Juventus v Atalanta Betting Tips
It is a solid position for Juventus at the moment to be in holding a 1-0 lead from the first leg. Now they are heading back home for the second leg they will be expected to hold onto the advantage that they have earned. They have only lost one game at home this season in all competitions and they’ve won four of their last five there (D1). They are such a strong home side and before Tottenham played out a 2-2 draw in Turin in the Champions League recently, Juventus had taken a clean sheet in their seven previous home games. Juventus to win to nil at BetVictor is at 11/8 odds* (Betting Odds taken at 11:18 p.m. on February 25th, 2018). Juve are such an efficient machine on home soil really and you kind of just always expect them to go out and get the job done. In the correct score market, the 1-0 home win option is at the head of the market and there have been a lot of tight meetings between these two clubs recently.
There was a 2-2 draw between them in the league at Atalanta earlier this season which was the scoreline in last season’s corresponding fixture there as well. They did meet up in the Coppa Italia last season and Juventus took a one-goal margin victory at home over them there. A Juventus to win by a one-goal margin in this current meeting is at 11/5* (Betting Odds taken at 9:22 p.m. on February 25th, 2018). Overall in the head to head between the two clubs, Juventus absolutely dominat things as they are 32-4 ahead with the eleven drawn matches. In the Coppa Italia things are a little tighter though. This is the seventh game between them in the Coppa Italia and Juventus are 3-2 up with the one drawn match from those previous clashes.
Atalanta do have it in them to haul themselves back into this tie. They have only lost one of her last nine games now away from home in all competitions, and that defeat was a 3-2 loss out at Borussia Dortmund in the first leg of their Europa League clash in the round of 32 back in February 15th. Atalanta have scored at least two goals in six of their last seven away games which is a really good return for them and so they will still fancy their chances of at least making this interesting. Both teams to score at Bet Victor is at 11/10 odds* (Betting Odds taken at 11:18 p.m. on February 25th, 2018) if you fancy backing the visitors to get on the board. It may be worth a flutter too as they have only failed to score in one away game all season in all competitions. That having been said, they have just the two clean sheets on their travels all term. Can they claw their way back into this?
