⚽ Lega Serie A 🇮🇹 (Italian League) Prediction Thread 2025/2026 ⚽

There was a really interesting result in the Coppa Italia match yesterday...



Atalanta just destroyed Juventus!    I was never expecting such a score. I thought Juventus would even be the side to advance to semi finals. I mean they weren't struggling with organizing attacks.

The problem was finding the target. 2/13 only and 1 hit woodwork. There was no Kenan Yıldız as well which weakened their offense. Did Spalletti want to just rest him? He was on bench.

An interesting result, especially considering that Juventus had more possession of the ball (58 - 42 in their favor), shot at goal more (11 - 8 in their favor) and only lost to Atalanta in shots on target (2 - 4 in Atalanta's favor). When I saw the score, I thought Juventus were playing with a rotating lineup, but no, Atalanta just had better luck this time. For Juventus, this is a very painful defeat that underlines another disappointing season.

It's still too early to say that you've thrown everything away!
Did you know that if Atalanta reaches the Italian Cup final against a team that finishes the championship in the top four, they will automatically qualify for the Europa League even if they lose?

So all is not lost for them yet.

Was there really a thing like this? I didn't know that wow! This might turn into a great opportunity for Atalanta then but first they had better qualify for the final. And they had better hope they don't face Inter early.

Otherwise it will mean the end of a journey most probably. Currently Bologna and Lazio are better options. No matter which one eliminates the other in the quarter final round. Napoli and Como both aren't ideal.

This result truly shocked many. I don't understand what happened to Juventus, how they lost so badly to Atalanta. Atalanta's performance wasn't as strong as Juventus'. This is what happens when Spalletti underestimates Atalanta, whereas they have many good players on the bench but not played. The fans were deeply disappointed with this result, as their club lost so badly and Juventus' hopes of winning the Coppa Italia ended prematurely.

This is football for you sometimes you see unexpected results that springs up. I played this game goal goal but it did not go according to my prediction, the two sides were supposed to score in this game going by the pedigree of the two teams knowing that these two teams are big teams are big teams. But nice work by Atlanta putting out this type of performance even when their play maker Ademola lookman has departed the club. Nice one from Atlanta as Juventus was totally outplayed in this game.


One thing that Juventus should endeavor to do this season is trying to maintain form and be consistent with their play.because if Juventus keeps on playing this way of winning some games and losing with any form of consistency then it will be difficult for Juventus to qualify for the champions League next season.

Atalanta definitely doesn't look like they are a great team this season, and yet they somehow managed to get a good win here. It was a very boring game aside from the three goals . I know that sounds very crazy when you hear about it, but Atalanta seriously just held the ball, didn't even passed it around that much, just didn't "do" anything, cooled the game down, and just as Juventus lost focus when Atalanta was doing nothing, suddenly Atalanta started to attack quickly, and repeated this. It really worked great for them.

The tempo killing technique is a smart move, which causes the opponent to lose his guard on several occasions when we apparently do not create a serious danger just to watch a match which appears to be monotonous. The ability to take advantage of the opponent not paying attention to my attack with a blistering offence and succeed is to me a testament to the extreme efficiency of the football game in modern times, where I do not necessarily need to win the passing statistic. You are correct in saying that the ultimate outcome is what truly matters more than the beauty of the game hence we can learn that patience in waiting before the appropriate time is a lethal ingredient to winning any game.

That's literally what Italian football is about haha. They have been infamous for this. Focusing on defence and destruction rather than pressing for more goals.
I've just watched the highlights of that game. Juventus started off really well, putting a lot of pressure on Atalanta. They had like 3 good scoring chances but couldn't convert any of them into goal. Then that handball happened and a penalty for Atalanta. After taking the lead, they could just focus on defence. They pressed a bit towards the end of the game, creating two chances and turning both of them into goals.
Not the prettiest performance, but I'm sure Atalanta's fans are not complaining.

Atalanta is not favored as the best team in this music, Atalanta started the season inconsistently in maintaining team balance. But this week they bounced back perfectly and managed to achieve a good victory, I saw Juventus never put dangerous pressure but Atalanta took advantage of that opportunity well, so far no team has easily beaten Juventus this match is very impressive.
