In SportsMole’s assessment, Juventus appear to have more quality than Maurizio Sarri’s Atalanta side and are more familiar with Spalletti’s methods. This led the media to estimate a home win rather than the expectation of a high-scoring game.
Form and timing add weight to the Battle of Turin

Lineup and detailed lineup
Juventus’ squad has not yet been confirmed. Injuries remain a factor in the draft and Spalletti did not hold a pre-match press conference. Additional reports suggest Juventus may again use a 3-4-2-1 formation, but any lineup has yet to be confirmed ahead of kick-off.
Atalanta will face Juventus under Maurizio Sarri after two consecutive defeats. With both teams looking to go into the break in better shape, the team’s options and ability to manage the tactical balance of the game could be decisive.
