (Turin).
Juventus will be hoping to bounce back from an embarrassing 5-1 defeat at the hands of Napoli last Friday as they play host to direct UEFA Champions League rivals Atalanta on Sunday evening at Allianz Stadium.
I Bianconeri currently share the third position in the Serie A ladder with Inter Milan as the two teams sit three points above the likes of Lazio, Atalanta, and Roma in the quest for the top-four finish.
This adds on the significance of Sunday’s tie in Turin. To make things worse for the hosts, their counterparts have been scoring goals for fun in the recent outings.
Atalanta bagged as many as 13 goals in the previous two wins in all competitions. They destroyed Salernitana 8-2 in the last weekend’s league action and Spezia 5-2 in the mid-week’s R16 Coppa Italia clash.
Ademola Lookman has been one of the main catalysts for these wins with a brace in each of them and he will no doubts be the main target for Gianpiero Gasperini’s squad in the final third on Sunday.
Atalanta also have two successive wins in the league to back them up ahead of the trip to Turin.
Juventus, on the other side, terminated an eight-win thread in the league with the aforementioned catastrophe at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
Juventus vs Atalanta Head-to-head
- Juventus will rely on tradition because they have dominated this matchup in the clashes in Turin.
- I Bianconeri won 20, drew 6, and lost just 1 of the last 27 home meetings with La Dea.
- Only two of the previous six head to head affairs between these rivals provided three or more goals.
Juventus vs Atalanta Prediction
Juventus are wounded after a demolishing loss in Naples and we are not quite optimistic regarding their chances here against the in-form Atalanta side. The visitors have plenty of weapons capable of exploiting Juve’s leaky back line.
We will thus go with Atalanta to win & Over 2.5 goals FT at the whopping 6.00 odds. The braver punters can go for the 29.00 odds offered for Atalanta to win 3-1.
