Juventus will be looking to stay at the top of the Serie A for another weekend when they travel to Bergamo to face Atalanta.

The Old Lady are just a single point above Inter Milan after 12 games and have four wins and two draws on the road.

Juventus have won their last four games, most recently a 1-0 win over AC Milan when Paulo Dybala came off the bench to get the winner.

Atalanta sit fifth in the table with 22 points and have won just two of their five games at home.

They come into the weekend winless in their last four and are coming off a 0-0 draw with struggling Sampdoria.

In the last 20 meetings, they share four draws while Juventus have 15 wins to Atalanta’s one. When they met in May it was a 1-1 draw and Juventus are winless in their last two trips to Bergamo.

The hosts are missing striker Duvan Zapata who is injured while Josip Ilicic is out due to suspension.

Maurizio Sarri is without Blaise Matuidi, Giorgio Chiellini, Marko Pjaca and Miralem Pjanic.

Kickoff is at 9 a.m. ET. on Saturday morning at the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo. The game will be shown in Canada on DAZN and TLN.
