Atalanta and Juventus named their lineups for a 20.45 kickoff in Serie A’s 32ª giornata, with Raffaele Palladino’s side in a 3-4-2-1 and Luciano Spalletti’s team listed in a 4-2-3-1. The match is the 128th all-time Serie A meeting between the clubs.
Atalanta will start with Carnesecchi, Scalvini, Djimsiti, Kolasinac, Zappacosta, De Roon, Ederson, Bernasconi, De Ketelaere, Zalewski and Krstovic. Juventus’ listed 4-2-3-1 includes Di Gregorio, Kalulu, Bremer, Kelly, Cambiaso, Locatelli, Thuram, Holm, Conceiçao, Boga and Yildiz. A separate Juventus lineup also listed a 4-3-3 with Di Gregorio, Kalulu, Bremer, Kelly, Cambiaso, Koopmeiners, Locatelli, Thuram, Conceiçao, David and Yildiz.
Fabio Maresca of the Naples section was assigned to referee the match, with Alessio Berti and Pietro Dei Giudici as assistants, Luca Zufferli as fourth official, Aleandro Di Paolo on VAR and Giacomo Camplone as AVAR. Before kickoff, Juventus led the Serie A head-to-head with 66 wins from the previous 127 meetings, compared with 47 draws and 14 Atalanta victories. Six of the last eight league meetings between the sides ended level, a recent pattern that has tightened a rivalry once dominated by Juventus.

That history gives the game weight, but the immediate stakes are simpler. Atalanta are chasing a third consecutive Serie A win for the third time under Palladino, while Spalletti is looking for a second straight away victory. Giacomo Raspadori’s record against Juventus also stands out: he has scored four Serie A goals against them, with only Genoa conceding him more, on five.
The balance between the clubs has shifted from the long view to the recent one, and this meeting arrives with both sides carrying a clear target. For Atalanta, the test is whether Palladino’s run can stretch again; for Juventus, it is whether Spalletti can leave with another away result in a fixture that has repeatedly refused to stay settled.
