The stressed Juventus will try to recover from the painful defeat they suffered in the Champions League when they host Atlanta tonight (Saturday) in the 14th round of the Italian league. Inter will be hosted by Dor Peretz’s Venice. Ampoli made a comeback and defeated Fiorentina 1: 2 in the derby, a victory for Sampdoria as well.
Juventus – Atlanta 1: 0
Massimiliano Allegri’s side suffered a very painful defeat from Chelsea on Tuesday with a resounding 4-0 at Stamford Bridge in the final round of the Champions League. She hoped to recover in the critical top-flight clash against Atlanta, but the Bergamo team achieved its first away win against its rival after 32 (!) Years. The conqueror of the Victory Gate then, somewhere in 1989 was none other than the legendary Claudio Caniga. Yuba knew they had to win to stay close to fourth, but in the 28th minute Duban Spata, who scored in Atlanta’s crazy 3-3 Champions League win over the Young Boys, prevailed with a powerful close-range kick after a big hole in the defense. Allegri’s team tried to respond, but lost the injured Keiza and was replaced at the break. Paolo Dybala almost equalized with a deep free-kick in extra time, but his ball was stuck in the crossbar. Atalanta was based in fourth place, from which Yuba has moved up to seven points and if something unexpected happens, the Bianconeri will see the Champions League away from home next season.
Venice – Inter (21:45)
The Narazuri are in a great mood after beating Napoli 2: 3 in the league and inflicting their first loss on them and beating Shakhtar Donetsk 0: 2 in the Champions League. Now the champions will try to record a fourth victory in the last five rounds when they host Venice, who come cheering themselves after two league victories in a row. Dor Peretz will hope to get minutes with the host.
Ampoli – Fiorentina 1: 2
Dusan Valahovic continued his impressive 2021 year with his 28th goal and set a club record (most goals in a calendar year, surpassing Hamarin who scored 27 in 1960) but Ampoli made a dramatic turnaround and celebrated in the derby. The Serbian striker enjoyed a brace from Jose Cayejon and allowed in the 57th minute, but substitute Filippo Bandinelli equalized in the 87th minute and Andrea Pinamonti finished a beautiful team move and decided two minutes later.
