Fight For Momentum: Will Juventus Regain Its Form Against Resurgent Atalanta, or Atalanta’s Good Form Will Continue
Juventus will host Atalanta at Allianz Stadium as they’ll look to return to winning ways after two draws, whereas Atalanta, who seemed to struggle, won their last two Serie A games, although they lost heavily against PSG at UCL in between them. But the consecutive wins will give confidence to the team that looked broken after Gasperini left.
Juventus, who were looking sharp with a perfect start into the season, seems to stutter a bit as they drew their last two games against Dortmund with a scoreline of 4-4 (in UCL) at their home Allianz Stadium and 1-1 with Hellas Verona Away at the Bentegodi.
On the other hand, Ivan Juric seems to have finally found his footing as he won his last two Serie A games with a difference of more than 3 goals, 4-1 vs Lecce at their home, Stadio di Bergamo. Atalanta, who looked lost after Gasperini’s leaving, finally looks to learn life without him, and Ivan Juric, who once thought to be set up for failure due to lack of resources, finally seems to find his way out and implement his tactics and philosophy into Atalanta.

Key Players to Watch Out for
Juventus
- Dušan Vlahović— Vlahović is expected to lead the line for Juventus, who will depend on him to challenge the Atalanta defense and be their primary goal threat.
Atalanta
- Nikola Krstovic— Krstovic, fresh from scoring a brace last gameweek, should be brimming with confidence and would hope to find the net for Atalanta.
Tactical Battle
Juventus
Tudor would set up in a 3-4-2-1 formation. Juventus’ Main concern would remain in the out-of-possession structure in defense to midfield, as previously it has cost Juventus a lot this season, making them concede a lot of goals. Their attacking fluidity will be key to unlocking Atlanta’s defense.
Atalanta
This would be the first real test for Ivan Juric in Serie A as he faces Juventus away at the Allianz Stadium. Although Atalanta just conceded 3 goals in Serie A, it can still be said their defense is breachable, as they conceded 4 goals against PSG in the UCL, which was their biggest test early on in the season, through which we can know that with the help of quality attacking transition or attacking play, they can be breached.
Predicted Lineups
Juventus Possible Starting XI:
M.De Gregorio; L.Kelly, F.Gatti, Bremer; P.Kalulu, M.Locatelli, K.Thuram, A.Cambiaso; K.Yildiz, S.Conceicao; D.Vlahovic
Atalanta Possible Starting XI:
M.Carnesecchi; O.Kossounou, B.Djimitsi, H.Ahanor; R.Bellanova, M.De Roon, M.Pasalic, D.Zappacosta, A.Lookman, K.Sulemana; N.Krstovic

Atalanta

- Bakker (ACL)
Scoreline Prediction
This would be the first real test of Atalanta in their Serie A season, with their key players ruled out for the game and the team freshly settling into Jurc’s system. It’d be difficult for Atalanta to contain a more settled and attackingly fluid Juventus side at their home, so a scoreline of 2-1 in favour of Juventus is predicted.
