Prediction published on 17/05/2021, 04:25  by Nella Wagah in Football Predictions

Juventus are pushing for a top four finish, to be able to play Champions League football next season but the Italian Cup is equally important in light of how their season has been. For a team that won the last nine league titles before this season, it has been a poor campaign in 2020/21. The Italian Cup is the only trophy they can win this season and they will be facing Atalanta in the final. Atalanta are almost assured of a top four finish and that to them is a big achievement in the season. Getting the Coppa Italia will make it greater. After avoiding defeat against Juventus in the last three meetings, they can afford to plan for this game with silverware in mind. Atalanta are unbeaten in their last 10 matches, winning eight, but they have just four clean sheets. In four of their last five matches, they have scored two or more in four, and their tally for the last five matches is 17 goals.

Juventus are also coming here on the back of impressive results, the last two being wins, and they’ve been scoring a lot too. In the last two matches Juventus have scored six goals, but they have struggled defensively, failing to keep a clean sheet in the last 14 matches. In the last five matches alone, they’ve conceded eight goals and heading to a game against one of the best scoring teams in Italy, they have to tighten up. Last season, Juventus lost to Napoli in the Copa Italia final on post match penalties. This season, their run hasn’t been smooth, needing extra time to see off Genoa, though they had a 4-0 win over SPAL and eliminated league champions Inter Milan.
