Atalanta vs Torino prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2026-01-09 19:45.
[p]A resurgent Atalanta look to gain more ground on the Serie A European places when they host a Torino side who’ve enjoyed recent away assignments.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]After a poor start to the season, Atalanta’s recovery shows no sign of slowing down. La Dea returned to Serie A’s top seven with a statement 2-0 win away at fellow European contenders Bologna on Wednesday to leapfrog them in the table, while it also served as an eighth victory in their last ten matches across all competitions (L2). The impact made by manager Raffaele Palladino since arriving is highlighted by only the pre-round top four earning more points than Atalanta’s 15 since his appointment, and they’ll continue to make further inroads should a stellar run of five wins from their last six competitive home games continue (L1).[/p]
[p]A tough trip therefore awaits a Torino side plagued by inconsistency. None of their last eight matches have ended level (W3, L5), with a thumping 3-0 win at strugglers Verona followed by a 2-1 midweek home defeat against Udinese. The familiarity of a comfortable mid-table position means that Torino can afford those slip-ups, as they start the round equidistant in terms of points to the top six and bottom three. Marco Baroni’s men will be grateful to hit the road here having won back-to-back away games without conceding, though they’ve not won three successive Serie A trips since May 2023.[/p]

[p]Atalanta have lost just one of their last nine home games against Torino (W4, D4), and were 3-0 winners in September’s reverse fixture. Torino have scored just twice across their last three games here, but netted ten times in their prior three visits.[/p]
