The Serie A returns to the fold with another round of matches this weekend as Juventus take on Atalanta on Sunday. Both teams have impressive players in their ranks and will need to win this game.
Atalanta are in fifth place in the Serie A standings and have not been at their best in recent weeks. La Dea crashed out of the Coppa Italia this week and will need to make amends in this fixture.
Juventus, on the other hand, are in fourth place in the league table and have improved after a poor start to their campaign. The Bianconeri eased past Verona by a 2-0 margin in their previous league game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.
