Atalanta Preview – Atalanta have the form
It is the fifth appearance in the Coppa Italia final that Atalanta will make in midweek. It’s the second in three years.
They tasted success in their first appearance back in 1963 in the showcase match.
There have been three straight disappointments in the Coppa Italia since then for them.
For Wednesday’s Coppa Italia betting, Atalanta are the 6/4 favourites to claim the win* (odds recorded 18:51 GMT May 17th).
They are certainly running in hot enough form to get their hands on the silverware.
Atalanta are undefeated in their last ten matches in all competitions. It has been a superb W8 D2 record in that run.
During that run, they claimed a 1-0 home win over Juventus in a league fixture.
Atalanta are currently sitting in second place in Serie A with one fixture left of the season there.
So it has been a strong campaign. Can they add some silverware to put some extra shine on it?
They look to have the scoring threat to make a big impact.
Atalanta have scored at least four goals in three of their last five games in all competitions.
They have hit the back of the net in each of their last twelve first-team fixtures.
Over 3.5 goals is at a quote of 7/4 for Coppa Italia betting* (odds recorded 18:51 GMT May 17th).
In the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia, Atalanta claimed a 3-1 aggregate win over Napoli.
Also during the campaign, Atalanta beat Cagliari and Lazio.
In three of their four Coppa Italia fixtures played this season, Atalanta have scored three goals.
In their recent head to head against Juventus, Atalanta are undefeated in three (W1 D2).
The last time that the two clubs met in the Coppa Italia, Atalanta ran out 3-0 winners in January 2019.
Atalanta are in great shape and look full of confidence.
Juventus Preview – Can the Old Lady taste cup success again?
This is the sixth appearance in the Coppa Italia final in the last seven seasons for Juventus.
It is their 20th appearance in the showcase match.
Their overall record from their previous Coppa Italia Final appearances is W13 L6.
In the match outright for Wednesday’s final, Juventus are the 9/5 underdogs* (odds recorded 18:51 GMT May 17th).
In a look at their recent form, the Old Lady have returned a W4 D2 L2 record in all competitions.
One of those defeats was a league fixture against Atalanta in mid-April.
So they have been far from perfect. There is a chance that he will be a little distracted as well.
Juventus are in danger of missing out on the top-four in Serie A as their final game of the season is on Sunday.
That’s going to be a huge blow to them if they miss that. It could be their bigger goal.
Juventus did claim a massively important 3-2 home win over Inter in league action on the weekend.
That kept their top-four hopes alive until the final weekend.
Juventus have scored at least two goals in three of their last four fixtures.
But there hasn’t been a clean sheet from them in any competition since a league win over Spezia on March 2nd.
That’s a run of 14 without one. That leaves them vulnerable to such a powerful Atalanta attacking unit.
