JAKARTA - Juventus and Atalanta BC will clash at Allianz Stadium, Saturday night, September 227, in Serie A. Both are unbeaten in the league this season, and this match could determine who deserves to be at the top.

Despite having encountered obstacles, Juventus' start under coach Igor Tudor was relatively positive with a collection of 10 points. The Bianconeri are still unbeaten in all competitions, although last weekend only drew 1-1 against Hellas Verona. Francisco Conceicao had put Juve ahead, but Gift Orban's controversial penalty goal forced them home with one point.

However, Juventus have a flashy home record. They have won six consecutive wins at Serie A at Allianz Stadium since last season, and 10 wins from the last 11 matches as hosts. The only stain came from Atalanta, who shaved 4-0 Juve in March.

Atalanta himself came with confidence in capital. Ivan Juric's team are unbeaten in Serie A, and have just beaten Torino 3-0 thanks to Nikola Krstovic's brace. Their away record impressed, losing only once to the last 18 league games, with 11 clean sheets. Even at Allianz Stadium, La Dea was unbeaten in the last seven trips.

However, the storm of injuries haunts the Atalanta camp. Ederson, Giorgio Scalvini, Sead Kolasinac, Nicola Zalewski, Isak Hien, and Gianluca Scamacca are confirmed to be absent. Even so, the return of Ademola Lookman could be an additional injection of energy to support Krstovic and Charles De Ketelaere in the front lines.

From the Juventus camp, Gleison Bremer is expected to fill the back line again after being absent last week. Meanwhile, the competition at the front was quite hot: Jonathan David, Dusan Vlahovic, and Lois Openda competed for one position. Vlahovic performed outstanding as a supersub with five goals from three appearances from the bench, but David was more often trusted by starters.

Although Atalanta has an impressive away record, the storm of injuries can make it difficult for them in Turin. Juventus with a sharper front line option are predicted to be able to secure three points even though it will not be easy.

Estimated Lineup Juventus (3-4-2-1): Di Gregorio; Gatti, Bremer, Kelly; Kalulu, Thuram, Locatelli, Cambiaso; Conceicao, Yildiz; David.

Atalanta (3-4-1-2): Carnesecchi; Kossounou, Djimsiti, Ahanor; Bellanova, De Roon, Musah, Zappacosta; Pasic; De Ketelaere, Krstovic.

Prediction Of Juventus Score 2-1 Atalanta
