Juventus vs Atalanta | Preview and Expected Lineups

Juventus returns to the Allianz Stadium this Saturday, 27 September, to face Atalanta in what promises to be an exciting Serie A encounter. Kick-off is set for 18:00 CEST, with both teams eager to claim vital points in the league.

This matchup carries historical significance and intriguing statistics that add depth to the upcoming fixture. Among the Serie A teams Juventus has faced over 100 times, Atalanta is one of only two sides—alongside Udinese—against whom the Bianconeri have suffered the fewest defeats, losing just 14 times.

This stat reflects the competitive balance between the clubs. The home form of Juventus is formidable. In 2025, the Bianconeri have won 10 of their last 11 Serie A matches at Allianz Stadium, boasting an impressive 91% home win rate.

This is one of the highest across Europe’s top-five leagues, matching Monaco’s record. Juventus also arrives at this game on the back of six consecutive home victories. Should they secure a seventh, it would mark their best winning streak at home since early 2021.

Juventus’ attacking strength is highlighted by Dusan Vlahovic. Who has scored four of his last five league goals after coming off the bench. Meanwhile, Kenan Yildiz stands out for his influence since March 2025, contributing to more Serie A goals than any other player—15 in total, with eight goals and seven assists.

In his recent six games alone, Yildiz has been involved in seven goals, demonstrating his growing importance.

Atalanta’s challenge and tactical notes

Atalanta is no pushover, either. Since Charles De Ketelaere joined the team in the 2023/24 season, only Lautaro Martinez and Dusan Vlahovic have managed more multi-goal games than him. Nicola Krstovic has also been a key figure, tallying two goals and three assists this season, making him one of the top contributors in Serie A.

Veteran Marten de Roon recently celebrated his 400th appearance for Atalanta. His last league goal was famously scored against Juventus, adding an extra layer of motivation to this fixture.

Coach Ivan Juric faces a tough task; he has won only 14% of his Serie A games against Juventus, a record bettered only by matches against Inter and Roma. Interestingly, Juric and Juventus coach Igor Tudor are the only Croatian managers currently active in Serie A, adding a subtle subplot to this encounter.
