Serie A 2022-23: Atalanta vs Juventus: Predicted lineup, injury news, head-to-head, telecast

Fifth-placed in the league table welcome third-placed Juventus to the Gewiss Stadium on Sunday.

It all comes down to this for these two teams with five points separating the clubs in the Serie A table, with only five games remaining this term, a win this weekend would see Juventus all but secure a top-four finish and qualify for next season’s UEFA Champions League. On Sunday, Atalanta will take on Juventus in a Serie A game at their home ground. Atalanta is aiming to repeat their recent triumph over Spezia, where they dominated possession with 56%, had 14 shots on goal, and scored three goals by Marten de Roon, Davide Zappacosta, and Luis Muriel. Spezia, on the other hand, managed to score twice through Emmanuel Gyasi and Mehdi Bourabia.

In their last six games, Atalanta have been involved in high-scoring matches, averaging 3.33 goals per game, with 12 of those goals scored by Atalanta. However, it’s uncertain if this trend will continue against Juventus. Juventus won their last game against Lecce, with 55% possession, 16 shots on goal, and two goals from Leandro Paredes and Dušan Vlahović.

However, Juventus has been struggling defensively, conceding in their last six games. Undoubtedly this game will be one of the most important of this 34th Serie A matchday. Juventus are very close to securing their place in the UEFA Champions League for next season, so a win and a slip up by Lazio could put them in second place in the standings. On the other hand, Atalanta is in the UEFA Europa League, however, they still have a chance to get into the UEFA Champions League, but for this, they need a defeat of Inter Milan and a win against Juventus.
