Tipster’s Angle

A high scoring encounter is expected when Juventus and Atalanta go head to head. The head to head record is pretty even as both teams have one match in the last five head to head matches.

Tip: Total Goals Over 2.5 @ 1.72

In the last seven matches that Juventus had played across competitions, over 2.5 goals were scored in six of those matches.

So, it is very likely that over 2.5 goals will be scored at 1.72 odds at the Betway sportsbook.

Tip: Both Teams To Score @ 1.60

In the last five head to head matches, both teams found the back of the net in four of those matches. Even both teams scored in two of the last four head to head matches that these two teams played against each other. Even the last 11 matches that Atalanta had played in all competitions had both teams scoring in seven of those matches.
