Juventus — Atalanta : Match Preview and Prediction for September 27,2025

Juventus’ Evolving Style

Igor Tudor’s Juventus presents a fascinating case study, built on an emotional, high-pressing, and decidedly open style of football, a stark contrast to the conservative approach prevalent under Allegri. The ‘Bianconeri’ are now a vibrant, dynamic entity, capable of surprising results. They recently found themselves in a thrilling 4-3 encounter with Inter, managed a dramatic 4-4 comeback in injury time against Borussia at home in the Champions League opener, and in the last league match, the ‘Old Lady’ could only secure a 1-1 draw away against Verona. Both teams scored in the first half, but the Turin side lacked the stamina and energy to overcome the ‘Mastiffs’ on their home ground.

Team Preparation and Absences

However, the ‘dark-whites’ have had a full week of preparation ahead of their clash with Atalanta, another team known for its aggressive pressing. For this crucial match against the Bergamaschi, Juventus will be without Milik and Miretti due to absence.

Atalanta’s Recent Performance

Atalanta, in the post-Gasperini era, is cautiously making its presence felt. Ivan Jurić, a close associate of Gasperini in terms of playing style, and his new charges had a rocky start in the Champions League, suffering a comprehensive 0-4 defeat against PSG. Nevertheless, after two draws at the start of the domestic league campaign, Atalanta delivered two emphatic victories: a 4-1 win at home against Lecce, and last week, the Bergamaschi successfully troubled Torino in Turin, demolishing them 3-0. A brace from Krstović and a goal from Sulemana effectively knocked out the ‘Granata’ in the first half. Now, a week later, they face another trip to Turin, this time against a more prestigious and dynamic Juventus side. The visitors will be without Zalewski, Bakker, Kolašinac, Hien, and Scalvini, while Scamacca, De Ketelaere, and Ederson are doubtful. Despite these significant absences, a week’s rest should allow Jurić’s team to recover and prepare fully for the battle against Juve.
