Atalanta vs. Juventus Betting Analysis
A battle betwen the third and fourth place clubs in Serie A will highlight the top-flight league in Italy on Sunday.
Another way of looking at this game is "Offense vs. Defense" as Atalanta has registered a league-best 71 goals on the season but Juventus is tied for the best scoring defense, surrendering just 27 goals in 30 games.
Juventus sits in third with 62 points (18-8-4) while Atalanta (18-7-5) is just one behind at 61 points and both clubs would need a miracle to catch Inter, who sits in first place with 74 points.
However, Milan is in second with 63 points so a runner-up for the season is certainly up for grabs.
Atalanta has found its league form again, winners in four straight and the offense has posted 11 goals during this span.
Meanwhile, Juventus enters this game off back-to-back victories (3-1, 2-1) but a tepid road record of 6-6-2 doesn't create confidence for many.
