LiontipsAtalanta vs Juventus. Predictions and Betting Tips for Serie A
Command Analysis
Atalanta played poorly in the starting segment of the championship, but gradually improved the quality of their football. At the moment, Gian Piero Gasperini's team occupies fourth place in the table with 61 points in the asset, just one point behind their today's rival - Inter has already gone 13 points ahead, securing the leadership.
Atalanta's competitors include Napoli, Roma, and Lazio. Each of them has an equal chance of passage to the Champions League, only the Eagles have six points less, but they have a game in hand. In the second half of the championship, Atalanta gained stability - in 2021 the Bergamaski suffered only two defeats against Lazio (1:3) and Inter (0:1).
In the last round, Atalanta beat Fiorentina 3:2 in a difficult match, extending their winning streak to four matches.
Juventus are having a very weak season - Andrea Pirlo's team was considered the main contender for the Scudetto, but this status has not yet been justified. The Old Lady still have chances of success, but purely theoretical - it is very hard to imagine that Inter will lose 13 points of advantage in the remaining games.
At the same time, Juventus may well compete for silver - the second Milan has only one point more, and this gap can be closed today. After several unsuccessful fights against Benevento (0:1) and Torino (2:2), once again a wave of rumors about a possible successor to Pirlo arose, but in the last rounds, Juve played solidly and, at least for a while, the storm of criticism was a little quieter.
Victories over Napoli (2:1) and Genoa (3:1) allowed Juventus to overtake Atalanta in the standings, but Inter also played flawlessly, so Juve failed to close the distance from the leader.

Tip and bets
Atalanta gained form and managed to get a foothold in the Top-4, but so far they have not guaranteed anything for themselves. Traditionally, the Bergamasks have troubles in defense - in the 29th round, when they almost had the game, Atalanta nearly allowed Udinese to make a comeback (3:2), in the last match they conceded twice from Fiorentina, but also snatched a victory.
Juventus is an experienced team of high class that has something to prove and who are still expected to excel. The Old Lady is quite capable of turning these mistakes into victory. We believe that the guests have a better chance of winning.
Prediction - Asian handicap (0) to Juventus at 2.19
Atalanta is playing attacking football, and it bears fruit - the Bergamasks are the highest-scoring team in Serie A, with an average of 2.37 goals per match. However, this style often leads to mistakes in defense, which Juventus will clearly seek to use. Both teams have a powerful line of attack, so the probability of a high-scoring game is very high.
Our second bet will be total over 3 goals at1.84
