Atletico Madrid vs Juventus Prediction and Betting Tips | August 10th 2024
Atletico Madrid will face Juventus at the Nya Ullevi in Sweden on Saturday in a pre-season friendly between the two teams. Colchoneros enjoyed a largely positive La Liga campaign last season, finishing fourth in the league table, and will be looking to put out a stronger showing in the upcoming campaign.
They have performed well during the off-season, most recently thrashing Hong Kongese side Kitchee 6-1 at the Hong Kong Stadium featuring goals from five different players including new signing Alexander Sorloth who netted a first-half brace. The Spanish side will be looking to wrap up their pre-season campaign on a high before heading back to Spain for their league opener against Villarreal.
Juventus, meanwhile, endured a disappointing league campaign although they managed to clinch silverware in the form of the Coppa Italia. They have appointed Thiago Motta as the new head coach, with the Italian guiding the first team to a 4-0 victory over Juventus Next Gen last time out.
Like their opponents, the Old Lady will round up their pre-season campaign this weekend and will be targeting victory before their Serie A opener against newly-promoted Como later in the month.
Atletico Madrid vs Juventus Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- There have been 13 meetings between the two teams. Atletico have won five of those games while Juventus have won one more with their other two matchups ending in draws.
- The two sides last faced off in a friendly clash back in August 2022 which Colchoneros won 4-0, with Alvaro Morata scoring a hat-trick.
- The Old Lady have managed just one clean sheet in their last four games in this fixture.
- Juventus have had 79 competitive meetings against Spanish opposition, their most against a single nation in European competitions.
Atletico Madrid vs Juventus Prediction
Atletico are on a four-game winning streak and have lost just one of their last nine games. They have had convincing performances during pre-season so far and will be looking to continue that this weekend.
Juventus' only win during the off-season came against their reserve team and they have a sterner test this weekend. They have struggled for results against Diego Simeone's side of late and could see defeat here.
Prediction: Atletico Madrid 3-1 Juventus
