For the 14th game of the Italian SerieA, Juventus welcomes Atalanta at the Allianz Stadium.
Juventus without impressing prevailed in the previous match of Lazio in Rome with 2-0. A fair victory for Allegri's team, defensively risked little while scoring with two accurate penalties in 23΄ and 83΄ to get its second consecutive victory in the league. So it somewhat reduced the difference from the first place reaching 21 points herself and 6th place against 32 that the first Napoli has.
Midweek in the context of the 5th match of the Champions League group, Juventus was defeated in London by Chelsea 4-0. As the final score shows, he lost with his hands down, making a bad appearance while he could have conceded more goals. Apart from the prestige, however, he did not lose anything else as well has qualified for the round of 16 of the tournament.
Easy victory for Atalanta last week in Bergamo against Spezia with 5-2. She may have been left behind in the score at 11΄ but then she was impressive and until the halftime break she had managed to score 3 goals. In the second half he missed opportunities, he finally found two more goals in the last ten minutes and the guests simply managed to score the goal that formed the final result in the delays. This was the fourth victory in the last six matches for Gasperini's team that brings it to 4th place with 25 points.
Another exciting match for Atalanta, on Tuesday for the Champions League a 3-3 draw emerged in Bern with Young Boys and stayed in the qualifying round, with a victory in the last match against Villarreal will qualify for the next phase of the tournament.
Juventus is not convincing from the beginning of the year, neither with the football it plays nor, of course, with the results. Atalanta, on the other hand, seems to be gaining momentum lately, is running an unbeaten streak of 6 games and is always capable in every match. I expect a match at a fast pace and many phases between two teams that score and concede goals with ease.
