Lunchtime kick-off on Sunday sees the Bianconeri take on Atalanta in Bergamo, with three important points on the line as both sides eye a top four Serie A finish.
Ahead of the 12:30 CEST kick-off, here's all you need to know about the two sides heading into this encounter:
BIANCONERI IN BERGAMO | Juventus have remained unbeaten in 16 of their last 17 away games against Atalanta in Serie A (W11, D5). Atalanta’s only success in this period came in their 1-0 victory in April 2021.
SEVEN SCORERS | The last seven goals scored by Juventus have all been netted by different players, namely Matias Soulé, Filip Kostić, Moise Kean, Adrien Rabiot, Arek Milik, Leandro Paredes and Dušan Vlahović.
ON THE MARK | Juventus have scored four goals from direct free kicks so far this season – two from Vlahovic, one from Milik and the other from Paredes, this past midweek against Lecce – a record among teams in Europe’s top five leagues this campaign.
500 UP | Should he take to the field against Atalanta, Leonardo Bonucci will play in his 500th match for Juventus in all competitions, a milestone achieved by only five other players in history: Alessandro Del Piero (705), Gianluigi Buffon (685), Giorgio Chiellini (561), Gaetano Scirea (552) and Giuseppe Furino (528). The defender’s next league outing will also see him equal Giorgio Chiellini on 430 matches (42nd in the all-time ranking) in terms of number of appearances in Serie A.
DANILO DELIGHT | Against no team has Danilo scored more goals than against Atalanta in Serie A (two goals, the same amount he has also scored against Sassuolo). Both these goals came in the Bianconeri’s previous two matches against La Dea (in February 2022 at the Gewiss Stadium and in January this year at the Allianz).
