Atalanta vs Juventus Predictions

• Both sides are conceding under a goal a game on average
• Three of their last five games have ended with under 2.5 goals
• Seven of their last eight meetings have either finished a draw or decided by one goal

Edgy tie expected at the Stadio Atleti Azzurri dItalia

Atalanta host Juventus in the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia. Of the two sides, Juventus arrive in better form, having won three of their last five matches, while Atalanta have won just one of their last five. However, the hosts have been solid at home, winning three of their last five matches in Bergamo.

Both teams boast strong defensive records, averaging under a goal conceded per game in the league, with Juventus allowing 18 goals in 23 matches and Atalanta 20 in 23. Both sides tend to adopt a pragmatic, possession-based approach, and with a place in the semi-finals up for grabs, a tight contest looks likely. Under 2.5 goals has landed in three of Atalanta’s last five matches, and the same applies to Juventus.

Meetings between the two are often close, with seven of the last eight encounters either ending in a draw or being decided by a single goal. Of those eight, five have finished under 2.5 goals. Everything points to this being a slow burner, making under 2.5 goals the recommended bet.

Juventus arrive in slightly better form, including notable wins over Napoli and Benfica in recent weeks, and they get the nod to edge this one 1–0.
