Atalanta vs Juventus Prediction
Gian Piero Gasperini and his Atalanta side are looking to create history as they chase a first ever Serie A title. They were held to a frustrating goalless draw by Udinese at the weekend and are now actually winless in their last three matches across all competitions after an unconvincing win against Empoli before Christmas. Juventus have drawn 12 and won seven of their 19 matches so far this season after their 1-1 draw with Torino in the Derby della Mole at Olimpico di Torino at the weekend. Juventus are ‘due a defeat’ for want of a more sophisticated phrase and they travel to an Atalanta side ‘due a performance’ with home advantage so siding with the hosts would seem good value.
Atalanta vs Juventus Tip: Double chance – Atalanta to win or draw
