Juventus v Atalanta: Match preview, how to watch and probable lineups

Juventus wraps up summer preparation with a friendly against Atalanta in Bergamo on Saturday, 16 August 2025, scheduled to kick off at 20:45 CEST.

It’s the 26th edition of the Trofeo Achille e Cesare Bortolotti, honoring two historic Atalanta presidents. The match serves as the last rehearsal ahead of Juventus’s Serie A opener against Parma on 24 August.

Juventus enters this match following a pre-season that included victories over Borussia Dortmund and Juventus Next Gen, plus another fixture against Reggiana.

This is a critical opportunity for coach Igor Tudor to solidify the team’s system, particularly testing the chemistry of his attacking trio, which includes summer signing Jonathan David.

Jonathan David, the Canadian striker from Lille, recently signed a five-year contract with Juventus and brings fresh firepower to the front line. His integration into the squad, especially alongside Yıldız and Conceição, is a point of major interest.

Atalanta, led by Ivan Jurić, uses this fixture to further shape its identity after the long-term departure of Gasperini. The match allows both teams to stress-test tactical setups and squad cohesion before competitive football begins.

The Trofeo Bortolotti is traditionally decided in a 90-minute match and, if tied, goes to penalties. It also features awards like the “Valter Polini” for fair play and the “Mario Bresciani” award for the standout player.

Probable Lineups

Juventus (3-4-2-1): Di Gregorio – Kalulu, Bremer, Gatti – Joao Mario, Locatelli, Thuram, Cambiaso – Conceição, Yildiz – David.

Atalanta (3-4-2-1): Carnesecchi – Djimsiti, Hien, Scalvini – Bellanova, De Roon, Ederson, Zappacosta – De Ketelaere, Pasalic – Scamacca.
