Juventus vs Atalanta BC

Juventus host Atalanta on 20 September looking to cement an early foothold near the Serie A summit. Luciano Spalletti's Juventus sit fifth with seven points from three games, while Maurizio Sarri's Atalanta trail closely after a promising start under the veteran coach. Juventus are unbeaten, backing up wins over Frosinone and Parma with a 1-1 draw at Milan, Federico Gatti equalising late. Kenan Yildiz remains their creative spark, with Randal Kolo Muani, back on a permanent deal, still chasing his first goal. Atalanta lost 2-1 at Roma after opening wins over Sassuolo and Bologna, the latter won by a 96th-minute Lazar Samardzic strike. Ademola Lookman and Charles De Ketelaere lead the attack, with Giorgio Scalvini anchoring the defence. Historically Juventus dominate this fixture, 21 wins to five, but recent meetings have been tighter: just one Juventus win in the last eight, with nine draws in fourteen. Our prediction: 2-1
