Juventus - Atalanta predictions

Juventus are not exactly firm favourites to register three points in this game but we still believe they will manage to defeat Atalanta. The odds of 2.22 might sound a bit risky but we still trust hosts can come out on top in the end.

It’s highly unlikely that Atalanta will manage to get some points this round. Juventus are at a considerable advantage, so even a draw would be a success for the visitors.

The hosts are coming off from a narrow away defeat Napoli from the previous Serie A fixture. They were never able to put up a real fight as they fell behind in the first 45 minutes and never got a chance to catch up despite the minimum goal deficit.

Whatever went wrong for Atalanta in the last round against Bologna, it’s clear it happened after the 45-minute mark. They were leading on their home field in a fairly favourable matchup, yet they fumbled it and lost the match 1:2.

The hosts will be looking to cut down on the number of goals they concede. They’ve recorded more than 5 total concessions over the last 3 matches, which is usually a cause for concern.

With 7 goals in their own net over the last 3 fixtures, Atalanta's backline has much to be wished for

The hosts are currently in a table spot that will send them to the Champions League if they succeed, but the season is not over yet. The title is well within reach, but earning points with matchups such as this one is no easy feat.

Atalanta are currently number 6th on the table, which is a somewhat awkward position. A Europa League qualification seems to be within reach, but time is quickly running out at the coming matches are stacked against them.

With several tied games behind them, the teams will be looking to switch things up to get the upper hand. Several matches between Juventus and Atalanta ended in a draw this season alone, so it’s clear they’ll need to get creative – especially the hosts.

The hosts may be favourites to win the match, but their lineup is in a somewhat weakened state. Adrien Rabiot, Weston McKennie, Mattia Perin are all sidelined due to injury, which makes Juve’s position as favourites a bit shakier than it might seem.

You can safely put down an Over 2.5 Goals bet on this match and feel very confident. If the teams’ records are any indication, 3 or more goals in this match are almost guaranteed.
