Juventus have had a tough season and they are coming from their heaviest defeat yet, a 4-0 loss at Chelsea in the Champions League. They are set to host Atalanta in the 14th round of Serie A, with four points separating the two sides. Juventus are eighth with 21 points and fourth placed Atalanta have 25 points. Before their loss to Chelsea, Juventus had only failed to score in one game – their Match Day 2 Serie A loss to Empoli. That loss also brought to an end a three-game winning run. At least two goals have been scored in four of Juventus’ last five matches, and going to this game three of their last five games have seen over 2.5 goals scored. At home, they have three wins, a loss and a draw in their last five league matches, while both teams have scored in three of the five matches.

Atalanta are unbeaten in their last seven matches, but four of them have ended in draws. Their most recent game was a 3-3 draw with Young Boys in the Champions League, another depiction of their troubles in defence and strength in attack. They twice led against Young Boys but the defence let them down again and they needed a late Luis Muriel goal to force a draw in a game they led 2-1 going into the final 10 minutes. Atalanta have now conceded two or more goals in four of their last five matches. Each of their last six matches has ended in over 2.5 goals and the fact that they have no clean sheet in 10 straight games should be a concern. Both sides have scored in Atalanta’s last 10 matches.
