It is a chance for some silverware as Atalanta and Juventus square off in the Coppa Italia final. Atalanta have been near perfect in the build-up to Wednesday's clash and will fancy their chances against the Turin club, who appear to have lost their way in recent times.
Atalanta reached the Coppa Italia final thanks to a 4-2 aggregate victory over Fiorentina. Having suffered a 1-0 defeat in the first leg, they returned to Bergamo for a 4-1 victory with Gianluca Scamacca and Ademola Lookman among the goals.
It is shaping up to be a great campaign for Atalanta, who still have the Europa League final to look forward to. Gian Piero Gasperini’s men are unbeaten in their last six matches across all competitions, claiming five wins in that run, including a 2-1 Serie A victory over Roma last weekend.
Juventus’ path to the final was not as smooth as they edged out Lazio 3-2 on aggregate. They picked up a 2-0 victory in the first meeting before suffering a 2-1 defeat in the second leg with Arkadiusz Milik’s late effort ensuring progress.
In contrast to Atalanta, Juventus have found things difficult lately and are winless in their last six matches. Five of those fixtures have ended in draws with Massimiliano Allegri’s men playing out a 1-1 scoreline with Salernitana last weekend.
How the bookies view it: An evenly matched contest
There is nothing to separate both teams among the bookies with Atalanta priced at 7/4 by bet365 to claim the win while a victory for Juventus is also valued at 7/4. A draw is set at odds of 21/10.
Recent head to head: Nothing to separate rivals
Atalanta and Juventus have picked up one win each with five draws from the last seven matches. The two Serie A meetings this season have ended in stalemates with both teams battling to a 0-0 draw in October before playing out a 2-2 scoreline in March.
Players to watch: Eyes on Lookman
Ademola Lookman has caught the eye for Atalanta, with three goals in his last six matches. The forward has also found the net three times in the last three Coppa Italia matches and is priced at 11/4 by bet365 to get on the score sheet.
Dusan Vlahovic may have slightly lost his way in recent weeks but remains the biggest attacking threat for Juventus having scored 16 Serie A goals this season. The striker is priced at 15/8 by bet365 to find the net on Wednesday.
Probable line-ups
Both teams have no major injury concerns and can choose a strong team for Wednesday’s clash.
Ademola Lookman should return to the starting lineup for Atalanta after coming off the bench last weekend. Federico Chiesa was a second half substitute for Juventus last Sunday and they should play from the start.
Atalanta: Musso, De Roon, Hien, Djimsiti, Zappacosta, Ederson, De Ketelaere, Ruggeri, Koopmeiners, Lookman, Scamacca
Juventus: Szczesny, Gatti, Bremer, Rugani, Cambiaso, McKennie, Locatelli, Rabiot, Kostic, Chiesa, Vlahovic
