Overview
- The away match at Marseille is framed as pivotal for Atalanta’s Champions League trajectory and for assessing the team’s identity.
- Juric comes into the week after a poor display in Udine and seven draws in ten league games, a run that has left Atalanta 11th.
- The plan centers on Ademola Lookman and Charles De Ketelaere to revive a struggling attack, with a defense that has allowed nine goals in the other 12 matches after the Paris collapse.
- Bookmakers have cut prices on Juric’s dismissal to roughly 1.80–1.85, signaling market expectations of a possible change.
- Italian reports say the club has alternatives under consideration, including Thiago Motta, Raffaele Palladino and Paulo Sousa, against the backdrop of heavy summer spending and Mateo Retegui’s €68m sale.
