For Atalanta, managed by Gian Piero Gasperini, the season has been a rollercoaster of high-profile victories and perplexing domestic hiccups. After lifting the UEFA Europa League trophy last season, Atalanta have returned to Europe’s top competition in style—making waves in the Champions League group phase.
Domestically, however, their form has not always reflected the same level of dominance. A recent 3-2 loss to league leaders Napoli and a handful of draws have stunted their momentum in Serie A. Nonetheless, the team retains an identity built on high-tempo, attack-minded football.
Their star forward, Mateo Retegui, has been prolific since joining from Genoa; he delivered a brace in the comeback victory against Como and has earned consistent praise for his work rate and finishing prowess.
The last results reflect Atalanta’s undeniable attacking potential, but also highlight the inconsistent nature of their domestic campaign. Coach Gian Piero Gasperini is renowned for rotating his squad to keep the team fresh, especially with the intensity of midweek European matches.
Gasperini’s system thrives on versatile wing-backs (Zappacosta, Ruggeri, or Cuadrado) tasked with supporting both offense and defense. The central core is typically anchored by Teun Koopmeiners and de Roon (if fit) or Ederson.
Further ahead, attacking midfielders like Charles De Ketelaere or Lazar Samardzic often slot in behind the striker tandem. Up front, Retegui has become an undisputed figure as the main focal point, with Nicolo Zaniolo bringing pace and creativity on the flanks.
Meanwhile, Marten de Roon sustained a head injury during a recent league match, but early signs indicate he could return in time for this fixture, subject to passing final concussion protocols.
Atalanta’s main loss is the absence of Ademola Lookman, who is expected to return to the field in mid-February at the earliest.
Atalanta also will be without defender Odilon Kossounou, who is sidelined with an adductor injury, and forward Gianluca Scamacca, who remains out due to a knee issue.
Atalanta predicted lineup vs Torino (3-4-1-2): Carnesecchi (GK); Djimsiti, Scalvini, Toloi; Zappacosta, Koopmeiners, Edersvon, Ruggeri; Samardzic; Zaniolo, Retegui.
Unavailable: Ademola Lookman, Odilon Kossounou, Gianluca Scamacca.
Questionable: Marten de Roon.
Torino, under Paolo Vanoli, are developing a reputation as a resilient side. They have bagged points in tough situations, even when reduced to ten men, and are forging an identity that blends a compact defensive structure with quick transitions.
Torino have encountered their fair share of draws, some from losing positions, some where they were pegged back from winning positions, but their competitiveness is evident. Notable results include a 2-0 win over Cagliari and a gritty 1-1 draw at Fiorentina, a match where they played over an hour with ten men.
Vanoli have shown a propensity for a 4-2-3-1 shape, though situationally he shifts into a more cautious 4-4-2 if circumstances demand. The wide players are crucial in his system.
Nikola Vlašić often plays through the middle or on the left side of an attacking trio, while the likes of Valentino Lazaro or Yann Karamoh can interchange and cut inside to facilitate interplay with the central striker, often Che Adams or Antonio Sanabria.
Expect a disciplined approach from Torino, particularly away at one of Serie A’s toughest venues. They will try to remain compact, often dropping into a mid-to-low block out of possession, then transitioning quickly with direct balls into Che Adams or wide forwards like Karamoh.
The full-backs, often paired as Pedersen (or Gravillon) on the right and Ricardo Rodriguez or Lazaro on the left, provide width but are expected to remain mindful of Atalanta’s lethal counterattack.
Torino will be without Kosovan full-back Mergim Vojvoda, ruled out with a calf injury, and defender Perr Schuurs, who has missed the majority of the campaign due to a knee issue. Meanwhile, striker Duvan Zapata and midfielder Emirhan İlkhan continue their recoveries from ACL tears, while midfielder Ivan Ilić remains sidelined with a muscle injury.
Torino predicted lineup vs Atalanta (4-2-3-1): V. Milinkovic-Savic (GK); Pedersen, Maripan, Buongiorno, Lazaro; Ricci, Tameze; Vlasic, Karamoh, Bellanova; Che Adams.
Unavailable: Mergim Vojvoda, Perr Schuurs, Duvan Zapata, Emirhan İlkhan.
Bet hereAtalanta’s attacking prowess and home advantage make them favorites in this encounter. However, Torino’s recent form suggests they won’t go down without a fight.
The midfield battle between Ricci and Koopmeiners will be pivotal in determining the outcome.
Atalanta’s superior depth and attacking talent should see them prevail, but Torino’s fighting spirit means this could be a closely contested affair. In my opinion in this match, we should expect a hard win for Atalanta.
Atalanta will likely adopt a high-pressing game, aiming to dominate possession and pin Torino back in their half. Their wingbacks, Zappacosta and Ruggeri, will provide width and support the attack.
Torino, on the other hand, will focus on staying compact defensively and hitting Atalanta on the counter. With Adams leading the line, they will look to exploit Atalanta’s high defensive line with quick transitions.
Considering Atalanta’s attacking strength and Torino’s ability to exploit defensive lapses, a Both Teams to Score pick offers good value. Torino have scored in their last five matches, while Atalanta’s recent defensive struggles make this a likely scenario.
