Serie A official line-ups: Atalanta vs. Juventus
Jeremie Boga, Kenan Yildiz and Francisco Conceicao hope to inspire Juventus against Atalanta’s Charles De Ketelaere and Nikola Krstovic in a battle for Champions League places.
It kicks off at the New Balance Arena at 19.45 UK time (20.45 CEST).
This is a head-to-head for top four ambition, as a victory would put Atalanta just one point behind both the Bianconeri and Roma, who won yesterday, all of them closing in on Como.
Juventus are forced into changes, because Weston McKennie is suspended following the 2-0 win over Genoa, plus Dusan Vlahovic, Vasilije Adzic and Mattia Perin out injured.
Michele Di Gregorio returns to goal, having saved a penalty last week to restore his confidence, with Conceicao and Yildiz supporting striker Boga, facing his former club.
Emil Holm takes over from McKennie in a wide right role.
Luciano Spalletti is celebrating the signing of a new contract to remain as Juventus coach until 2028.
Atalanta are climbing up the standings and their only absentee is Isak Hien, so Berat Djimsiti completes the back three today.
Gianluca Scamacca and Giacomo Raspadori are still not at 100 per cent, so Nikola Krstovic is supported by De Ketelaere and Nicola Zalewski.
Atalanta have a surprisingly strong recent record against Juve, unbeaten since the Coppa Italia Final in May 2024, emerging with two big wins and two draws.
That includes eliminating the Bianconeri from the Coppa Italia quarter-final with a 3-0 result in February this year.
