Atalanta vs Juventus


Match preview

Perhaps suffering a hangover from their mid-season trip to Saudi Arabia, where they were knocked out of the Supercoppa by Inter Milan in the semi-finals, Atalanta were fortunate to avoid defeat on their return to Italian soil.


Even Gian Piero Gasperini admitted that luck was on La Dea's side on Saturday afternoon as mid-table Udinese hit the woodwork twice in the first half.


The result leaves the Bergamaschi off the pace at the midway point of the Serie A campaign, but they are still very much in contention for their first ever Scudetto.


After a run of 12 wins from 13 games - including wins over Napoli and AC Milan - Atalanta are now on a three-match winless run as they head into a crucial few weeks that could decide their fate.


Last season's Europa League winners have a couple of Champions League games coming up at the end of the month - the first away to Barcelona - and two tough league fixtures before they face Bologna in the Coppa Italia quarter-finals.


Ahead of their visit to title rivals Napoli next weekend, Gasperini's men will be looking for a 15th consecutive Serie A win when they take on Juventus.
