&lt;p&gt;Inter and Napoli sit one point apart while Atalanta are three points off the top with Juventus only three points behind them. With 11 matches until the end of the season, the face-off at the Allianz Stadium will be somewhat of a Scudetto play-off. If Juventus were to win, it would be their sixth in a row, they would peg their opponents back and it would make for a proper top-four battle at the end of the season. While the Bianconeri have found some of the consistency that they were lacking at the start of the season, the Nerazzurri have alternated between a loss and a draw in their last six matches, but despite this, they will be looking to win. Taking all three points against Juve will propel them towards the top two ahead of their clash next week at the Gewiss Stadium against Inter.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;JUVENTUS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Juventus have been playing with a 4-2-3-1 this season, but I think that this team is still a work in progress as Thiago Motta still hasn’t found a permanent and guaranteed player for eight of the 11 positions. But, he is a manager who likes rotation in the squad.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Depending on the players on the pitch, their set-up changes. Conceição likes to get in behind for example, Yildiz tends to stay central while Mbangoula and Nico Gonzalez both have their own playstyles. The real difference in how the game is played comes from the two in midfield. Locatelli and Thuram are being picked at the moment and I think they are the most reliable pair as the former has presence, he’s comfortable on the ball and plays good through balls while the latter brings strength, runs and gets in the box. McKennie is also a good option as he makes good crosses and works very hard for the squad. Koopmeiners, on the other hand, hasn’t found his place in this Juventus side yet whilst at Atalanta he was key in the midfield and further up the pitch.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I think Kolo Muani will lead the line, he attacks the space and breaks up defences. At this point, in an emotional sense, he has a bit more than Vlahovic who I think is a great forward but is going through a tough time. Without Conceição I think that Juve will start with Yildiz on the right, Nico on the left, with Koopmeiners behind the striker.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ATALANTA&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Atalanta always go about matches in a similar way so I’m not expecting anything. They are certainly more fixed in their ways than Juve.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In Gian Piero Gasperini’s 3-4-2-1, they all know their roles and the Atalanta coach knows he can count on a player like Marten De Roon who has been working with the boss for years now. He always works hard for his teammates and he knows the team’s playstyle and set-up perfectly. He’s a player that is fundamental to Gasp’s side and he will be important both technically and for morale in a match where his experience and playstyle will be key.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Then, as I was saying, I don’t think there will be any surprises. Retegui has scored 21 goals and he is a guaranteed starter in his record-breaking season. Lookman and De Keteleare guarantee quality and quantity, Maldini is back available and maybe he could feature off the bench like Samardzic and Brescianini. The only doubts could be the full-back where I think Bellanova could start with Cuadrado as an impact sub, and Zappacosta will be on the other side while Pasalic will play alongside De Roon.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HOW TO WIN&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Juve could win through their forward’s speed, attacking the space and looking to find Koopmeiners or McKennie making late runs into the box. When you play man for man, late runs in behind can cause problems. Atalanta are at risk when the central defenders are attacked head-on. This is like what happened when Verona got ahead: wide play, ball forward, ball in behind. Take this example, Yildiz into Locatelli, Kolo Muani attacks the space, finding Koopmeiners who finishes the move.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;520bd0ba-a888-4026-b4a6-6afd52086d10&#34; data-image-id=&#34;520bd0ba-a888-4026-b4a6-6afd52086d10&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/8ada4840-2a94-4bd4-96b8-260fda4b5e05/juventus.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;520bd0ba-a888-4026-b4a6-6afd52086d10&#34; data-image-id=&#34;520bd0ba-a888-4026-b4a6-6afd52086d10&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;I like it a lot when Thiago makes rotations, however only when it works out. In the Coppa Italia against Empoli, Cambiaso kept coming into midfield, but automatically there were two other movements: the full-back got wide while the centre-mid moved to create space. These rotations are clever and useful, but it is always the quick decision-making and the execution that counts, otherwise, it gets predictable.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Atalanta, on the other hand, will be dynamic and will look to harm Juve with their rhythm of play.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Out of possession, Gasperini’s side is ultra-aggressive: while you are regrouping, Atalanta come at you with constant pressure. In possession, they look to break quickly with rapid forward runs, attacking all available space. Pass and move, pass and move, pass and move, this is how they do it. Atalanta are never static on the ball, whoever makes the pass then goes on to attack a new space.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If they play like this against Juve, who are less dynamic, they could make them struggle.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;dcd6aef4-48b6-43b3-9fc8-5a84b8a10422&#34; data-image-id=&#34;dcd6aef4-48b6-43b3-9fc8-5a84b8a10422&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/a86aa4cb-a7df-499e-9cb7-355c75aad21f/atalanta.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;dcd6aef4-48b6-43b3-9fc8-5a84b8a10422&#34; data-image-id=&#34;dcd6aef4-48b6-43b3-9fc8-5a84b8a10422&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Key players&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tactically, it will be the player supporting the striker, either Koopmeiners or McKennie, making the late runs. I would personally play them both: McKennie on the right, Koop through the middle, with Yildiz on the left.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At the moment, Lookman is Atalanta’s difference maker. He is fast, his final ball is good and in 1-v-1s he can either finish himself or set up a teammate. He is a complete player, who breaks up the game. He could be decisive, maybe with a goal, but also with his movement and his set-up play for Retegui.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Photo Getty Images)&lt;/p&gt;
