Juventus v Atalanta match preview and prediction | OneFootball

Juventus take on Atalanta in their next league game, days after enjoying a superb 5 0 win against NEC in the Europa League. The upcoming fixture is expected to provide a much tougher test for the Bianconeri.

The team at the Allianz Stadium have remained inconsistent during another difficult season, and they know they will need to produce their best performance if they are to return to winning ways in the league. Their recent results have increased the importance of this fixture.

Juventus looking to return to winning ways

Juventus have not won either of their last two league matches and were beaten by Sassuolo in their previous game in the competition. They therefore need to start collecting points again, although they face an Atalanta side that will also be looking to improve its recent form.

Maurizio Sarri’s team have made a poor start to the campaign and must perform better as the season progresses. Their objective will be to secure a European place, making every opportunity to collect points increasingly important.

A match against Juventus gives Atalanta an opportunity to show that they have the quality to challenge any team, while La Dea will also be determined to respond after suffering back to back defeats. Their current situation means they are likely to approach the fixture with plenty of motivation.

Bianconeri must remain focused

This could therefore be a good time for Juventus to face Atalanta, but the Bianconeri cannot afford to underestimate one of the talented teams in the league. Any lack of concentration could allow their opponents to take advantage and make the match difficult.

Juventus demonstrated their quality in midweek with the 5-0 victory against NEC, giving them confidence heading into the league fixture. The performance also provided an opportunity for several players to build momentum ahead of the challenging match.

The Bianconeri will hope their home support and the form of rejuvenated players such as Nicolas Gonzalez can help them secure another important result.
