Juventus and Atalanta BC remain in contention for an unlikely Serie A title as they prepare for a high-stakes showdown at the Allianz Stadium.
While Juventus have revived their Scudetto hopes with five straight league wins, Atalanta’s poor start to 2025 continued last week. With Inter Milan and Napoli still leading the way, neither of these teams can be entirely ruled out from the title race.
📅 Match Date: March 10, 2025
⏰ Kickoff Time: 1:30 AM
🏟 Venue: Allianz Stadium, Turin
Match Preview
Juventus’ Revival
After a sluggish start to the season, Juventus are making a late push for the Serie A title. Aided by Napoli’s recent dip in form, the Bianconeri are now only six points behind leaders Inter Milan.
Despite exiting the Coppa Italia last week in a disappointing penalty shootout loss to Empoli, Juve bounced back with a 2-0 win over Hellas Verona, extending their league winning streak to five matches.
One of their key players, Khephren Thuram, has been in red-hot form, reaching a personal best of seven goal involvements this season (three goals, four assists).
🔹 Key Stat: Juventus last won six consecutive Serie A matches at the start of 2023.
Atalanta’s Struggles
Atalanta, on the other hand, have failed to capitalize on their chances. Their 1-1 draw against Venezia last weekend cost them the opportunity to close the gap on Inter.
Although Gian Piero Gasperini remains one of Serie A’s most experienced managers, uncertainty surrounds his future at the club. With Ademola Lookman’s future also in doubt, Atalanta could be approaching the end of an era.
While they have kept four consecutive Serie A clean sheets for the first time since 2000, their failure to convert chances against struggling teams has been costly.
🔹 Key Stat: Atalanta have recorded the most open-play goals in Serie A this season (45), but Juventus have conceded the fewest goals (12).
