Atalanta vs Juventus Coppa Italia final 2021 preview

Atalanta have gained a reputation as a free-flowing, high-scoring football team but it has not yet translated into titles for them. However, achieving Champions League qualification for three years in a row is, nonetheless, a remarkable record for Gian Piero Gasperini and his men. Following their frantic 4-3 win over Genoa, Atalanta sealed their top-four place by virtue of a superior head-to-head record against fellow cup contenders Juventus, who sit fifth, three points behind them heading into Sunday's final round of fixtures. 

Juventus, on the other hand, will not only seek to deny Atalanta long-overdue Coppa glory by beating them in Sassuolo this week, but they also require their assistance in stopping Milan from pipping them to a top-four place next weekend. The Bianconeri have suffered a series of humbling results under Andrea Pirlo this season and they've also been defensively poor. The Old Lady recently came off a 3-2 league win over champions Inter at the weekend. However, winning trophies is still in Juve's DNA and they will be hoping to conclude the season on a high.
