Atalanta vs Juventus prediction: ITALY: Coppa Italia betting tips on match 2024-05-14 19:00.
[p]Six victories in their last seven competitive matches (D1) serves as perfect preparation for the Coppa Italia final for Atalanta, who will face Juventus at the Stadio Olimpico di Roma. It was Roma providing the opposition at the weekend for Atalanta, and La Dea won 2-1 to leave them in pole position to claim a top-five spot in Serie A as they continue to battle on three fronts, with the UEFA Europa League final coming a week on from this clash. [/p]
[p]A hectic schedule with nine matches in a month since May 2nd doesn’t seem to be a burden for Gian Piero Gasperini’s men, who can do something most Atalanta fans won’t have seen in a lifetime by securing their first Coppa Italia crown in 61 years. La Dea will count on their fast starts here as they go in search of history, having opened the scoring in six of their last seven competitive outings and winning the first-half ‘to nil’ on five occasions. [/p]
[p]Record 14-time Coppa Italia winners Juventus saw yet another horrible start to a game when they could only muster a 1-1 draw against an already relegated Salernitana at the weekend, meaning they now travel to Rome winless in six matches (D5, L1). Such a result and run saw Massimiliano Allegri’s side booed off the pitch at the weekend, with a dreadful 15 points in the last 15 Serie A matches simply falling well below the standards of the Italian giants.[/p]
[p]The Coppa Italia has at least been a safe space for Juventus this term, as they have won three of their four such matches (L1) on their way to their 22nd final appearance. The fact that this clash is held in Rome though will hardly help a Juventus side who have failed to win each of their last eight matches away from home (D4, L4), with their last such win coming back in January![/p]
[p]Players to watch: In the absence of their prime striker Gianluca Scamacca, Atalanta will look to Charles De Ketelaere who netted his second career brace in Serie A on Sunday, with six of his last seven goals arriving before the break. Adrien Rabiot rescued Juventus with his late equaliser against Salernitana, while each of his last three goals have come in the second half.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Juventus have conceded before the 30th minute in four of their last five competitive matches. [/p]
