Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Serie A match.
Both clubs are navigating a difficult spell, having crashed out of the Champions League and Coppa Italia at the same stages. However, their league form remains relatively strong, with Juventus riding a five-match winning streak, albeit with only one major scalp – a 1:0 win over Inter Milan.
Juventus
Even if Juventus secure a top-four finish, Thiago Motta's future at the club remains uncertain. The Turin giants still exhibit significant weaknesses, particularly in attack, where they rank only seventh in Serie A for xG (44.05) over 27 matches. After being eliminated from the Coppa Italia by Empoli (1:2 after penalties), Juventus defeated Hellas Verona (2:0), although their significant advantage in shots (27-5) did not necessarily translate into control of the match.
Atalanta
Atalanta are expected to undergo a squad overhaul in the summer, with several key players potentially departing. Despite some home inconsistencies, their away form has been outstanding—Atalanta have secured 30 points on the road, the best record in the league. They also lead Serie A in 58.20 xG, highlighting their attacking efficiency.
Juventus vs Atalanta Prediction
Since the start of the 2023/24 season, Juventus have won just one of their last four meetings against Atalanta. Given Atalanta’s superior away record and attacking prowess, they are well-positioned to avoid defeat in Turin.
