Atalanta vs Juventus Prediction: De Roon to wind up in trouble

A Coppa Italia quarter-final awaits on Thursday as the 2024 finalists Atalanta and Juventus meet at the New Balance Arena (20:00 GMT, Premier Sports 1). The hosts dismantled Genoa 4-0 here in the previous round, while Juve were 2-0 winners at home against Udinese.

Below you will find my Atalanta vs Juventus predictions, accompanied by the latest match odds and team news.

Team News

Atalanta's teenage defender Honest Ahanor may be dropped from the XI after his red card in the 0-0 draw at Como on Sunday in Serie A.

Gianluca Scamacca was withdrawn following the sending off, so the forward will be looking for a longer run out on Thursday.

Goalkeeper Marco Carnesecchi has conceded just one league goal in 2026 (six games) and is set to continue in net.

Mitchel Bakker is the hosts' only absentee because of a cruciate ligament injury.

Football Odds

Kenan Yilidz is unavailable for Juventus because of an abductor strain, while forwards Dusan Vlahovic and Arkadiusz Milik are also in the treatment room with abductor and calf issues, respectively.

Jonathan David should continue to lead the line for the Old Lady, and the Canadian international has scored four Serie A goals in 2026 already.

Today's Football Fixtures

Atalanta vs Juventus Odds

Atalanta have won four of their last six domestic matches, and they are 7/4 to win this tie in regulation time.

Two of their previous three league outings have ended in draws, and the stalemate is priced at 12/5.

Juventus are 6/4 to emerge victorious inside 90 minutes, and they have won two of their past three fixtures in all competitions.

Player To Receive A Card - Marten de Roon @ 21/10

Veteran midfielder Marten de Roon is a key figure in midfield for Atalanta, but given his age, he is not as mobile as he once was. This means there are challenges that he can no longer make but still attempts.

Against an energetic Juve midfield, I think a smart play on Thursday would be to back the Dutchman to get booked. He was shown two yellow cards and sent off in the 1-1 draw with the Old Lady in Serie A back in September.

De Roon was also penalised in the weekend's stalemate at Como, so I think there is value for him to go into the book on Thursday night.

Total Goals - Under 2.5 @ 8/11

Recent years have shown us that this fixture can often turn into chess matches. Seven of the previous 10 competitive meetings have featured fewer than three goals, so under 2.5 goals is another appealing market at 8/11. Their 2024 Coppa Italia final ended in a 1-0 win for Juve.

For Atalanta, under 2.5 goals has struck in seven of their last eight domestic fixtures, and I believe we will see this trend continue on Thursday.

There were also fewer than three goals scored in Juventus' round of 16 victory over Udinese, which they won 2-0.
