Betting on Atalanta
Atalanta could secure their return to European competition this weekend after a season of absence, and they could even do it in style by finishing within the Champions League spots.
La Dea has gone four games in a row without a loss and has won five of their last seven matches. This performance has been more than enough to secure fourth place in the standings with 58 points, the same as Milan and Roma, but with a better goal difference.
While this small cushion could move them from the Conference League to the Europa League in the blink of an eye, positive results could also put them in Champions League spots, as they are only two points away from fourth place, currently occupied by Inter, and with a friendly schedule that includes a match against the Nerazzurri.
Atalanta’s impressive performance can largely be attributed to their 56 goals, which is the third-best record in Serie A. This is quite a remarkable achievement, considering the tough defense that is played in the league. In addition, they have scored at least three times in three of their last five victories, and have scored three or more goals in six games throughout the season.
However, they will need to maintain this level of accuracy when playing at home, where they have not been as successful as expected. Although Atalanta has won their last two home games, they have also lost five times this year in front of their home crowd, and have conceded 21 goals. This makes them one of the teams that have conceded the most goals in their home games.
Possible Lineup (3-4-3): Juan Musso; Rafael Toloi, Berat Djimsiti, Giorgio Scalvini; Davide Zappacosta, Marten de Roon, Teun Koopmeiners, Joakim Maehle; Mario Pasalic, Rasmus Holjund, Duván Zapata.
Betting on Juventus
The Juventus season has been a roller coaster ride that could ultimately end up at its destination without any major hiccups, even though it seemed to be derailing along the way.
While waiting to see if they will be hit with point deductions again, the Vecchia Signora could not only finish in Champions League positions in Serie A, but also as champions of the Europa League, where they will face the tough Sevilla in the semifinals.
Under the guidance of Massimiliano Allegri, they remain in third place in the standings, despite only securing their first win in their last five games this week. With 63 points, Juve is just one point behind Lazio in second place, while holding a five-point lead over Atalanta in fifth place.
That’s why this match is so important for the Turin team. Not only could they take a practically definitive lead over a direct rival, but it would also serve as motivation for the first leg commitment they will have midweek against the Spanish team.
For Juventus, it’s vital that their offensive problems are solved during these last few weeks, since before scoring two goals against Lecce, they had only scored twice in four games. That’s why, of the top six teams in the standings, their 50 goals are the lowest amount.
As if that wasn’t enough, their performance worsens when they play away. Although they are the third least conceded team in these conditions, with only 14 goals against, they have only scored 14 goals away from home and haven’t won on the road in the last three games.
Possible Lineup (3-5-2): Wojciech Szczesny; Danilo, Leonardo Bonucci, Alex Sandro; Juan Cuadrado, Adrien Rabiot, Nicolo Fagioli, Filip Kostic, Federico Chiesa; Angel Di Maria, Dusan Vlahovic.
JefeBet Prediction
Two of the top teams of the Serie A season are facing each other this Sunday with sights set on the upcoming Champions League, and they will surely give us an equally entertaining match as the 3-3 draw in the first leg.
Although Juventus has one of the best defenses in the league, Atalanta’s attack is in great form, and they are one of the highest-scoring teams at home in the championship.
On the other hand, the Vecchia Signora has the potential to improve their attack and the Dea‘s defense is not one of the most reliable in the league, so it could be a good night for Allegri’s team.
In addition, five out of the last ten matches between these two teams ended with at least three total goals on the scoreboard, and in seven of those matches, both clubs scored. At JefeBet, we believe that the latter will happen again at Atalanta’s home in this Atalanta vs Juventus game.
Prediction: Both teams score (ATA 2 – JUV 2).
