Juventus

Juventus does not have a perfect season. The team of Maurizio Sarri has already lost two trophies, losing to the Lazio Super Cup and the Napoli Italian Cup. In Serie A, the “old signora” is still a favorite in the fight for the title - seven points are separated from the second “Lazio”, the third “Atalanta” is nine points away, today this handicap should change.

After quarantine, Juventus issued a magnificent winning streak - its victims were Bologna (2: 0), Lecce (4: 0), Genoa (3: 1) and Torino (4: 1). In the last round, the “old Signora” probably expected to get the next three points - she led 2-0 in the match against Milan, but having gained an advantage, she relaxed.

“Milan” took advantage of this instantly, sending four goals to the goal of the Italian champion. Defeat 2: 4 interrupted the winning streak of the team, but the main competitors of Juventus also failed, only Atalanta managed to take three points.

Atalanta

Atalanta made a loud statement about itself this season - after spending a very high level last season, the team of Gianpiero Gasperini received a ticket to the Champions League, where it played great. Having got out of a difficult group, Atalanta made Valencia without any problems in the playoffs and now in August it will measure against PSG.

Participation in the Champions League affected the start of Atalanta in Serie A. Often the Bergamas lost points, due to which they could not join the championship race. At the moment, the club takes third place in the table with 66 points, only two points behind the second “Lazio”, and the leader of “Juventus” has a handicap of nine points.

In the last round, Atalanta had a difficult rival. Sampdoria took shape and fought at Athleti Azzurri d'Italia. Nevertheless, the Bergamaskas managed to open their rivals at the end of the meeting - a 2-0 victory became their 12-th consecutive row in all tournaments.

Prediction

Juventus stumbled in the last round, losing to Milan, but in general the situation has not changed much - the “old signora” still confidently leads the table. However, “Atalanta” managed to get out on the third line and reduced the gap from the leader to nine points. A victory in an in-person meeting will make this handicap quite surmountable and will return the intrigue, which guests will surely strive for.

Atalanta will obviously take risks. In the event of a defeat, it will not lose much, but in the event of a victory, it will have a very real chance of gold. Guests will have complete order with the attack and Juve’s defense will definitely have problems, but the champion himself doesn’t know the problems with effectiveness, so it makes sense to count on an extravaganza.

In our opinion, the match will be productive. We offer a combined forecast - both will score + total more (2.5) goals. In 1x bet, such an outcome is offered with a coefficient of 1.85
