Juventus vs Atalanta Betting Tips

At the start of the season, Juventus were seen as title favorites but as we are 13 games in, they are sitting at the 8th position in the table at 21 points, 4 points behind their opponents Atalanta. 

Both teams have been battling for form since the start of the season and it can be seen in their last 5 matches in all competitions. Juventus were thrashed 4-0 by Chelsea at Stamford Bridge which made them have just 3 wins in 5 matches in all competitions. 

Atalanta on their part hasn’t lost a game in their last 5 matches in all competitions but has only managed to win just 2 matches out of the 5. This interesting Italian League clash can go either way and here we provide our tips for the match. 

Juventus Form and Team News

Juventus has just won 2 of their last 5 Italian League matches, drawing 1 and losing 2. Their last season’s top goal scorer CR7 left them for Manchester United and they have been fighting to fill the void.  

They currently sit 8th at the table and are freshly battered by Chelsea, they don’t look like real title challengers. Though they are not far from the top of the table, they have struggled to win other Italian top teams this season. 

For the team news, Bernardeschi F. (Groin Injury), Chiellini G. (Muscle Injury), Danilo (Muscle Injury), De Sciglio M. (Knee Injury) and Ramsey A. (Injury) are all out with injuries. 

Atalanta Form and Team News

Atalanta currently sits 4th at the table and has been in decent form. They are unbeaten in their last 7 Italian League matches, winning 4 and drawing 2. Though they have scored 27 league goals this season, this match is a big task for them.   

For the team news,  Gosens R.(Muscle Injury), Hateboer H. (Broken Leg) and Lovato M. are all out of this fixture. Though they have been out for a while, their absence hasn’t really affected Atalanta on the pitch.

Our Tipsters Angle

Juventus vs Atalanta is always an exciting match for Italian League fans due to its intensity and goals. Atalanta is a free-scoring team with a porous defense while Juventus are both struggling to score and when they do score, they struggle to defend. 

Both teams played in UCL in midweek and fatigue might affect them, though it would be interesting to see how the coaches would line up their squads. Atalanta ended their match with a 3-3 draw against Young Boys (a match they needed to win) and Juventus were thrashed by the European Champions 4-0, although their qualification has been secured already. 

In the last five matches between Juventus and Atalanta in all competitions, Juventus has won 2 and drew the rest, so Atalanta would be gunning for a win against a weakened Juventus side.  

Tip 1: Both Teams to Score  

Out of the last 5 matches played between Juventus vs Atalanta, only one has ended without both teams scoring. As mentioned before, Atalanta is a very attacking team with a porous backline, and Juventus don’t seem to get their defense to do a good job this season. 

The porous backline of both teams coupled with their attacking might should see them find each other net. At the Casumo Sportsbook, Both Teams to Score is available at odds 1.42.

Tip 2: Atalanta Win or Draw Halftime (Halftime X2)

Juventus has failed to score in 4 of their last 5 Italian League games and this lack of cutting edge at the opponents’ half seems to be a persistent issue with them this season. While Atalanta has not been on the losing side in the first half of their last 5 games. They are either winning or drawing at halftime, and we expect them to achieve the same feat against Juventus in this match. 

Atalanta Win or Draw Halftime (Halftime X2) is available for this match at Casumo at 1.32 odds and we think it is a good value for this match. 

Conclusion

This match is a clash among the Italian heavyweights and they can be classified as being almost at equal strength. Juventus are still struggling to remain consistent in their chase for the league title and this makes them a dangerous side. 

We expect this match to be a high-scoring encounter, but which team will come out as a winner? We don’t know that yet.
