Atalanta host Juventus in an Italian Serie A clash on Tuesday with both teams desperate to get back to winning ways. Neither team has been at their best lately and given the outcome in recent meetings, there could be little to separate them here.
Things have been difficult for Atalanta lately as they head into Tuesday’s match winless in their last three matches in all competitions. They were beaten 2-1 by Inter Milan in the Super Cup semi-final before being held to a 1-1 draw by Udinese in Serie A last weekend.
Despite their mini slump, Atalanta will still be feeling confident ahead of the visit of Juventus having won their last six home matches. However, they have conceded in each of their last four matches at the Gewiss Stadium.
Juventus are also winless in their last three matches in all competitions with a 2-1 Super Cup defeat to AC Milan among their results. They were held 1-1 by Torino in Serie A last Saturday to make it 12 Serie A draws this season.
The Turin club have become such draw experts lately that they have been level at the break in three of their last four Serie A away matches. Thiago Motta’s men have been vulnerable at the back and have conceded in each of their last five Serie A matches.
How the bookies view it: Bergamo club on top
Atalanta have the upper hand among the bookies and are priced at 21/20 by BoyleSports to claim the win. A victory for Juventus is valued at 23/10 with BoyleSports, who are also offering odds of 9/4 for a draw.
Head to head: String of recent draws
Juventus have a 37-6 advantage with 17 draws from 60 previous against Atalanta and also claimed a 1-0 victory in last season’s Coppa Italia final. However, five of the last seven meetings have ended in draws including the two fixtures last term.
Played to watch: Lookman to step up
Atalanta will be looking to Ademola Lookman to step up and deliver in attack. The Nigerian forward has nine Serie A goals and alongside Charles De Ketelaere, both men can combine to produce over 0.5 goals for the Bergamo club at 2/9 with BoyleSports.
Kenan Yildiz showed he can hold the fort in attack for Juventus with his goal in Torino last time out. With Nico Gonzalez and Timothy Weah also playing up front, the Turin club could be set to produce over 0.5 goals at 2/5 with BoyleSports.
Probable line-ups
Mateo Retegui is still out injured, so Lookman and De Ketelaere should continue to feature in attack for Atalanta. Defender Berat Djimsiti went off injured in the first half at Udinese and should be replaced by Isak Hien once again.
Juventus are still without Dusan Vlahovic and Francisco Conceicao, who remain sidelined with injury. Weah could be given a start on Tuesday after coming off the bench at Torino while Pierre Kalulu should continue at the back.
Atalanta: Carnesecchi, Scalvini, Hien, Kolasinac, Bellanova, Ederson, de Roon, Zappacosta, Pasalic, Lookman, De Ketelaere
Juventus: Di Gregorio, Savona, Gatti, Kalulu, Cambiaso, Luiz, Thuram, Gonzalez, Koopmeiners, Yildiz, Weah
