The only thing lacking in last night’s match against Juventus was the goal, with thrills and spills hogging the spotlight of the night. According to the stats kindly provided by Stats Perform, Atalanta set a historic best in the Sunday soirée: for the first time in their history, the Nerazzurri have claimed 5 clean sheets in their first 7 Serie A matches, with Atalanta currently on a “leakproof streak” on the grounds of the three back-to-back clean sheets secured against Cagliari, Hellas Verona and, lastly, Juventus. Putting also the UEFA Europa League curtain-raiser against Raków into the picture, Atalanta’s goalies have quenched our opponents’ killer instinct six times in 8 seasonal matches.

As an added trivia on the topic, not having conceded a single goal in the four home matches between the UEL and the Serie A played thus far at the Gewiss Stadium, the opponents’ scoreboard still lays unmoved since last season: the last time Atalanta conceded a home goal dates back to the 5-2 win over Monza on Matchday 38 of the 2022/23 campaign.

Circling back to the match against Juventus, the Nerazzurri fired 11 out of their 15 total shots during the second half of the game, amounting to 73% of the total. On the grounds of the four strokes loosened throughout the game, Éderson was the Atalanta player flaunting the highest offensive barrage.
