JUV vs ATN Fantasy Preview:
Juventus will be riding into this game soaring on confidence as they tasted their last defeat in October against Barcelona. Post that defeat, Andrea Pirlo and his wards have posted such a resonating brand of football, the outfits that came in contention with the Old Lady have not just been eliminated but has been done so in emphatic fashion.
Atalanta, on the contrary, has been in the midst of a bumpy ride recently as in their last five games they have managed to wring out three victories, losing one and drawing one.

Tomorrow’s battle between these two sides will be a crucial one as a victory for Juventus will be propelling them within touching distance of the table-toppers while a win for Atalanta will see an improvement in the points tally. These are our fantasy picks for this high-voltage game which can turn into a goal-fest.

Picks to consider:
Cristiano Ronaldo will be an imperative pick for today’s game as his predatory instincts are unparalleled throughout the world. The day he gets going, his opponents can very well settle for a stroll in the park.

2. Duvan Zapata
