Torino starts the second season under Ivan Yurich. To begin with, the Croatian raised the ambitious club at least to the top half of the standings. In the previous draw, the Pomegranates were 17th. Of course, the fans were waiting for further progress. But in the summer there were significant losses: the leading center back, Bremer, was sold to Juventus, Ansaldi, Thomas Rincon and even Belotti, the captain and scorer, were released. At the same time, they did not find a worthy replacement for them, and the coach even grappled because of this near the base of the club with the sports director. But, curiously, it even helped. Several newcomers emerged, including Vlašić and Miranchuk. The Russian, loaned from Atalanta, scored the Bulls' first goal of the season and helped beat Monza on the road... But the he got injury and was replaced at half-time. A week later, Torino showed a decent result in the form of a goalless draw at home with Lazio. With a powerful capital project, they finished in a goalless draw. But in the last round they beat Cremonese on the road. There, a Croatian newcomer scored a goal.
Atalanta have been playing well with Torino lately. In the last 5 head-to-head matches, they won three times with 2 draws. Last season, Bergamaschi were better on the road, 2-1, and drew 4-4 at home. Bookmakers consider Atalanta, especially playing at home, as the clear favorite of the pair. But Torino also looks combat-ready. So pay attention to the sentence "both to score".
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score.
