One of the most attractive looking fixtures in this weekend’s Serie A action is Juventus taking on Atalanta at the Allianz Stadium as the league leaders look to assert their authority over their 3rd placed visitors in Saturday’s showdown.
It’s a great shame that this spectacle won’t have the live crowd in attendance but plenty are sure to be tuned in as Juventus look to take another step towards clinching this season’s Serie A title.
The hosts will be hurting too after their midweek loss away from home at AC Milan in a surprising 4-2 defeat which ended an impressive run of seven wins on the trot, so there could be fireworks from the Old Lady as they seek to set the record straight in no uncertain terms.
Having collected eight wins on the trot on home turf at their Allianz Stadium, Juventus will undoubtedly be in confident mood in picking up a ninth straight victory at Atalanta’s expense, and goals could also feature in the process.
Indeed, 11 of Juventus’s 15 home matches have produced over 2.5 goals.
3rd placed Atalanta are no slouches though as their current league position indicates, and the visitors have also racked up an impressive winning streak in the Italian top flight having won their last nine matches on the trot overall.
Six of these nine victories also included three goals or more which underlines Atalanta’s ability to create and score plenty of goals and they look the most likely to cause Juventus potential problems at their Allianz Stadium at the moment.
Atalanta’s goalscoring exploits haven’t just been restricted to their Gewiss Stadium either as the visitors have racked up seven-goal hauls twice on their travels to date this season with emphatic wins at Torino 7-0 and Lecce 7-2, and they also bring a five-match winning streak on the road into this intriguing clash at Juventus.
The free-scoring approach has also seen 11 of Atalanta’s 15 away matches produce three goals or more on the road in this season’s Serie A campaign and the visitors will also be motivated by the fact that they mathematically still have an outside chance of stealing the Serie A title from under their host’s noses.
Three of the previous four encounters between these two teams have produced over 2.5 goals and this Saturday’s clash could be no exception.
