Atalanta take on Juventus in final match of Coppa Italia. The match will be played on Wednesday, April 15th at Stadio Olimpico (Rome).
The Bergamo team can't even remember when they could afford to rest in the middle of the week. Last Thursday, they played the second leg of the Europa League semi-final. After a 1-1 draw in France, they needed to secure a victory at home. In Bergamo, they confidently won 3-0 against Marseille. Right after that, there was an important match in Serie A. Thanks to their strong performance, coinciding with Roma's slump, they managed to catch up with the capital club in terms of points. The competition is for the 5th place, which this time guarantees a spot in the Champions League. They also won there, pulling away from their direct competitor. A little earlier, Gasperini's men showed their will and character in the cup semi-finals against Fiorentina. After losing the first leg in Florence, 0-1, at home, La Dea destroyed the opponent with a crushing scoreline. Now, Miranchuk and company are close to the title again, but past Coppa Italia finals have been lost – will the battered do better than the unbeaten?

Juventus will either salvage the season or ruin it completely. The Old Lady was considered the dark horse of the current season. Last season, they finally improved, but all of it was nullified by administrative penalties – a deduction of 10 points and a ban from European competitions. But now there was an unusually empty schedule, without exerting energy on the international stage. And indeed, a significant part of 2023/2024 was spent in second place – only the incredible Inter was ahead. It seemed at the end of January that the Nerazzurri would be caught up with. But on the contrary, that's when the decline began, which has not been stopped completely until now. The Black and Blues have already let Milan surpass them and even allowed Bologna to catch up. They only delighted the fans in the cup, reaching the final. But even there, after a 2-0 lead in the first leg of the semi-finals, they conceded a couple of goals from Lazio in the return leg. But in the 83rd minute, Milik secured the crucial passing goal. On the other hand, in the last Serie A match, they couldn't even beat Salernitana, moreover, Rabiot salvaged a draw in Turin in the 90+ minute, sealing a 1-1 – at least they avoided complete disgrace.
Exactly a year ago, in early May 2023, Juventus won in Bergamo. But the other 4 recent head-to-head matches brought only draws. The chances of the pair are considered almost equal. But Bergamo looked much stronger in the spring – we recommend betting that Gasperini's wards will win with a 0 handicap.
Prediction for the match: Atalanta to win with 0.0 handicap.
