Juventus Host Atalanta in Turin on Sunday
The match will test Juventus' compact defence after a Europa League rout against an Atalanta side that has lost two league games in a row.
Overview
- The Serie A fixture is scheduled for Sunday, 20 September at 18:00 at the Allianz Stadium and counts as Matchday 5.
- Juventus have recovered from a 3-2 loss at Sassuolo with a 5-0 Europa League win and currently face the fewest shots conceded in Serie A this season.
- Atalanta arrive on a two-game domestic losing run that includes a 2-1 defeat to Cagliari, but they remain unbeaten in their last eight Serie A visits to Turin.
- Both teams have selection issues: Juventus are missing several players through injury or suspension while Atalanta will be without Kamaldeen Sulemana and Isak Hien and expect new signing Franck Kessié to start.
- Long-term history favors Juventus in Serie A meetings — 128 matches with 67 Juve wins and 19 scoreless draws — a pattern that shapes tactical expectations and betting markets for a likely tight game.
