Preview: Atalanta vs Juventus Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Coppa Italia 2025-26

Bergamo is buzzing for a massive game. 

Atalanta host Juventus at the New Balance Arena for a big Coppa Italia quarter-final this Thursday. Raffaele Palladino wants to keep his strong home run going since taking the job in November.

This comes after a tough 0-0 draw against Como, where they held on despite an early red card. The hosts previously swept Genoa aside with four goals to get to this round. They now look to veteran Marten de Roon to run the show against their old rivals.

Atalanta will be without Raoul Bellanova and Mitchel Bakker due to injury. Even so, their disciplined setup makes them a tough nut to crack for any visiting team.

Juventus go into this knockout match with 15 trophies in the cabinet and a point to prove after crashing out early last year. Luciano Spalletti has given the team a new spark since arriving in October. A sensational 4-1 win over Parma showed off their clinical edge and proved they are back on track.

The team are finding goals from all over the pitch, like Gleison Bremer’s recent double, which helps cover for the absence of Dusan Vlahovic and Arkadiusz Milik. History points toward a draw between these two heavyweights. However, since it’s a cup game, someone has to walk away the winner by the final whistle.

Match Prediction:

The numbers point to a close game here. Atalanta have a slight edge with a 39.33% chance to win, while Juventus sits at 33.56%. This lead mostly comes down to how tough Atalanta are to beat at home under Raffaele Palladino. Plus, they possess a knack for scoring early when the pressure is on.

Juventus have usually come out on top in the past. But lately, things look more like a low-scoring grind. Both sides play with a really disciplined back line right now.

Because of that, experts lean toward a 1-1 draw. That fits the usual pattern seen when these two meet in Bergamo. However, we expect Juventus to come out on top in Penalties.

Prediction: Atalanta 1-1 Juventus (Juve to win in a penalty shootout).
