LiontipsAtalanta vs Juventus. Prediction and Betting Tips for Coppa Italia (May 19, 2021).
Command Analysis
Atalanta are having a fantastic season - Gian Piero Gasperini's team currently occupies the second line in the Serie A standings. However, Orobici might lose the silver medals to AC Milan or Napoli, who are just two points behind. In the final round of Serie A, Atalanta will take on the direct competitor, the Rossoneri, and will determine who will take the second place.
But Atalanta are in great form now, and we don't think they will lose the silver to anyone. The last time Gasperini's players lost was way back at the beginning of March, to Inter Milan - who were a bit luckier that time (1:0). A 4:2 victory over Genoa in the final round extended Atalanta's streak without defeats to 10 games, eight of which were victories.
On their road to the Coppa Italia final, Atalanta beat Cagliari, Lazio and Napoli.
Juventus are having their weakest season in a decade. Andrea Pirlo's team was not even a contender for the Scudetto, outright losing the race for the title to Inter Milan. The situation is quite tough: the Old Lady is in danger of being left without the Champions League. At the moment, Juventus are the fifth in the table and one round before the end of the season they are one point behind Napoli and AC Milan.
At the same time, in the last rounds, Juve have shown a strong intention to redeem themselves: after a painful 0:3 defeat from AC Milan at home, the Old Lady won two games in a row. The beaten teams were Sassuolo (3:1) and Inter Milan (3:2) - thanks to these victories Juventus is still in the game to get a ticket to the Champions League.

Tip and bets
Juventus won two games in the last rounds of Serie A, but today the Old Lady will have a much more difficult opponent than Inter Milan, who no longer have any motivation this season, or Sassuolo, who a significantly losing to Juve in class. Atalanta are in great form and thirst for a trophy - if they can't yet win the Scudetto, they will definitely want to claim the Cup.
The opponents met in Serie A already twice this season, and in none of these games Juventus could beat Atalanta - in Turin, the teams drew 1:1, and in Bergamo the hosts were stronger - 1:0. In terms of overall performance, Atalanta look better, and we believe it is worth betting on them.
We believe that the title will go to the Orobici. Our prediction - Atalanta to win.
Atalanta build their game from attack and that often bears fruit - the Orobici are second in the table with 90 scored goals in 37 games - that is the best result in Serie A. We are positive that today Gasperini's team will not change their style, so Juve's defense will have to work hard. At the same time, Juventus' attack can be dangerous, too, so we expect at least three goals tonight.
Our second bet is -total over 2.5 goals
