Juventus to face Atalanta in rescheduled Serie A match

Juventus, with Gonzalo Higuaín and Paulo Dybala in great form, will host Atalanta and Alejandro 'Papu' Gómez for the rescheduled Matchday 23 of Serie A on Wednesday at 16:00 (Argentinian time). This match had been postponed on February 25 due to heavy snowfall in Turin.

In the title race, after a thrilling head-to-head battle, Napoli suffered a setback 8 days ago when they lost to Roma (4-2) at their stadium, while Juventus defeated Lazio (1-0).

The momentum continued and this weekend Juventus defeated Udinese (2-0), securing their 11th consecutive victory in the league, while Napoli could only manage a goalless draw against Inter.

Thanks to these results, Juventus reached the top of the table for the first time this season. On Wednesday, they will have the opportunity to extend their lead over their rivals to four points.

They will have to beat Atalanta, whose current eighth place does not reflect their full potential. The team from Bergamo has energy and has had a solid run in the Europa League.

Furthermore, Gian Piero Gasperini's team has achieved good results against the top teams in the league, with victories against Roma and Milan, as well as draws against Napoli, Lazio, and Juventus in the first half of the season.

Juventus might struggle with the demanding schedule, as they are competing in three competitions - including the Champions League and the Italian Cup.

However, Massimiliano Allegri's squad is so strong that even with six or seven less frequently used players, Juventus comfortably defeated Udinese on Sunday. And on Wednesday, the regular starters are expected to take over.

Possible lineups:

Juventus: Buffon; Lichtsteiner, Benatia, Chiellini, Alex Sandro; Marchisio, Pjanic, Matuidi; Douglas Costa, Dybala, Higuaín

Atalanta: Berisha; Mancini, Caldara, Masiello; Hateboer, De Roon, Freuler, Spinazzola; Cristante; Ilicic and Papu Gómez
