Team News

Juventus
Atalanta
  • The postponement of the Serie A encounter against Atalanta granted Juventus some rest in an otherwise busy period, which might be crucial in order to avoid further injury issues in attack.
  • With the trio of Juan Cuadrado, Gonzalo Higuain and Federico Bernardeschi still out, Massimiliano Allegri will not have too many options up front.
  • Atalanta will benefit even more from the previous postponement as their calendar won't be as busy once this game will be rescheduled.
  • Gian Piero Gasperini will be without a couple of potential starters in Andrea Petagna and Rafael Tolói, but Andreas Cornelius and José Luis Palomino are ready to come into the starting XI.

Prediction

  • Juventus could take advantage of the unexpected rest from Sunday in the short term, but adding a game later in the year and possibly losing rhythm might have a negative effect. They will be able to keep concentration levels high despite not playing at the weekend, however.
  • Atalanta are on the verge of building on an already incredible previous season. Now that the Europa League is over for them and they're aware of the strength of their rivals in the league, reaching the Coppa Italia final will be their number one target.
  • Seeing Juventus lose at home and throw away 1-0 lead from the first leg would be a surprise. The Bianconeri have the tools to control the game, but Atalanta have been scaring big teams over the last 18 months.
