Preview: Juventus vs. Atalanta BC

Sports Mole looks ahead as Juventus look to make it 40 Serie A games unbeaten at home when Atalanta visit Turin.

Juventus go into Friday night's home game against Atalanta BC still with a healthy seven-point lead at the top of Serie A, despite just one win in their last three league games.

With Roma also stuttering of late, Juve remain secure at the summit and now look to improve their league-best home record.

Massimiliano Allegri's side are unbeaten at Juventus Stadium in the league this season and also haven't suffered a Serie A defeat at home since January 2013, winning 35 and drawing four of the games since then.

Friday night's game will be the first of two at home in four days, and Allegri is likely to have one eye on Tuesday's visit from Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League when picking his team.

Allegri will have a near-fully fit team to choose from, with Carlos Tevez available again after suspension and Martin Cacares close to returning from injury.

While Juve are a total of 14 games unbeaten in Serie A, Atalanta have lost three of their last four to sit just above the bottom three in 17th.

Sunday's home defeat at the hands of Inter Milan was their heaviest of the season as they let in four goals for the first time in 2014-15, making it seven past them in two games.

Juve's recent record against The Goddess is excellent, with 18 wins and two draws since Atalanta's last win in 2001. The reverse fixture was a 3-0 Juve win back in September.
