Torino vs Atalanta prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2023-04-28 18:45.
With European football out of realistic reach and the relegation zone firmly in the rear view mirror, few teams scream ānothing to play forā more than Torino. While nothing may be on offer in the table in terms of prizes, Torino are still playing for a highest Serie A (SA) finish since 2018/19 when they finished seventh, a feat they will achieve should they better last seasonās finish of tenth.
Beginning that run to an impressive top-half finish against Atalanta likely wonāt be straightforward, especially as Torino have lost the last three home H2Hs by a whopping 13-3 aggregate scoreline! There appears little chance of that improving here if Torinoās SA form in Saturday-held home games this season continues (D1, L4), with all four defeats coming via the same 1-0 scoreline.
Currently occupying seventh spot, Atalantaās fate remains yet undecided as they wait on who wins the Coppa Italia to learn if SA will have seven European spots up for grabs or not. In the meantime, La Dea can make sure that doesnāt get left to chance as they continue to hunt down a top-four finish, with just four points separating them from fourth spot ahead of the round.
With three wins from five SA games (D1, L1), Gian Piero Gasperiniās men are certainly finding form at an opportune time, with a 3-1 victory over top-four rivals Roma last time out offering renewed hope in their European chase. While Atalanta strengthening their push certainly isnāt assured, goals are definitely likely to be on the menu here, with the last seven H2Hs between the two sides seeing a whopping average of 5.6 goals per game scored!
Players to watch: Torinoās Yann Karamoh has found his shooting boots since the SA halfway point, netting three game opening goals in that time. Teun Koopmeiners netted a hat-trick in Atalantaās 3-1 victory in the reverse, one of a run of 13 successive winning club goalscoring appearances.
Hot stat: Torino are the only SA side not to have scored a home league goal in the opening 15 minutes this season.
