Ten-man Atalanta survives late Juventus onslaught to get a draw in Turin Ten-man Atalanta held Juventus to a 1-1 draw in Turin this evening, surviving a wave of late pressure from the home side. Both clubs came into the match unbeaten, and the intensity from the opening whistle reflected their determination to preserve that record. ............ The deadlock was broken in added time at the end of the opening period, with Atalanta striking a blow just before the interval. While Juventus may have felt unfortunate to trail after an evenly balanced half, matches at this level often hinge on small details and the ability of managers to reset their teams through tactical adjustments. The restart saw Atalanta continue to pose a threat on the counter, even as Juventus pushed forward in search of an equaliser. The Bianconeri dominated possession and territory, yet clear openings proved elusive against a disciplined defensive structure put in place by Ivan Juric. ............ The turning point came midway through the second half when Juan Cabal, introduced from the bench, found the net just two minutes after his arrival. His goal provided Juventus with the lifeline they were chasing, sparking belief in the home crowd and adding further urgency to their attacks. Atalanta’s task became even more difficult shortly afterwards when they were reduced to ten men. From that point, it was relentless Juventus pressure, wave after wave of attacks driven by their substitutes. Edon Zhegrova, in particular, played a central role in creating opportunities, yet the breakthrough never arrived. ............ .

Yildiz surprises Juventus legend Del Piero before Atalanta game Juventus star Kenan Yildiz surprised legendary Alessandro Del Piero on the sidelines during the warm-up of today’s Serie A game against Atalanta. ............ The former striker was talking to CBS Sports before kick-off, and Yildiz unexpectedly arrived from behind to hug him. Del Piero was caught unprepared, but smiled and hugged the Turkish star before continuing to preview the match. ............

Antonio Cabrini says Juventus recent results show something is wrong Former Juventus defender Antonio Cabrini has expressed his concerns about the club’s recent performances, arguing that their 4-4 draw against Borussia Dortmund highlighted significant defensive shortcomings. Cabrini believes that a result of this nature is a sign that something is not functioning properly within the team. ............ Reflecting on Juventus’ current struggles, Cabrini emphasised the need for a return to balance and control. He said: “I expect a tight match. 4-4? That’s not football. When a team like Juve concedes three or four goals, it’s clear they’re lacking something defensively. We need to work to regain solidity. I liked the 2-0 or 1-0 results, typical of a balanced team.” Cabrini’s words underscore the contrast between Juventus’ past reputation for defensive resilience and their recent vulnerability. He stresses that victories earned through narrow margins and clean sheets often reflect a team with strong tactical structure and focus, something that appears to be missing at present. ............ Manager Igor Tudor will be eager to address these defensive lapses quickly. For Juventus to achieve their ambitions this season, they must re-establish themselves as a side capable of shutting out their opponents. Without defensive stability, even the strongest attacking displays will struggle to secure consistent victories. The recent sequence of results demonstrates the urgency of making improvements at the back. Conceding goals so frequently risks undermining the progress made earlier in the campaign, and it places additional pressure on the forwards to outscore opponents rather than controlling games. ............ .

Official: Conceiçao dropped as Tudor names Juventus squad list for Atalanta clash Juventus confirm Francisco Conceiçao won’t be available for today’s Serie A match against Atalanta. ............ Coach Igor Tudor said on Friday that the Portugal international had been dealing with minor fitness issues in previous days, so his availability for the match against Atalanta was uncertain. ............ Several sources in Italy claim that Vasilje Adzic will start as an attacking midfielder alongside Kenan Yildiz today, while Lois Openda will play as a lone striker for the Old Lady. Conceiçao only returned to action last week, scoring a goal in Juventus’ 1-1 away draw at Hellas Verona. ............ .

Tudor insists there are enough matches for his strikers to all get game time Juventus currently have at least three strikers available in its squad, excluding Arkadiusz Milik. This has prompted some observers to suggest that the club should consider playing with two strikers together in the same game, as it might allow them to make better use of their attacking options. At present, Igor Tudor alternates between Dusan Vlahovic, Jonathan David, and Lois Openda, typically selecting one of them at a time. ............ Despite the ongoing discussion, Tudor seems content with the system currently in place. He has shown no concern about potentially underusing his attacking players and is confident that there will be enough opportunities for everyone across a demanding season. He maintains that rotation is essential and that each striker will have their chance to contribute meaningfully. Tudor explained his thinking by saying: “I don’t know the answer based on the statistics. I think about it, I try, we talk, we reason, and we make decisions. You do everything a coach can. I have three strong forwards and we choose based on the games, even the new ones need to be known. There will be room for everyone, it’s a long season. I’m happy to have three strong players.” ............ As an experienced manager, Tudor is unlikely to make changes that could disrupt the stability of his team. While many would like to see two strikers deployed at once, he has chosen to rely on a system that provides consistency and tactical flexibility. By rotating his options, he ensures that each forward stays sharp, motivated, and prepared for when they are called upon. ............ .

Tudor did not learn anything new from Juventus draw against Verona Igor Tudor was not surprised by Juventus’ recent run of results, which included draws with Verona and Borussia Dortmund after a victory against Inter Milan. The Bianconeri have worked hard to maintain their unbeaten record this season, though many expected them to claim all three points against Verona last weekend. The dropped points raised questions about whether lessons could be taken from the performance, but Tudor downplayed that idea. ............ “It left us with the usual football routine, with some good and some less good things. Nothing new in particular. We’ve made a good start and are working hard. Now we’re getting to know the new players.” His comments point to a pragmatic view of the season so far, acknowledging both positives and areas to improve while emphasising that his team is still adapting to changes within the squad. ............ Juventus remain unbeaten, but every match presents a different challenge, and consistency will be crucial if they are to sustain momentum. Dropped points against Verona serve as a reminder that results cannot be taken for granted, even when expectations are high. For Tudor, the focus is on ensuring his players continue to work hard while building cohesion with the new additions to the squad. While Atalanta may pose a different kind of test compared to Verona, the manager will look to refine his side’s approach and keep their unbeaten record intact. ............ .

Igor Tudor could hand impressive teenager a start in Juventus next game Vasilije Adzic has been developing steadily at Juventus and has made a notable impression when given opportunities on the pitch. Although he has yet to start a game this season, the minutes he has played have demonstrated his quality and potential, earning the attention of manager Igor Tudor. With a demanding week ahead, featuring three fixtures in seven days, Juventus are considering giving some of their key players rest, opening the door for Adzic to start against Atalanta this weekend. ............ Tudor is contemplating handing Adzic a starting role in attacking midfield for the upcoming clash with La Dea, while Francisco Conceicao may be rested. The decision reflects the club’s need to manage player workloads as the season intensifies, as well as the manager’s confidence in Adzic’s ability to perform at a high level. This could provide a crucial opportunity for the young attacker, who has been waiting patiently for his chance to start a game for the men in black and white. Adzic appears mentally prepared to seize the opportunity should it arise. His brief appearances this season have been impressive. Tudor’s consideration of starting Adzic indicates that the manager values the player’s potential to contribute meaningfully when given game time, particularly in a squad rotation scenario. ............ As Juventus navigate a congested schedule, balancing the workload of their key players while maintaining competitive performance is essential. Allowing Adzic to start could not only provide rest for established starters but also help integrate him further into the first-team setup. The club must evaluate whether he is the best option for the role, taking into account both his development and the team’s tactical requirements. ............ .

Juventus vs Atalanta: Preview and Prediction Juventus have enjoyed a solid start to the new season ahead of the big game against Atalanta, and Igor Tudor’s appointment as the permanent manager is paying dividends. Having started the new campaign in full swing, the Bianconeri have collected 19 points out of a possible 12 in Serie A so far, having dropped their first set last weekend. Before last weekend, Tudor’s men had a few challenging outings, including a top-notch 4-3 win over title rivals Inter Milan. However, when they went away to Hellas Verona, it turned out to be tougher than anticipated as Francisco Conceicao’s opener was cancelled out by Gift Orban’s penalty amid controversial circumstances. Juventus’s performance on the road was reminiscent of some of the displays under former boss Thiago Motta, who was incidentally sacked from his role after a 4-0 humbling at the hands of next opponents Atalanta. Juventus are expected to rival the Bergamo giants in their primary quest for UEFA Champions League finish, but the Bianconeri are eyeing a spot as title challengers, and will aim for a win on Saturday. ............ Team News & Tactics Juventus Igor Tudor will likely have key defender Gleison Bremer back in contention after the Brazilian centre-backs rested against Hellas Verona with a minor knee injury. So, Pierre Kalulu is likely to be shifted to a wing-back role. Fabio Miretti and Arkadiusz Milik are the ones missing out on action at the current moment. Tudor will unlikely make big changes to his preferred starting lineup, while using his preferred midfield setup of Manuel Locatelli and Khephren Thuram. Kalulu and Andrea Cambiaso will feature in the wing-back roles, while last weekend’s goalscorer Francisco Conceicao will also play despite his recent layoff. The in-demand prospect Kenan Yildiz will feature in the final third activities, while there is intense competition for places for the No.9 role, with Jonathan David, Lois Openda and Dusan Vlahovic all vying for a single spot. David will lead the line for Juventus against Atalanta on Saturday. Probable Lineup (3-4-2-1): Di Gregorio; Gatti, Bremer, Kelly; Kalulu, Thuram, Locatelli, Cambiaso; Conceicao, Yildiz; David Atalanta ............ Probable Lineup (3-4-1-2): Carnesecchi; Kossounou, Djimsiti, Ahanor; Bellanova, De Roon, Musah, Zappacosta; Pasalic; De Ketelaere, Krstovic Key Stats Juventus are undefeated in their last nine matches in Serie A. Juventus have scored at least two goals in their last six home games Atalanta are unbeaten in their last seven visits to Juventus. Atalanta have lost one of their last 11 games against Juventus. Player to Watch Jonathan David The Canadian striker had the best possible start to life as Juventus’s new striker following his move from LOSC Lille on a free transfer. David scored in the opening day victory over Parma, but he has since gone a bit quiet, with only one assist to show for his displays, which came against Inter Milan. The competition for places for the starting striker is probably the most intense at Juventus compared to any team in the world. Lois Openda and Dusan Vlahovic are also knocking on the door with impressive performances this season, and should David start against Atalanta on Saturday, he needs to put in a formidable display to stake his place for longer. Prediction Juventus 2-1 Atalanta Atalanta are in a good run of form, albeit still being inconsistent, where they have made it difficult to properly judge them under Ivan Juric. One day, they are timid, while taking the handbrake off on another occasion. While La Dea come to Juventus with a top record against their opposition, there are still big question marks about whether Juric can get them a result here. Meanwhile, Juventus have enjoyed a very good start to their season, and that will be crucial in their game against Atalanta. They are in a superior vein of form compared to their visitors, and that might be key for Igor Tudor to get a result on Saturday. The Bianconeri are expected to take three points, possibly not convincingly, but they have the players to get the job done. .

Juventus haven’t beaten Atalanta at home for 7 years ahead of Saturday’s Serie A clash Juventus host Atalanta at the Allianz Stadium in Turin on Saturday evening, as the Bianconeri look to end a dismal streak of home results against La Dea. The last time the Bianconeri beat Atalanta in Turin came in March 2018, when the Old Lady emerged 2-0 victors over their opposition. ............ Since then, Juventus have not won in any of their last seven home games against Atalanta. In March of this year, the Bianconeri suffered a heavy 4-0 defeat at home to Atalanta while in the 2023-24 campaign, the fixture ended in a 2-2 draw. ............ The 2022-23 season saw an absolute classic of a match, with the Bianconeri coming back from behind twice to snatch a point in a 3-3 draw. ............ .

Serie A Preview: Juventus vs Atalanta – Team News, Line-ups & Prediction Juventus’ 100% league start came to an end last weekend. Despite taking an early lead through Francisco Conceicao, Igor Tudor’s side slumped to a 1-1 draw at Hellas Verona. However, three wins from the opening four rounds keep Juventus firmly in contention for their first Scudetto since the 2019/20 season. A swift return to winning ways would be the ultimate confidence booster, especially considering they face perennial top-four contenders Atalanta in a blockbuster contest. ............ Match Preview Juventus Allianz Stadium has been a fortress this season. After a comfortable 2-0 victory over Parma, Juventus pulled off a stunning late comeback to beat Inter Milan 4-3 in a breathless Derby d’Italia in their last home league match. Furthermore, the Turin giants netted twice in second-half stoppage time to hold Borussia Dortmund to a 4-4 draw. Despite enjoying their best start to the Serie A season since 2018/19, defensive woes threaten to hamper the Bianconeri’s hopes of returning to the domestic throne. Indeed, they’ve conceded across their last three games in all competitions, including seven in their two most recent home matches. Nonetheless, Juventus will take the field in high spirits, buoyed by an ongoing six-game winning home streak in Serie A. Another triumph against Atalanta would see them go seven in a row for the first time since March 2021. Moreover, they scored at least two goals in each of those six wins. Atalanta ............ Team News After being rested against Verona, Gleison Bremer is expected to return to Juventus’ starting XI at the expense of Pierre Kalulu. Meanwhile, the Frenchman may return to the wing, with Joao Mario likely to make way. Long-term absentee Arkadiusz Milik remains on the sidelines, alongside Fabio Miretti. As for Atalanta, Nicola Zalewski, Sead Kolasic, Giorgio Scalvini, and Mitchell Bakker are unavailable for selection due to injuries. Far more ominous is the absence of star striker Gianluca Scamacca and midfield cornerstone Ederson. With Scamacca out, Nikola Krstovic will probably lead the line despite Ademola Lookman’s return to the squad. Juventus vs Atalanta Potential Starting Line-ups Juventus (3-4-2-1): Di Gregorio; Gatti, Bremer, Kelly; Kalulu, Thuram, Locatelli, Cambiaso; Conceicao, Yildiz; David. Atalanta (3-4-1-2): Carnesecchi; Kossounou, Djimsiti, Ahanor; Bellanova, De Roon, Musah, Zappacosta; Pasalic; De Ketelaere, Krstovic. Juventus vs Atalanta Prediction It would take a brave man to write Atalanta off before the kick-off. However, a sizeable injury list threatens to hamper La Dea’s chances of upsetting Turin again. Juventus have been superb at home, and we believe they’re well-positioned to take advantage of Atalanta’s injury crisis. Indeed, this feels like a prime opportunity for Juventus to beat this opposition at the Allianz Stadium for the first time since March 2018. Prediction: Juventus to Win .

Ivan Juric knows Juventus has too much quality for his Atalanta team Ivan Juric is aiming to secure maximum points when he leads Atalanta against Juventus in Serie A this weekend. The Bianconeri have been one of the league’s top-performing teams this season, having only dropped points in a single match so far. They are closely trailing Napoli at the top of the table, making this fixture a crucial encounter for their championship aspirations. Juric has enjoyed a promising start to his tenure at Atalanta and is keen to build on that momentum. ............ Speaking ahead of the match, Juric shared his thoughts: “I expect to face a match tomorrow where they have a lot of options. Playing Juventus will be tough, as we saw in the summer friendly (Bortolotti Trophy): we want to try to do our best. The points dropped against Pisa really hurt because we could have won. Then the team unlocked themselves in attack, and we want to continue like this. Juventus? They have Conceicao, Zhegrova, Yildiz, and also three very good strikers. They have speed, technique, and a wealth of options: we’ll need to be ready both offensively and defensively.” Juric’s comments highlight both his respect for Juventus’ quality and his determination to prepare his team strategically. He is aware of the technical ability, speed, and depth that the opposition possesses, emphasising the need for readiness in all phases of the game. ............ Securing points against a side of Juventus’ calibre would be a major statement for Atalanta and could significantly influence the team’s confidence moving forward. The manager is focused on ensuring that his players are fully prepared to face the array of attacking options available to their opponents while maintaining balance and discipline throughout the match. ............ .

Juventus has already set a valuation for Liverpool target Liverpool is reported to be interested in signing Gleison Bremer, having monitored the Brazilian defender for some time. Bremer missed almost the entirety of last season due to injury, which prevented him from securing a move in the last transfer window. Now fully fit, he has returned to help Juventus regain stability at the back, reaffirming his role as a key member of the squad and one of its leaders. ............ The Bianconeri view Bremer as an essential part of their team, and his performances have emphasised his importance. While Juventus’ default response to enquiries is that he is not for sale, there is recognition that every player has a price. The club values Bremer at 60 million euros and would consider an offer above that figure from Liverpool. This approach allows Juventus to maintain control over its key asset while remaining realistic about market interest. Bremer’s valuation reflects both his quality and his age, suggesting that 60 million euros could represent a fair compromise should a transfer be negotiated. Juventus are keen to retain him, yet they understand that opportunities to move abroad could appeal to the player as a way of gaining new experience outside Serie A. The club’s stance balances protecting a leading figure with recognising the financial and professional realities of the transfer market. ............ If Bremer chooses to remain in Italy, few Serie A clubs would be able to meet Juventus’ valuation, meaning that any domestic move is unlikely. This adds weight to the possibility of a transfer abroad, with Liverpool emerging as a prominent option. For Bremer, the decision will involve weighing loyalty to his current club against the opportunity to challenge himself in a different league. ............ .

Juventus coach Tudor confirms Conceiçao ‘small issues’, feels Juric ‘underrated’ Juventus coach Igor Tudor confirms Francisco Conceiçao is not fully fit ahead of tomorrow’s game with Atalanta and feels his compatriot Ivan Juric is ‘underrated.’ ............ “We had two days of rest to recharge. Now we have three matches in a row before the international break and we’ve worked well,” Tudor said at a pre-match press conference. “I’m not worried, I’m confident, and I believe the team is in good shape. Playing one match per week or three is a different kind of football; it needs to be repeated, and so a coach must be even better at making choices. “It’s difficult because sometimes you don’t want to give up on certain players. But we paid for this, and we must make as few mistakes as possible. Certain players can play 50 games without problems; it depends on their characteristics.” ............ “Conceiçao had a few small issues; he played those 70 minutes with little training and picked up some knocks. We’ll see how he feels,” Tudor said. ............ “We do everything a coach can do. I have three strong forwards, and we choose based on the matches. We need to get to know the new ones. There will be space for everyone, the season is long. I’m happy to have three strong players.” ............ “Juric is not my best friend; he’s a friend of mine. He has values and a particular way of coaching,” said the Juventus boss. “He’s fantastic and a bit underrated throughout his career. He’s always done extraordinary things that have been underrated. In the last year, he had two unusual situations. Now he’s coaching a team in the Champions League, and so he’s been recognised. Tomorrow, two strong teams with strengths and weaknesses meet.” ............ Lastly, Tudor didn’t reply to referee designator Gianluca Rocchi, who had said the Juventus coach’s protests after the 1-1 draw against Verona were “excessive.” “I won’t say anything; we move on,” Tudor concluded. .

Khephren Thuram describes what it feels like to work under Tudor Khephren Thuram has opened up about his experience playing under Igor Tudor at Juventus as the French midfielder continues to establish himself as an increasingly important figure at the club. Thuram is one of the players that Tudor trusts, and this confidence has allowed him to grow into a key member of the team. The Frenchman is happy and settled in Turin and notably rejected approaches to leave during the most recent transfer window, demonstrating his commitment to the club and its ongoing project. ............ Speaking about Tudor, Thuram said: “He’s a very easy-going person, he talks to us a lot. When it’s time to have fun, he enjoys it with us, but when it’s time to work, he works hard. So I think he has a good balance in his closeness to the team. I don’t know how to say it, but since he’s so close to us, he can ask a lot of us: we’re willing to follow him because we know he speaks only for our own good. With Tudor, we work a lot physically and tactically.” The influence of Tudor extends far beyond Thuram. Even players such as Dusan Vlahovic, who were placed on the market by the club, have flourished due to the way Tudor handled challenging situations in the summer. His approach combines clear communication, tactical discipline, and personal support, enabling players to maintain focus and confidence even amid uncertainty. This management style demonstrates Tudor’s ability to lead a top team effectively while maintaining squad cohesion. ............ Since assuming the managerial role, Tudor has shown a clear understanding of what it takes to improve both individual performances and the team as a whole. ............ .
