Juventus vs Atalanta Prediction
As mentioned, these two sides are out of Europe having suffered shock defeats to PSV Eindhoven and Club Brugge respectively in the knockout playoff round of the UEFA Champions League last month. Juventus boss Thiago Motta is now under immense pressure with the Old Lady also knocked out of the Coppa Italia at the quarter-final stage with a penalty shootout defeat at home to struggling Empoli last week. Atalanta are also still struggling, most recently being held to a goalless draw at home to Venezia in Bergamo last week. Whilst they remain firmly in the Serie A title race, the Bergamasci have done their best to fall out of it, as well as the other cup competitions with just four victories in their last 16 matches across all competitions, with, weirdly, three of those four wins by five goals to nil. Both of these sides our out of form and lacking fluency so it could end up being a hard-fought clash and a hard watch for the neutral as a result.
Juventus vs Atalanta Tip: Under 3.5 goals
