Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Juventus will look to recover from a heavy 4-0 loss to Chelsea when they take on Atalanta in a highly-anticipated Serie A clash. The Bianconeri have been showing signs of improvement in the Italian top flight of late, with the team beating both Fiorentina and Lazio in the previous two league fixtures. Paulo Dybala is pushing for a start, whilst all Ramsey, Danilo, and Bernardeschi should miss out through injuries.
The Orobici, on the other hand, faced no difficulties in a 5-2 win over Spezia. Atalanta head into the match following a thrilling Champions League draw (3-3) with Young Boys, and given their attacking potential, both teams to score betting option should be considered. All Zappacosta, Gosens, Lovato, and Hateboer are out of contention through injuries for the visiting side. In their last meeting at the venue the two sides played out a 1-1 draw.
