Atalanta and Juventus Face Off in Coppa Italia Quarter-Final Line-Up

Juventus and Atalanta are set to clash in the Coppa Italia quarter-final, taking place at the New Balance Arena in Bergamo. The match will begin at 20:00 GMT (21:00 CET) and is designed to be decided within 90 minutes. Any tie at the end of regulation will lead directly to a penalty shoot-out, as no extra time will be played.

Match Preview: Atalanta vs. Juventus

This quarter-final match between Juventus and Atalanta is a rematch of the recent Coppa Italia Final, where Juventus emerged victorious with a 1-0 scoreline. Notably, that victory stands as the last time Juventus defeated Atalanta. Currently, Juventus is in fourth place in the league and has shown impressive form, winning nine of their last 12 competitive matches, with only one loss.

Key Player Updates

Juventus will rely on several key players, including Francisco Conceicao, Jonathan David, and Weston McKennie. The squad faces a challenge, however, as Kenan Yildiz is dealing with an adductor injury. Instead of bringing in Fabio Miretti, coach Andrea Cambiaso will play in a more advanced role.

• Injured Juventus players include Dusan Vlahovic and Arkadiusz Milik.
• New signings Jeremie Boga and Emil Holm will start the match on the bench.

On the other hand, Atalanta has struggled for consistency under coach Raffaele Palladino, who took over from Ivan Juric. Since mid-January, the team managed only one significant 4-0 victory against Parma, along with two draws and losses in Champions League matches. In their last game, Atalanta secured a 0-0 draw against Como.
