The battle for the Scudetto is reaching boiling point, and tomorrow, two of the biggest contenders go head-to-head in a clash that could have huge implications for the title race. All eyes will be on Juventus as they take on Atalanta in a high-stakes Sunday night showdown.
Juventus have quietly reinserted themselves into the Scudetto race. The Bianconeri are now just six points behind league leaders Inter, making the final stretch of the season all the more intriguing. With 11 games to go, Italy’s top four are locked in a fierce battle, and while Juve have their eyes on the title, securing a Champions League return remains a key objective after their early exit from this season’s competition.
Despite their resurgence in Serie A, Thiago Motta is feeling the heat. His side suffered a gut-wrenching Coppa Italia quarter-final exit at home to struggling Empoli, bowing out on penalties. But in the league, Juventus have been firing on all cylinders. They’ve won five straight Serie A games, and if they extend that streak, they’ll pull level on points with Atalanta. History is on their side too – Juve have lost just two of their last 40 league meetings with Atalanta, both coming in 2021.
That said, under Gian Piero Gasperini, Atalanta have made this fixture a magnet for draws – 11 in 17 encounters since he took charge in Bergamo nearly nine years ago. This weekend, Gasperini will reach a remarkable milestone, tying Roma legend Nils Liedholm for the second-most matches managed at a single Serie A club (332), trailing only the iconic Giovanni Trapattoni (402) of Juventus.
However, questions linger over Gasperini’s future. With Teun Koopmeiners already having swapped Atalanta for Juventus last summer, more big names – most notably Ademola Lookman – could be on their way out at the end of the season. If this is the end of an era for Atalanta, they’ll want to go out in style by delivering the club’s first-ever Scudetto. They’ll need to step it up, though, despite boasting an impressive defensive record – keeping four consecutive Serie A clean sheets for the first time since 2000. Time is running out, and every result now carries extra weight in what is shaping up to be a thrilling race for the title.
