There are several fixtures to enjoy in the Italian Serie A on Wednesday night, including the meeting between Juventus and Atalanta at the Allianz Stadium. The hosts begin the week in 3rd place on 23 points while the visitors are in 8th place on 17 points.
Juventus come into this match having picked up a 3-1 win at Genoa on the weekend. It was a match they were expected to win but having taken the lead early in the second half it did not take long for Genoa to score the equalising goal. It appeared as though the game was going to end in a draw until the award of two penalties in favour of Juventus, with Cristiano Ronaldo converting both to seal the victory.
That result means Juventus are undefeated in their last 10 games in all competitions and have won each of their last 4 matches. The wins have come at home against Dynamo Kyiv and Torino, with the away victories against Barcelona and Genoa.
Juventus are currently on an 11 game unbeaten run in Serie A and have won 4 of their last 5 league games at the Allianz Stadium. The victories have come over Sampdoria, Napoli, Cagliari, and Torino. The only dropped points came in a 1-1 draw with Hellas Verona.
Trends show Juventus have won by 2 or more goals 11 of their last 17 home Serie A games. They have scored 2 or more goals 16 of their last 18 home league matches.
Atalanta travel to Turin following a good 3-0 home victory over Fiorentina on the weekend. Having taken the lead just before half time, Atalanta added two further goals early in the second half to take maximum points. That result means Atalanta are undefeated in 6 of their last 7 matches in all competitions.
They have lost only one of their last 7 games and that came at home in Serie A against Hellas Verona following the excellent 2-0 win away against Liverpool in the Champions League.
Trends show Atalanta have lost only 4 of their last 28 Serie A matches. They have lost only one of their last 15 away games in the league and only once in their last 17 away trips have Atalanta failed to score a goal.
Team news and Juventus will be without striker Álvaro Morata who is suspended. Defenders Merih Demiral and Giorgio Chiellini are unavailable due to injury.
Atalanta will be without the injured duo of Mario Pasalic and Mattia Caldara. Every other player should be fit and available for the visitors.
This is an intriguing game and both teams are capable of picking up the victory if they perform to their best. Both teams could find the back of the net but with home advantage, Juventus could continue their winning run by taking maximum points.
