Juventus Preview
Juventus’ current situation is far from simple. In addition to last week’s embarrassing defeat at the hands of Napoli, La Vecchia Signora will start this matchday in 10th place in the standings. Following a verdict by the Italian Football Federation’s Public Prosecutor’s Office, the club received a 15-point penalty for capital gains on old transfers. Also, the team dropped from third place (37 points) to tenth place (22 points).
Plagued by major injuries, Juventus had improved their performance after the Champions League elimination, but now everything is complicated again. To make matters worse, they must host an Atalanta team that is unstoppable.
The only positive news, apart from the return of Federico Chiesa, is that Massimiliano Allegri’s side will be playing at home this Sunday, where they got the third highest number of points in the season, 23 after nine games. The team has remained undefeated at home, and it is also the team that has conceded the fewest goals (3) while scoring 21 goals.
Probable lineup (3-5-1-1): Wojciech Szczesny; Danilo, Daniele Rugani, Alex Sandro; Weston McKennie, Adrien Rabiot, Manuel Locatelli, Federico Chiesa, Filip Kostic; Angel Di Maria; Arkadiusz Milik.
Atalanta Preview
Atalanta is on the rise after three games without being defeated. The team’s visit to Turin could end positively, considering the hard blow received by Juventus. Gian Piero Gasperini’s men defeated Salernitana in the previous matchday, and during the week, the team won 5-2 against Spezia in the Coppa Italia.
In the Serie A standings, the team has 34 points, which is the same amount as Lazio. Yet, Gasperini’s men are in fifth place in the standings. Another interesting fact to take into account is that Atalanta is the second-best team playing away in the championship. The team has attained 20 points in nine games, conceding only 7 goals and scoring 15.
Probable lineup (3-4-3): Juan Musso; Rafael Toloi, José Luis Palomino, Giorgio Scalvini; Davide Zappacosta, Marten de Roon, Ederson, Matteo Ruggeri; Ademola Lookman, Rasmus Hojlund, Duván Zapata. .
JefeBet Prediction
Despite the hard blow received by Juventus, this match is expected to be one of the best of matchday 19. In fact, the encounter has become even more significant due to the difficult situation in which Allegri’s men find themselves in, this includes their aspirations for European places.
Playing at home, Juventus is one of the best teams in the championship, but in the last two matches, its defense has seen the opponent score at least one goal. This is something that will surely happen this Sunday against Atalanta’s powerful front line.
Also, in six of the last ten meetings between the two clubs, both have scored at least one goal. Meanwhile, Juventus has registered at least one goal in each of its nine Serie A home games.
Prediction: Both teams score (JUV 1 – ATA 2).
