Juventus v Atalanta Betting Tips [11 July 2020]

The free-firing Atalanta coached by Gian Piero Gasperini will make the trip to face league-leaders Juventus looking to solidify their Champions League qualification. The team from Bergamo are currently 4th on 66 points, 15 clear of Roma in 5th while Juventus are seven points ahead at the top of Serie A eyeing their ninth consecutive Scudetto title.  

Juventus’s seven-game winning run in Serie A was ended by AC Milan in midweek as they threw away a two-goal lead to lose 4-2 in the capital. Nonetheless, they still hold a commanding seven-point lead over nearest challengers Lazio. The champions elect remain unbeaten at home in the league this season winning 14 of their 15 games in Turin accumulating 43 points from a possible 45. Maurizzio Sarri’s side have won both of their home matches since lockdown ended and scored four goals in each of those games. 

Atalanta have scored 85 times in the Serie A this season and with seven games to go few would bet against them hitting the century mark. The visitors are in the last eight of the Champions League and are aiming to qualify for a second year in a row with their status looking all but secured in the top-four. Away from home they have won six games on the trot scoring 28 times netting seven goals in two of those matches. Atalanta have also won each of their last 10 games home and away as well as 11 of their last 12 whilst drawing the other and as well as scoring 36 goals in that run they have managed to keep three consecutive clean sheets. 

This game has the potential to be a real barnburner and with Cristiano Ronaldo and Paulo Dybala scroing for fun for Juventus at the minute it's hard to see Atalanta keeping another clean sheet. By the same token it will take an incredible effort for any side to keep Atalanta out therefore I'm tipping both teams to score and over 2.5 goals in this match.
