Team Form and Analysis:
Atalanta, under new manager Ivan Juric, has had a mixed pre-season with two wins and two losses in their last five matches across all competitions. This is a transitional year for them, with key departures and new arrivals.
Juric will be looking for answers, particularly regarding defensive stability, and will be eager to see how his new-look squad performs against a top opponent.
Juventus, meanwhile, has shown positive signs under their confirmed coach, Tudor. Their pre-season has been impressive, with a win against Borussia Dortmund and a draw against Reggiana. With new signings and a confirmed tactical identity, they are eager to start the new season on a high note.
This friendly will be a crucial test for them to fine-tune their tactics and player combinations.
Head-to-Head:
The head-to-head record between these two clubs heavily favors Juventus. In their 46 historical meetings, Juventus has won 20 times, with Atalanta winning only 4, and 12 draws. However, Atalanta did secure a 4-0 victory in their last official Serie A meeting, while the last friendly between the two teams ended in a 0-0 draw.

Prediction:
This match is a great opportunity for both teams to test their readiness for the new season. While Juventus has a dominant historical record, Atalanta’s recent form and home advantage make this an interesting matchup.
It is expected to be a competitive and tightly contested game, with both teams likely to find the back of the net. However, Juventus’s superior squad quality and recent form give them the edge to secure a narrow victory.
