Juventus vs Atalanta Preview

• Competition: Serie A
• Date: Saturday, 27th September
• Kick-Off Time: 05:00 PM GMT
• Venue: Allianz Stadium

The iconic Allianz Stadium sets the stage for a ‘David vs Goliath’ Serie A clash between Juventus and Atalanta. Two teams with a lot of ambition this season will lock horns in matchday five of Serie A. Here's Sportsdunia's Juventus vs Atalanta Preview.

Igor Tudor came in last season in the middle and helped Juventus perform quite well. He has decided to stay for this season as well, and now he is taking the club to another level. So far, they have played four league games, in which they have won three games and drawn once, with 10 points on the table; they are the current league leaders. Juventus can't afford to take things lightly as other teams are just behind them and those teams are aiming to get to the top. Last season, Juventus didn't perform well against Atalanta, but this time things are different, and they are the favourites to win this match.

On the other hand, Atalanta are under new leadership after many years, and are in a period of transition as of now. In four league matches, they have won twice and drawn twice. They will be gutted to not win all four league games, as they dropped some crucial points in previous matches. Facing this strong Juventus side away from home won't be an easy task for sure, but they are very much capable of getting something positive from this Serie A fixture, as their last few performances against Juventus have been in their favour. This will be a mouthwatering clash for sure.

Key Players to Watch in Juventus vs Atalanta

Francisco Conceicao (Juventus)

Conceicao has emerged as one of the rising stars of Portuguese football. The winger is very well known for his pace, dribbling ability and goal-scoring prowess. He has a compact build, standing at a low centre of gravity, coupled with quick, small strides, which allows Francisco to make frequent and consistent contact with the ball while carrying. His body composition gives him good control over the ball at his feet. He can glide and break opposition defence with his pace and agility. In three games so far he has scored one goal.

Marten de Roon (Atalanta)

The Dutchman is the heart of the midfield of Atalanta. If somehow Juventus can contain him, then they will surely dominate the match. But very few can stop de Roon from influencing the game, as he continuously moves around the pitch and helps his team in different situations. De Roon is a proper machine on the pitch who keeps moving up and down throughout 90 minutes without any mistakes. The Dutchman has been part of Atalanta for quite some time and surely he will make sure to give his best on the pitch against a tough opposition like Juventus.

Juventus vs Atalanta Prediction

Both teams will be quite satisfied and happy with how their new season has started; they are almost on a similar level. The last few fixtures between these two sides have always been very tight, and we can expect the same in the upcoming fixture as well. But Juventus will be using their home advantage and most probably will win this fixture.

Prediction: Juventus 2-1 Atalanta
