In its history, the Nerazzurri team has never won two games in a row against Juventus. In the Italian Cup the precedents are 16: 6 Juventus successes, 4 by Atalanta and 6 draws. Juventus have not conceded a goal in regulation time in all the last four Coppa Italia finals they have played, but lost the last one against Napoli on penalties. Juve have lost only one of their last 17 Coppa Italia matches (12 wins and 4 draws), against Atalanta in the quarter-finals of the 2018/19 edition (0-3). As mentioned, Atalanta only won one Italian Cup in 1963 and that was the only time they scored in the final: then 0-3 and 0-1 in 1987 against Napoli, 0-1 and 0-2 against Fiorentina in 1996, 0-2 in the dry final against Lazio in 2019.
