According to Milan Sports, Juventus will host Atalanta in Serie A, and Exor Group CEO John Elkann is expected to attend the match at the Allianz Stadium with his family. For Juventus, who are currently looking to regain their rhythm in the league, and for coach Spalletti, Elkann's presence is a sign of support.

Elkann and Spalletti have a good relationship, maintaining direct communication and frequently exchanging messages. Although it is only September, this match may not be decisive, but for Juventus it will undoubtedly be a tense occasion.

On one hand, injuries continue to affect Spalletti's squad. Juventus goalkeeper Kamil Grabara will undergo surgery, becoming the fourth Juventus player to require an operation in 20 days, following Kenan Yildiz, Khephren Thuram, and Locatelli. On the other hand, some fans have displayed posters evoking Antonio Conte, fueling nostalgia for the previous era.

Juventus is eager to return to winning ways in Serie A before the upcoming international break, hoping to ease mounting pressure from both the media and the standings.

Spalletti and his team found encouragement in the Europa League. On Thursday, Juventus defeated Dutch side NEC Nijmegen 5-0, and they now hope to carry that momentum into the league match against Atalanta. This fixture will also feature two former Juventus figures – Atalanta coach Maurizio Sarri and sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli.

Sarri led Juventus to the Serie A title in 2020, which remains the Bianconeri's most recent league championship; Giuntoli won the 2024 Coppa Italia with Juventus, the club's most recent trophy.
