Coming off a very difficult week, Juventus host Atalanta at the Allianz Stadium in the matchday 19 of Serie A on Sunday at 20:45 local time.
Juventus have been handed a 15-point penalty by the Federal Court of Appeals on Friday as a result of the investigation into the plusvalenza capital gains case.
This leaves them on 22 points in tenth position alongside Bologna and Empoli, outside of the European spots the club usually contends for. They were previously in third position in Serie A behind league leaders, Napoli, and AC Milan.
In the last league match Juventus were trashed out 5-1 by Napoli on Saturday last week, although on Thursday they performed well in the Coppa Italia round of 16 and beat Monza 2-1, thanks to two goals from Moise Kean and Federico Chiesa.
