One week before the start of Serie A, the Achille and Cesare Bortolotti Trophy is animating the football weekend with a luxury match: Atalanta-Juventus.

You’re not in Italy but you still want to watch Atalanta-Juventus? Watch it on OneFootball! Buy the match (visible only outside of Italy) for 2.99 euros.

This is not just a summer friendly match, but the last official test for two teams that want to start the championship well.

Atalanta, who are coming out of a summer marked by big changes and are looking for a new identity after the Gasperini era, have entrusted the bench to Ivan Juric, ready to redeem himself after a difficult season.

Meanwhile, Igor Tudor’s Juventus is pursuing its consolidation process, with big ambitions and a new striker to keep an eye on.

Between tactical revolutions, new faces, and the desire to start strong, these 90 minutes will give a glimpse of what to expect in the championship.

⚫🔵 The new Atalanta of Juric

La Dea has ended the Gasperini cycle and is now trusting its former student Juric, who brings similar ideas but still needs to find the right formula.

The preseason has shown highs and lows: a prestigious victory against Leipzig, but also a heavy 4-0 defeat against Cologne and a spectacular 3-3 match against Opatija.

Without Retegui, who left for Saudi Arabia, and with Lookman’s uncertain future, Atalanta is preparing for a transition year. Against Juventus, Juric will be looking for answers in terms of defensive solidity.

After the experience of the Club World Cup, Juventus is restarting with Tudor, who gave positive signs at the end of the season.

The Bianconeri have only played three friendly matches, but the results are encouraging: a draw against Reggiana, a victory against Borussia Dortmund, and a win against Next Gen.

All eyes are on new signing Jonathan David, the Canadian striker who shone in France with Lille and is ready to become the new offensive reference.

The challenge will also have a special appeal on the bench: Juric and Tudor, compatriots and rivals, face off in a test that resembles a preview of the championship.

Both want to prove that they are capable of leading two important and expectation-laden clubs with character.

Saturday evening in Bergamo, no points will be at stake, but the intensity will be that of an official match.

For Atalanta, this will be a crucial test before their debut against Pisa. For Juventus, it will be a test of maturity ahead of the match against Parma.

The show is guaranteed, as both teams want to be ready and motivated for the start of the championship.
