Looking at the recent form alone, the two sides are not at the same level at all, Atalanta has won 6 and drawn 1 in the last 7 games, and Juve has not won 6 consecutive matches, no matter how you look at Juve, it is not the opponent of Atalanta, who is in hot form.
But will the truth be that simple? Don't be fooled by appearances, and then I will analyze this game in depth for everyone.
The first thing to pay attention to is Atalanta's fitness problems, Atalanta have been fighting on three fronts recently, and they can't relax on each line, not only did they reach the final of the Coppa Italia, but they also had to face the invincible Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League final next week, and the league also had to guarantee Champions League qualification in the top five.
But under such a dense schedule, the consumption is also particularly large, you know, Atalanta has an average distance of 112.99 kilometers per game, second only to Lazio and second in Serie A. They had just beaten Roma in the crucial match for Champions League qualification in the last round, with 24 shots on goal and five great chances, such a good performance, it must have been an overdraw of a lot of physical strength, and after only three days of rest, can Atalanta return to full form?
From a technical and tactical point of view, Atalanta are not a pass-and-possession team in their own right, and their greatest strength is their ability to convert quickly and from set-pieces, with five quick counter-attacks and 12 set-pieces this season being the third best in Serie A.
Juventus's team, don't look at the offense is very constipated, but Allegri's tactics of playing hard have a very good defensive effect.
Juve have conceded just six set-pieces this season, and none have been conceded on the counter-attack. Although Juve's several central defenders are rough in technique, their anti-air and set-piece defense capabilities are very reliable, and the defense line with deep squatting will not give the opponent any space to counterattack.
The data gives the two sides an equal attitude, who is strong and who is weak in this game is basically clear at a glance, why can't Atalanta get any advantage in such a good state? Isn't this a deliberate attempt to lower the barrier to entry in Atlanta? Iron doesn't believe in this kind of good thing, this time it still supports Juventus, at least it can survive the regular time!
