Atalanta have suffered defeats in two consecutive league matches. Last Saturday, the Bergamasques hosted Cagliari. The Islanders started actively and were ahead already in the 19th minute. Gianluca Scamacca's goal helped Sarri's men go into the break level. It was expected that the Goddess would correct the mistakes of the first half and press the opponent in the second, but things turned out quite differently. In the 61st minute the rossoblù were awarded a penalty and converted it successfully. Further attempts by Sarri's men to equalize did not bear fruit. The team lost to Roma by the same score in the previous round. Juventus, after two slip-ups, achieved a crushing victory. In the Europa League, with a 5-0 result, the Turin side beat Dutch NEC Nijmegen. But the previous league round ended in a defeat to Sassuolo. A goalless first half hardly foreshadowed such an active development of events. Sebastiano Esposito's goal put the Neroverdi ahead in the 65th minute. The Bianconeri equalized at 82, but conceded at 89. In the 90+1 minute Jergova again equalized, but his goal was not the last. Three minutes later Ajic capitalized on a catastrophic collapse in Juventus's defense and earned Sassuolo three points. Three times last season the teams met. In the Coppa Italia match the Bergamasques crushed the Turin side 3-0. In the league at the Allianz Stadium there was a productive 1-1 draw, and at the Stadio Azzurri d'Italia the old Lady earned three points with a 0-1 result. Interestingly, the Bianconeri have not beaten Atalanta in Turin in official matches since 2019. In eight games there were six draws and the Bergamaschi won twice. On Thursday Spalletti's charges played a European cup match. It can hardly be described as extremely difficult, but it certainly affected the preparation cycle for the upcoming game. What will have an even bigger impact is the still overflowing Turin infirmary, which greatly complicates rotation. During the European cup match Spalletti did not use four players from the matchday squad (two of whom were goalkeepers). Atalanta, despite all their problems, has a more favorable schedule and far fewer squad issues. Considering all factors, one can suppose that Sarri's charges will be able to resist Juventus. And if they do lose, it will be by no more than one goal.
