Serie A 2025-2026: Atalanta-Juventus, the likely lineups

The Saturday of the thirty-second day of Serie A closes with the big match between Atalanta and Juventus. In the setting of the New Balance Arena, the two teams play a great opportunity in view of the Champions League. The Nerazzurri, galvanized by two consecutive successes, currently occupy seventh place four points behind the Bianconeri and five behind fourth-place Como. For La Dea, the imperative is to continue the chase to get back into the “big group,” especially after Roma’s victory over Pisa in Friday’s advance match that further raised the bar in the competition.

On the other hand, Luciano Spalletti’s Juventus, fresh from a contract renewal until 2028, is going through a moment of decent form. The Bianconeri were able to turn the page immediately after the half-step at home against Sassuolo, finding the three points in the previous round against Genoa. With Como only one length away and awaited by the prohibitive clash against leading Inter, the Old Lady has the golden opportunity: a positive result against the Bergamasks could give the Larians overtaking them at least for one night and, in any case, fundamental points to further pursue the goal.

Good news from the infirmary for Raffaele Palladino, who finds Gianluca Scamacca among the summoned players, who will start from the bench. Hien, however, still remains in the pits. In defense there will be Scalvini and Djimsiti along with Kolasinac, favored over Ahanor, in midfield on the right side Bellanova has a better chance than Bernasconi, De Roon and Ederson are instead untouchable in the middle. Pasalic and De Ketelaere will be on the three-quarter, behind Krstovic.

Heavy absence for the Bianconeri: McKennie is disqualified and will miss the match, to replace him Spalletti thinks of Koopmeiners (important former) ahead of Miretti. Between the posts, with Perin injured, Di Gregorio returns from the first minute, in defense space Bremer and Kelly central with Cambiaso on the left. Conceiçao on the right and David, favored over Boga, will be in attack along with Yildiz.
