Average Possession
- Atalanta: Standing forth with 56.4%
- Juventus: Standing first with 60.7%
Atalanta, challenging for the Serie A title, has faced a little difficulty lately, with a goalless draw against Udinese on Saturday extending their winless streak to three matches across all competitions. What’s particularly concerning is that La Dea managed only two shots on target in that match, marking their second consecutive game without scoring. As they prepare to face Juventus, a team they’ve struggled against recently, fans might feel a bit anxious. Just like Atalanta, Juventus faced a tricky exit from the Supercoppa Italiana in the semi-finals, and they kicked off 2025 with a draw in Serie A.
Their 1-1 stalemate in the Derby della Mole against Torino marked their 12th draw this season, with six coming in their last seven matches. They’re also on a remarkable run, staying unbeaten in all 12 away matches across competitions. Juventus, meanwhile, has shown promise by scoring first in four of their last five away league matches. This could be an excellent opportunity for them to add another win against Atalanta, who have faced no side more often than they have this team in past encounters. The battle between Atalanta and Juventus will be a close contest, but considering Atalanta’s home advantage, they will have a higher chance to win this game.
Inter Milan vs. Bologna

Defending champions Inter Milan kicked off the second half of the Serie A season with a fantastic victory at the weekend. After facing a tough loss in the Supercoppa Italiana in Saudi Arabia, they are now gearing up to take on a much-improved Bologna side, which has proven to be a challenge to beat right here at San Siro this week. Inter is currently facing some challenges with several key players unavailable. This was evident in their tough but hard-fought victory against a struggling Venezia over the weekend. Both Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Hakan Calhanoglu are still out, and there are concerns about Stefan de Vrij and Marcus Thuram, as they may also miss this match.
In Bologna’s last game of 2025, midfielder Tommaso Pobega received a red card and cannot play due to suspension. Meanwhile, Michel Aebischer has faced an injury setback and is also out, joining Oussama El Azzouzi and Nicolo Cambiaghi on the sidelines. Currently, Inter Milan holds a record of 13 wins, four draws, and one loss, which placed them second in the league, and Bologna is sitting in the 7th place with a record of seven wins, eight draws, and three losses. This season, Inter Milan is in excellent form with a strong home record and solid goal difference, and on the other hand, Bologna is somewhere inconsistent. Based on the recent form and performances, Inter Milan will have an edge in winning this game.
