Serie A has been a hotbed of unpredictability in recent years, with four different teams lifting the Italian championship in the past five seasons. This season is no different, as the race for the Scudetto is shaping up to be another nail-biter with three teams vying for the coveted title. Atalanta are right in the mix, but after back-to-back draws, they’ll be eager to get back on track when they face Juventus tomorrow.
Before Christmas, Atalanta were flying high, riding on a remarkable 12-match domestic winning streak that had fans dreaming big. However, the momentum has hit a snag in recent weeks. La Dea have stumbled in their last two Serie A outings, sharing points with Lazio and Udinese. To make matters worse, a Supercoppa Italiana semifinal defeat to Inter Milan has left both players and fans feeling deflated. Despite the recent setbacks, all hope is far from lost. Atalanta sit just five points behind league leaders Napoli, who have played an extra game. A victory over Juventus at the Gewiss Stadium could be the perfect remedy to reignite their campaign and restore belief in their Scudetto charge.
However, Juventus have proven to be a tough nut to crack this season. While their tally of just seven Serie A wins might not scream dominance, the Bianconeri faithful are fully backing new manager Thiago Motta. And why wouldn’t they? Under his guidance, Juve remain the only unbeaten team in the league. Across Europe’s top five leagues, they've lost just twice all season—a stat they share with Liverpool, making them one of the hardest teams to beat. That said, turning resilience into victories has been their Achilles’ heel. Juventus have struggled to close out games, leading to an incredible 12 draws so far. In their last five Serie A matches alone, they’ve managed only one win, with the other four ending in stalemates.
