Juventus vs Atalanta Prediction: Match Preview and Analysis | Serie A, Matchday 5
After the Coppa Italia and Europa League fixtures, Serie A returns with the big clash between Juventus and Atalanta, scheduled for Saturday, September 27 at the Allianz Stadium in Turin. The two teams have had very different starts to the season: the Bianconeri started strong but slowed down in the last round, while the Nerazzurri had a shaky beginning before bouncing back in the last two matches. After four rounds, Juventus and Atalanta are separated by just two points in the standings, with 10 and 8 points respectively. Tudor’s side, coming off a draw with Verona, need to return to winning ways to close the gap with Napoli, who face AC Milan, and strengthen their role as the Partenopei’s main title rivals. All this while keeping an eye on the Champions League clash against Villarreal, crucial after the 4-4 draw in the opening match against Borussia Dortmund. The visitors arrive in Turin aiming for their third consecutive Serie A win after victories over Lecce and Torino, though they are fully aware that Juventus is a very different challenge. Juric’s men could overtake the Bianconeri in the table with a win, proving themselves one of the most in-form sides in Serie A. However, Atalanta must also manage energy for their midweek Champions League test against Club Brugge, the same team that eliminated them in last year’s knockout round.
