Both unbeaten in Serie A, Juventus and Atalanta BC will vie for victory on Saturday evening, as they go toe-to-toe at Allianz Stadium.
Playing in Turin for the second straight week, the visitors trail Juve by two points but can now overtake them with a win.
While there have been bumps in the road for Juventus this term, Igor Tudor‘s start to life as permanent head coach has gone relatively well so far, with 10 points on the board in Serie A.
Still undefeated in all competitions, Juve were held to a disappointing 1-1 draw by Hellas Verona last weekend, in a rather more prosaic contest than their previous two matches.
Following a spectacular 4-3 win over Inter Milan in the Derby d’Italia and an incredible eight-goal Champions League draw with Borussia Dortmund, Tudor’s side were ultimately left frustrated.
Though Juve have won 10 of their last 11 Serie A matches as hosts, their sole setback during that time was a 4-0 humbling by Atalanta in March, which spelled the end for former coach Thiago Motta.
Indeed, Atalanta boast an unusually impressive record at Allianz Stadium, where they are unbeaten in seven league visits.
Home or away, they have lost just one of their last 11 Serie A clashes with Juventus, so fear should not be a factor this weekend.
Both teams have averaged at least two goals per game so far – and neither has quite managed to solve their issues at the back – so entertainment should be on the cards.
