We return to action from the most famous leagues and competitions across Europe this weekend following a midweek spent following the Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League. We find some mouth-watering games on the schedule, including a thriller from the top tier of Italian football. Juventus is the most successful team in Serie A but are unlikely to add to their championship tally this season, with Inter Milan well clear of the chasing pack.
The Old Lady hopes to eat into Milan’s advantage when hosting Atalanta on Sunday from 17:00 GMT in a game you can follow live on television and the best mobile streaming apps. Will Juventus make their home advantage count to secure all three points, or will Atalanta cause an upset by collecting a rare away win at this venue? Keep reading as our team analyses the stats, checks the form, and makes predictions.
Comeback trail
The Juventus story is a peculiar one as the Old Lady dominated Italian football for a decade before slipping from pole position. They released their vice-like grip on the competition, allowing Napoli and Milan to take over at the helm. Fans want to see their team back performing at the highest level, pushing for domestic glory and chasing European success. Still, they remain on the road to recovery, sitting second in the division.
When looking closely at Juve’s form this season, we see they are second in the table with their stats for the season so far showing 17 wins, six draws, and four defeats with 42 goals scored and 21 conceded. They boast a tally of 57 points, which is one better than AC Milan in third place and 10 points clear of Roma, who are outside of the top four. That means a spot in next season’s Champions League group stage is already looking likely, but there’s still plenty of football ahead.
Visitors winless in three
Atalanta faces the unenviable task of playing Juventus at their stadium, where a capacity crowd will back them. Will the visitors roll over and surrender, or put on a show and fight for the points as they attempt to score a massive upset? That remains to be seen, but it’s clear Atalanta isn’t in the best form ahead of this game, with the visitors winless in their last three. Atalanta has drawn one and lost two as they slipped to sixth in the pecking order.
Bet hereSuffering back-to-back defeats isn’t the ideal preparation for a visit to Juventus, but Atalanta knows their hosts aren’t the team they once were and will fancy scoring an away win. Victory for Atalanta wouldn’t change too much for Juve in terms of their goals for the season, but it could drive the visitors up the table and towards the prizes. If Atalanta is to get anything from this game, they must improve on their recent efforts, especially in defence.
Juventus vs Atalanta prediction
Viewers expect an exciting game as the two sides push for a top-four finish and European football next season clash. There’s everything to play for here, and with both teams knowing a defeat wouldn’t be a disaster, they can plan to shoot for the win and all three points, making for an exciting 90 minutes of action. But which team will end on top?
You may follow the form when approaching this game, but neither side is at its strongest, suffering recent defeats. Juventus lost last time out and Atalanta has lost each of their previous two Serie A starts. The stadium should make all the difference here, and if Juve is at their best, it should have enough class to claim the desired result.
