Atalanta vs Juventus Preview

• Tournament: Serie A
• Date: Tuesday, January 14, 2025
• Time: 7:45 pm GMT
• Venue: Gewiss Stadium

Atalanta will host Juventus in an important Serie A clash at the Gewiss Stadium on Tuesday. Both sides are among the top in the league and will look to gain all three points.

Atalanta finished fourth in Serie A last season but are now challenging for the title. They sit second after 19 games with three draws and three defeats. They are just two points behind leaders Napoli and will be keen to overtake them.

Juventus, meanwhile, have had a peculiar 2024-25 campaign so far despite being unbeaten in the league. In their first season under Thiago Motta, they have drawn 12 of their first 19 league games, winning the other seven. Despite being unbeaten, they are 11 points off leaders Napoli and sit fifth in the standings.

It is an important match for both sides as a defeat could see them fall behind their rivals in their respective goals.

Key Players to watch in Atalanta vs Juventus

Ademola Lookman

Ademola Lookman has been the star man for Atalanta since the start of last season. He scored a hat-trick in the UEFA Europa League final against Bayer Leverkusen last season to help the Italian side win 3-0.

With Gianluca Scamacca out due to an ACL injury, Lookman has become the leader in attack and has been excellent. He’s scored 12 goals and provided six assists in 23 games across competitions this season.

However, Lookman has scored just one goal and provided one assist in his last five appearances and will look to change that against Juventus on Tuesday.

Kenan Yildiz

The Turkiye international has been excellent for Juventus this season, both in terms of goal contributions and overall performance. He’s scored six goals and provided five assists in 27 games across competitions.

With Dusan Vlahovic out injured, Kenan Yildiz will be the main man for the Bianconeri in attack against Atalanta. He recently ended a run of nine games without a goal with two goals in his last two games. He will be keen to keep that run going against Atalanta on Tuesday.

Atalanta vs Juventus Prediction

Atalanta have been excellent in the 2024-25 campaign as they look to win the Serie A title. They recently missed out on the Supercoppa Italia trophy, losing 2-0 against Inter Milan in the semi-final. They are now winless in their last three games with one defeat and two draws.

In their last five games, Atalanta beat Cesena 6-1 and Empoli 3-2. They then drew 1-1 against Lazio, lost 2-0 against Inter Milan, and drew 0-0 against Udinese. Juventus, meanwhile, beat Cagliari 4-0 and Monza 2-1, drew 2-2 against Fiorentina, lost 2-1 against AC Milan and drew 1-1 against Torino.

Juventus have the same record as Atalanta in the last three games but their performances have been rather contrasting. Atalanta were arguably unlucky to draw against Udinese last time out and will be desperate to overturn their form. Moreover, Juventus’ form and injury crisis puts them as the underdogs for the clash.

Predicted Score: Atalanta 2-0 Juventus
