Juventus vs Atalanta: Eight Absentees for Hosts

Updated Sun 20 Sept

Juventus face Atalanta in Serie A on Sunday 20 September 2026 at Allianz Stadium in Torino, carrying an eight-man injury list despite a lopsided European victory three days prior.

Juventus manage eight absences after 5-0 European win

The home side responded to a 3-2 league defeat at Sassuolo on 13 September 2026 by routing NEC Nijmegen 5-0 in the UEFA Europa League on 17 September 2026. In domestic competition, Juventus sit eighth in Serie A with seven points from four matches, scoring six goals and conceding four. They remain unbeaten at Allianz Stadium in Serie A this season, having beaten Parma 2-0 on 29 August and drawn 1-1 against AC Milan on 6 September.

Selection options remain thin for the home side. Eight players are unavailable: A. Milik, J. Boga, J. Cabal, J. Ekhator, K. Grabara, K. Thuram, K. Yildiz, and M. Locatelli. Nicolás González leads their scoring with two goals in all competitions, spearheading an attack that has generated an average of 2.08 expected goals per game while allowing 0.48 over their last five outings.

Atalanta concede four in back-to-back league losses

Atalanta travel to Torino sitting 11th in the table with six points from four matches, having lost their last two Serie A fixtures. After opening the domestic campaign with wins against Sassuolo (2-1) and Bologna (1-0), the Bergamo club lost 2-1 away to AS Roma on 5 September 2026 and fell 2-1 at home to Cagliari on 12 September 2026. Their only away match in the league so far ended in that defeat in Rome.

The underlying metrics highlight defensive strain for the visitors. Over their last four fixtures with chance data, Atalanta created an average of 0.71 expected goals per match while conceding 2.04. Forward Gianluca Scamacca leads the club with two goals this season, but the squad travels without three injured players: I. Hien, K. Sulemana, and O. Kossounou.

Recent meetings also run in favour of the hosts. Juventus took four points from Atalanta last season, following a 1-1 draw on 27 September 2025 with a 1-0 away victory on 11 April 2026.

Our model expects a Juventus win

Our forecasting model expects a Juventus win with medium confidence. While Juventus must cope with the absence of eight first-team players including M. Locatelli and K. Yildiz, their underlying chance metrics of 2.08 expected goals created to 0.48 allowed contrast sharply with Atalanta's recent rate of 2.04 expected goals conceded per game.
