Atalanta BC vs Torino: Match Prediction
Atalanta BC have shown progress in recent league results, but one should not expect a very bright attacking display from the side. Overall the home side have not excelled in creating chances even at their own ground: in their last eight home Serie A matches the players managed to score more than one goal only twice, and those occurrences came in matches with Cagliari and Fiorentina. At the same time the hosts have been reliable at the back: in 9 of their last 10 home league meetings Atalanta BC conceded no more than one goal.
Torino also cannot boast high scoring, especially in away fixtures. In their last 13 away Serie A matches the team managed to score more than one goal only twice, and in six of those matches the visitors failed to score at all. On the other hand, the club has shown a significant improvement in defense: in 4 of their last 5 away league matches Torino kept a clean sheet.
We do not expect many goals in this matchup, so our prediction is as follows:
Prediction: Under 2.5 goals
* The starting lineup shown for each team is from their previous match in this competition.
