Atalanta vs Juventus Predictions and Betting Tips
Sassuolo’s Mapei Stadium hosts this year's Coppa Italia final as Atalanta and Juventus go at each other looking to etch their names onto the coveted cup. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.
Atalanta has certainly proven to be worthy opponents for the Old Lady, losing just once to the Turin-based side in their last seven encounters. They recently beat the outgoing champions 1-0 in the Serie A and would certainly be keen on doing the same to secure a family victory.
Cup glory in sights
Le Dea got the better of Cagliari and Lazio before Napoli in a two-legged semifinal. They head into this game in decent form, losing none of their last 10 games. Although they have a dicey final game clash with Milan this coming weekend, their focus would certainly be on Wednesday’s clash as they look to win only their second Coppa Italia title. In their most recent game, they picked up three huge points beating Genoa 4-3.
Juventus, on the other hand, haven’t only lost the league title, they find themselves on the brink of missing out on Champions League football next season. However, this would be a chance to add yet another to the 13 Coppa Italia titles they already have. The Old Lady went on to eliminate SPAL and Genoa, before beating Internazionale in a two-legged tie in the last four.

Atalanta vs Juventus Prediction: 1-1
Although Juventus still have to qualify for the UCL to, in a way, save face, they would certainly be looking to secure yet another Coppa Italia title. Atalanta, just like their opponents wouldn’t also be gunning for their first title in over 50 years. As such, we would be sitting on the fence for this one with both sides expected to give a good account of themselves.
