Atalanta vs Torino prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-01-31 17:00.
[p]Atalanta twice came from behind against Barcelona on Wednesday, but their 2-2 away draw saw them narrowly miss out on an automatic place in the UEFA Champions League last 16. La Dea must quickly park that disappointment and switch their focus back to reviving their faltering title hopes, which have taken a hit thanks to just one win across the last five Serie A games (D3, L1) – a huge come down after a run of 11 consecutive wins before Christmas.[/p]
[p]The sole defeat across their recent sequence came at Gewiss Stadium against Napoli (3-2), and they’re now in danger of losing consecutive home games in this competition for the first time since November 2023. Hosting Torino seemingly gives Gian Piero Gasperini’s men a good chance of avoiding that fate though, as Atalanta have won their last two home top-flight H2Hs and could now win three such matches for the first time in history![/p]
[p]Torino are chasing a little piece of history themselves, as a 2-1 win in the reverse fixture affords them the chance to record a first H2H league double since 2015/16. They might have a degree of confidence too after a 2-0 win over Cagliari last week extended their unbeaten run to five matches (W1, D4), meaning the Granata could now win consecutive league games for the first time since August – a pair of wins which included the reverse fixture.[/p]
[p]Manager Paolo Vanoli won’t be getting too carried away just yet, as Torino have only won one of their last eight trips (D3, L4), although all six points were won across the last four trips. That’s a record made all the more impressive by the fact Torino have made things hard for themselves of late, conceding first in their last two away league games (D2), and in their last awayday against Fiorentina they were reduced to ten men in the 33rd minute![/p]
[p]Players to watch: Atalanta’s Charles De Ketelaere has seen his last 15 Serie A goals come across 12 wins, with four of his last five strikes at this venue arriving before half-time. Ché Adams tends to strike later, with six of his last seven league goals scored after the break, including Torino’s winner (2-1) in the reverse fixture.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Ahead of the round, Atalanta have won the most Serie A points from losing positions this season (15).[/p]
