Atalanta and Juventus will lock horns with each other in the Coppa Italia this week. The semi-final tie between Raffaele Palladino’s side and Luciano Spalletti’s team will be held at the Stadio Atleti Azzurri d’Italia and is scheduled to kick off at 8pm UK time on Thursday evening.
Atalanta
Atalanta have done extremely well in recent seasons under head coach Gian Piero Gasperini, who is now in charge of AS Roma. They have become regulars in the Serie A top four and have frequently played in the UEFA Champions League.
La Dea ended up third in the Serie A table last season, but they entered a new era under Ivan Juric, who was sacked in November 2025. Raffaele Palladino is now the manager of Atalanta, who are currently seventh in the standings with 36 points from 23 games, 9 points behind fourth-placed Juventus.
Atalanta will head into the Coppa Italia tie against Juventus on the back of a goalless draw with Como away from home in Serie A. It came after a 1-0 defeat to Union St-Gilloise on the road in the UEFA Champions League, which followed a 4-0 victory over Parma at Stadio Atleti Azzurri d’Italia in Serie A.

Atalanta are likely to line up in a 3-4-2-1 formation against Juventus. Marco Carnesecchi will be in goal for the home team and will have Giorgio Scalvini, Berat Djimsiti and Odilon Kossounou in front of him in defence. Davide Zappacosta, Marten de Roon, Ederson and Lorenzo Bernasconi will be the four midfielders. Charles De Ketelaere and Nicola Zalewski will be deployed as the two attacking midfielders.
