Hard-luck defending champions Juventus (2-3-3, 9 points) will face contending squad Atalanta (4-2-2, 14 points) in a Serie A 2015-2016 season game at the Juventus Stadium in Turin on Sunday, October 25.
Juve had managed to slightly recover from their disappointing season with only one loss in their last six games to hover near the middle of the league table.
Their last match was a goalless tie with erstwhile league leader Inter Milan at the latter's Stadio Giuseppe Meazza last Sunday, as reported by SkySports.
La Vecchia Signora gave Internazionale a hard-fought encounter even as Inter midfielder Marcelo Brozović almost found the back of Gianluigi Buffon's net at the 27th minute with a curling strike, which was tipped into the cross bar by the legendary goalkeeper.
The two teams held on for the standstill amidst numerous chances until full time.
Meanwhile, La Dea sailed past Capri, 3-0, in their Sunday match at the Stadio Atleti Azzurri d'Italia, via ESPN.
Chilean striker Mauricio Pinilla, Argentine winger Alejandro Gómez, and Italian midfielder Luca Cigarini scored a goal each at the 7th, 43rd, and 63rd minutes to give head coach Edy Reja his fourth win in eight games.
Like Juve, Atalanta had lost only once in its last six outings, but playing in front of their hometown fans would push Massimiliano Allegri's side to prevail against I Nerazzurri this time.
The prediction is a tough 1-0 triumph for Juventus.
Juventus starting lineup (4-3-3 formation): Buffon; Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini, Evra; Khedira, Marchisio, Pogba; Cuadrado, Zaza, Morata
Atalanta starting lineup (4-3-3 formation): Sportiello; Masiello, Stendardo, Toloi, Drame; Gollini, de Roon, Cigarini; Moralez, Pinilla, Gomez
