Match Preview

Ahead of our Atalanta vs Juventus preview and free football tips, both of these teams have been in European action, with Juventus having some extra recovery time due to their participation in the Champions League rather than the Europa League. The motivation of playing the Scudetto holders should plug the gap.

Atalanta have gone unbeaten for their last six consecutive matches, and they will be a huge test for the Bianconeri to overcome on Sunday. They have lost just one of their last 14 Serie A matches at the Stadio Atleti Azzurri d’Italia.

Our Atalanta vs Juventus are heavily influenced by that last statistic, so we have a look for some value in this weekend’s Serie A odds with regard to the home side pulling off an important result and frustrating Massimiliano Allegri’s side.

Home form was key to Atalanta surprising many and battling to a European finish last season. Juventus, meanwhile, have shown in the past that they find it tough on this particular ground.

Atalanta vs Juventus Prediction and Betting Advice

This very game ended in a 2-2 draw in Bergamo last season, with late goals from both Dani Alves and Remo Freuler ensuring that it was hard-fought until the very end. It should be the same sort of game this time around in the 2017/2018 Serie A campaign.

Juve have gone five games without a clean sheet on the road in the Italian top flight, with Atalanta definitely set to have the opportunity to do their opponents some damage. Alejandro Gomez already has three goals to his name in the league, while young Andrea Petagna has scored two.

Except for a surprising 1-0 loss at the hands of Roma in their first Serie A home game of the season, Atalanta have been fantastic in front of their own fans since late December of last year. Fiorentina, Sassuolo, Juventus and Milan have all taken home a point, but otherwise, no team has left this stadium with even a share of the spoils. 10Bet offer the best value in this particular market for a draw.

Our Atalanta vs Juventus bets also took into consideration Atalanta’s most recent performances. In the Europa League on Thursday night, they held Olympique Lyonnais to a 1-1 draw at home, and both Fiorentina and Chievo have fallen to the same fate in Serie A in September.

Given that Atalanta have only really found their goalscoring touch against teams with flimsy backlines like Everton and Crotone, rather than teams with plenty of quality in defence, the visit of Juventus shouldn’t be serving up anything in the way of a thrashing for either team.

Our Atalanta vs Juventus picks suggest that 1-1 could well be another likely scoreline, given that Atalanta have managed it in three of their last four competitive games, especially given that neither side are expected to give the other much of an inch. Juve are there to be tested, down to their poor run without any clean sheets, and Unibet offer fantastic value on there being less than three goals scored in Bergamo this weekend.
