Juventus are enjoying a resurgence under Thiago Motta, boasting a solid home record with 6 wins and 7 draws at the Allianz Stadium. Their recent 2-0 victory over Hellas Verona demonstrated their ability to control games, and with a defensive record of just 21 goals conceded, they remain one of the league’s most balanced sides. Key players like Dusan Vlahovic and Federico Chiesa will be crucial in unlocking Atalanta’s defense.
Atalanta, despite sitting third in the table, are navigating a challenging period, having managed just one win in their last five games. Their recent goalless draw against Venezia raises concerns about their attacking sharpness, although their impressive away form (9 wins, 3 draws, 2 losses) suggests they can still pose a threat. Gian Piero Gasperini's side will need to rediscover their offensive rhythm to break down Juventus’ disciplined defense.
With Juventus showing signs of stability and Atalanta struggling for consistency, the home side appears to have a slight edge. Given their unbeaten home record and Atalanta’s recent struggles in front of goal, Juventus are favorites to claim all three points. However, considering both teams' attacking quality, a bet on both teams to score (BTTS) is also worth considering. Prediction: Juventus 2-1 Atalanta.
