Juventus vs Atalanta match preview

Juventus are currently in an unusually fourth place on the Serie A table with 23 points from their opening 11 games. However, the Old Lady are yet to suffer defeat in the Italian top division this campaign. Andrea Pirlo's men recorded a 3-1 win over Genoa on Sunday thanks to two penalties from talisman Cristiano Ronaldo after Paulo Dybala opened the scoring. 

The defending champions also have the joint-best defensive record in the Serie A as they've shipped in only nine goals so far. The Bianconeri are still four points behind league leaders AC Milana and will be hoping to make it three wins in three Serie A games on Wednesday night. 

On the other hand, Atalanta are in ninth place in the Serie A standings with 17 points from their 10 games. Gian Piero Gasperini's men appear to have continued from where they left off last season with their free-flowing goals. The Bergamo-based side have scored 21 goals in the league this season and put three of them past Fiorentina during a 3-0 win last on Sunday.

The visitors will head to Turin as underdogs but have the players to cause an upset and hand Juventus their first league defeat of the campaign. Like Juventus, Atalanta also secured a spot in the last 16 of the Champions League.
