Juventus to host Atalanta at Allianz Stadium in Serie A matchweek 5 on September 20

Juventus will host Atalanta at the Allianz Stadium on September 20 in their Serie A 2026-27 matchweek 5 fixture, following a 5-0 UEFA Europa League victory over Nec Nijmegen and Atalanta's run of league defeats.

Luciano Spalletti leads Juventus into the game after the club's heavy European win, while the Old Lady arrive having lost 2-3 to Sassuolo in their last Serie A outing and will aim to regain momentum on home soil; the preview notes Juventus must adopt a calm, composed approach to secure three points. Maurizio Sarri’s Atalanta travel having lost consecutive matches — first to AS Roma and then 1-2 against Cagliari — a run that, the preview states, leaves La Dea under pressure away from home.

The preview singles out Nicolas Gonzalez as a key figure for Juventus, describing the 28-year-old Argentine midfielder as a primary attacking midfielder for the hosts and a player capable of both scoring and creating opportunities for teammates.

Gianluca Scamacca is identified as another player to watch for Juventus: the 27-year-old striker scored his first goal of the Serie A 2026-27 campaign and is expected to lead the attack as he looks to add to his tally.

Juventus will be without several squad members through injury and suspension: Kenan Yildiz, Manuel Locatelli, Jeremie Boga, Khephren Thuram, Jeff Ekhator, Juan Cabal and Andrea Cambiaso are listed as injured, with Lloyd Kelly suspended. Atalanta will be missing Isak Hien and Kamaldeen Sulemana due to injury.

Projected lineups provided in the preview list Juventus as: Vicario (GK); Kalulu, Bremer, Lucumi, Celik; Luiz, Koopmeiners; Conceicao, Gonzalez, Alajbegovic; Kolo Muani. Atalanta are shown as: Carnesecchi (GK); Bellanova, Kossounou, Scalvini, Kolasinac; Samardzic, Kessie, Ederson; De Ketelaere, Scamacca, Rowe.

The preview gives Juventus a slight edge at home, stating Atalanta are under pressure from their recent form and that the Old Lady are likely to come out on top and secure a win; UK viewers can watch on TNT Sports 1, DAZN UK and HBO Max, while Zee5 and Unite8 Sports are listed as streaming options for live coverage.

The Serie A fixture is scheduled for September 20 at the Allianz Stadium.
