The Italian Serie A has quite a long way to go, as we are just stepping into the 7th matchday, so we are eager to see how early form affects later in the season. Until now, many teams are already showing preoccupying signs, like Roma, Lazio, Napoli, and Udinese.
This is going to be quite a fun match, as we are getting the 3rd and 4th placed teams facing each other for the enjoyment of all football fans, and of course, to see who comes out on top with 3 points in the bag.
Atalanta, the currently 4th placed team on the scoreboards, is going to be playing host in this clash, and they come in with a record of 4 wins, no draws, and 2 losses in their current run.
Their opponents, Juventus, come in as the 3rd spot, being one point higher due to 4 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss so far.
Things are exciting every time the Serie A teams get into the field, but to see how things go during the season as the teams are getting into their best form is quite a delight, and we are getting ready to break down what should be unfolding this next Sunday.

Where Can I Watch it?
Why Bet on Atalanta?
It is well-known that Gian Piero Gasperini has not been happy with the way his Atalanta side has performed so far this season. There have been some very mixed results – against some of the weaker teams in Serie A – and ‘La Dea’ needs to improve if it will push for Europe again.
The Bergamo club may have lost several key players over the summer, but there have been some big arrivals too and form needs to improve.
Why Bet on Juventus?
Max Allegri is still trying to work out which players he should be sending out onto the pitch. The ‘replacements’ that came in for the game against high-flying Lecce did very well and have pushed themselves into contention for another chance this weekend.
That win on Tuesday helped the ‘Vecchia Signora’ to climb up into second place in the Serie A, albeit temporarily, and make something of a mockery of the criticism faced by Allegri and his players.
That being said, Juventus have not been the most exciting team to watch this season and there is some definite room for improvement.
Final Betting Analysis: Atalanta vs. Juventus
With Juve also not on top form, this game could be a very interesting encounter, with a good chance that fans of both sides will be celebrating some goals. Ademola Lookman looks most likely to score for the home side and a bet on him to find the net at any time could be profitable.
Juventus may not come away from Bergamo will all three points, but a more attacking look might make for a captivating game.
Gian Piero Gasperini may look to change a few things around after the game against Verona on Wednesday. But he does have a few injuries to some key players and could make minimal alterations for this visit of Juventus.
With everything placed into consideration, we are expecting a draw in this match.
Look for a win on the Moneyline Draw. For example, if you put $100 on a draw at +244, you’ll see a $244 win with a total payout of $344.
