Torino started the season well under Paolo Vanoli, who managed to form a strong team that competes equally against strong sides. They had decent results in their preseason performances and won against Cosenza in the Coppa Italia.
In the opening round of Serie A, they clinched a 2-2 draw against AC Milan at San Siro. While this result might seem commendable, it was bittersweet for Torino, as they squandered a 2-0 lead in the final minutes of the match.
Overall, Torino have a well-balanced and organized squad, with a solid defensive structure and an effective transition into attack. The pressure in the midfield is another key aspect of Vanoli’s gameplay, and if they can maintain their intensity and composure, Torino could pose a significant challenge to any opponent.
Atalanta enters this season riding high after finishing fourth in Serie A, earning a spot in the Champions League. At the same time, they won the Europa League, where they stunned Bayer Leverkusen with a 3-0 victory in the final.
Despite this success, Bergamasci did not look good in the preseason, losing twice and drawing once. They also faced defeat against Real Madrid (2-0) in the European Super Cup.
However, Atalanta’s Serie A campaign kicked off in spectacular fashion. Gasperini’s men visited Lecce and crushed their opponents with a dominant 4-0 win. Braces from both Mateo Retegui and Marco Brescianini sealed the deal for guests. This emphatic victory will inspire the team to arrive in Turin with thoughts of victory.
Torino are usually a comfortable opponent for Atalanta. Gian Piero Gasperini’s side have only lost once in the past nine occasions while winning six times and drawing twice.
While Torino is known for being a strong side at home, they have shown defensive vulnerabilities under Paolo Vanoli. The match against Milan highlighted these issues, where a lapse in concentration saw them drop valuable points after leading 2-0.
I think Atalanta is in much better shape now. They’ve been active during the summer transfer window and signed quality footballers. In addition, Marco Brescianini and Mateo Retegui’s recent goals in their opening match will certainly boost their confidence.
While the match will be tense for both sides, we think Atalanta will eventually emerge victorious. Expect the guests to grab three points.
Atalanta began Serie A with a convincing victory, and both teams are in good shape, so we can expect an exchange of goals here. Paolo Vanoli’s Torino has been playing a more attacking and productive style of football, which increases the chances of both teams finding the back of the net.
Atalanta’s offensive strength is well-known, and it’s hard to imagine them leaving the pitch without scoring. Historical data also supports this expectation, as six of the last eight head-to-head clashes between these teams have ended with both sides scoring.
Based on the following stats and the current form of both teams, we think that we will see another exciting encounter. Expect both teams to score in this matchup.
