As previously mentioned, the last meeting between these two sides resulted in a 1-1 draw in Bergamo, as Mateo Retegui fired in a 78th-minute equaliser after Pierre Kalulu had given Juve the lead early on in the second half.
Juventus are having a solid season under Thiago Motta, as they are just six points behind top of the table Inter Milan on 52 points from 27 matches, the only slight criticism of the Old Lady is that they have drawn 13 matches, as many as they have won in Serie A, however, they have only suffered one defeat across the whole league campaign.
Their Coppa Italia performance was below par, as they suffered a shock defeat to Empoli on penalties in the quarter-final after a 1-1 draw. In the previous round, they had eased past Cagliari 4-0.
In the UEFA Champions League, Juventus finished 20th in the Group Stage, accumulating 12 points from eight matches, having beaten PSV (3-1), RB Leipzig (3-2) and Manchester City (2-0), while drawing with Lille (1-1), Aston Villa (0-0) and Club Brugge (0-0) and losing to Stuttgart (1-0) and Benfica (2-0).
Motta’s side were knocked out of Europe’s premier competition in the Round of 32 as they suffered a shock 4-3 aggregate defeat to PSV.
On the other hand, Atalanta are just three points off top of the table Inter Milan with 11 games to go, seeing them in with a possibility of a shock title charge.
Gian Piero Gasperini’s side will be solely focussing on Serie A this campaign, as they suffered a disappointing exit to Bologna (1-0) in the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia after thrashing 6-1 in the Round of 16.
As far as the Champions League goes, they finished ninth in the Group Stage, just one point short of eighth-place Aston Villa with 15 points from eight matches. This saw them face off against Club Brugge in the Round of 32, which produced a major shock, as the Belgian Pro League side emerged victorious via a 5-2 aggregate scoreline.
