Atalanta and Juventus are ready to battle it out for glory in the Coppa Italia final this evening, a duel that could be the last dance for both coaches.

The match between La Dea and the Bianconeri kicks off at 20.00 UK time at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

Atalanta have been on fire under Gian Piero Gasperini this season and are fighting on multiple fronts, pushing for Champions League qualification as well as gearing up for their Europa League final with Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen.

The Bergamo outfit cannot count on the injured Emil Holm and Sead Kolasinac, and Gianluca Scamacca is unavailable through suspension.

Juventus have been in dire form in recent months under Massimiliano Allegri, managing just two wins in their last 15 consecutive league matches, a run that has almost certainly condemned their coach ahead of next season.

Mattia De Sciglio is out for the Old Lady with a muscle injury and Manuel Locatelli is suspended, but the rest of Allegri’s squad is available.

The two Serie A meetings between Atalanta and Juventus both ended in draws this campaign, ending 0-0 in Bergamo and 2-2 in Turin, leaving things uncertain for the Coppa Italia final.

Probable Coppa Italia final line-ups

Atalanta (3-4-2-1): Carnesecchi; Djimsiti, Hien, Scalvini; Zappacosta, de Roon, Ederson, Ruggeri; Koopmeiners, Pasalic; De Ketelaere.
