Their opponents Atalanta, who are placed eighth on the league table, are coming off a comfortable 3-0 victory over Fiorentina in their last encounter in this competition.
The two teams played to a 2-2 draw in the last Serie A meeting between Juventus and Atalanta in July 2020.
Cristiano Ronaldo, the Juventus winger, believes the team is on the right path following their win over Genoa.
“The goal is to win, always. After beating a team like Barcelona, you find confidence and the strength to overcome even a team like Genoa, which had a very defensive attitude," Ronaldo said.
"After the Champions League it's always tough, but the coach made us understand that we had to change and we did it.
"Every year, Juve's goal is to win the league title and the Champions League, only one team succeeds, but we are confident and convinced that we can win something important.”
