Atalanta hosts Torino in round 21 of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Saturday, February 6th at Gewiss Stadium (Bergamo)
Atalanta made serious progress under Gasperini. The club is not a simple contender for the European Cups - it has reached the Champions League playoffs twice in a row. Not surprisingly, in the conflict between Gian Piero and the team leader Alejandro Gomez, the management took the side of the mentor and said goodbye to Papu without thinking twice. In general, the Goddess plays successfully even without its leader. But it can unexpectedly lose points either. In January, the club could not beat Genoa and Udinese. And especially painful was the home defeat to Lazio (1-3) in the last round, which threw Atalanta back to 7th place. The tight schedule played its role: before two matches in a row with the Eagles, there was a victory over Milan, and in the middle of the week, Atalanta played with Napoli in the cup.

The Bulls have already replaced Giampaolo with Nicola. And a certain effect is already being felt - at least Torino doesn’t suffer defeats anymore. But it cannot win under Davide either. Moreover, a team with a lineup that should have allowed it to fight for European cups is struggling to pull out draws. In the first match under the new coach, Torino at least showed fighting qualities. Losing 0-2 on the pitch of Benevento, the Bulls managed to tie thanks to the double of Zaza. Moreover, Simone scored the second goal in the 93rd minute. Due to the same late goal, the Bulls earned a point in the match with Fiorentina. But the Violets opened the scoring when they were already left with ten men. And Belotti scored his goal when Fiorentina picked up the second red card. It was Andrea who drew a foul from Milenkovic. The Serbian defender forced the visitors to play in the minority for almost half a time, and the forward used that advantage in the 88th minute.
In 2020, Atalanta was able to win both games with Torino, even though they were away. In January, the Goddess destroyed the Bulls with a humiliating 7-0 score, but in September, the Blue-Blacks were limited to 4-2. If Atalanta wants to stay in the quartet of leaders, it must deal with such opponents easily, despite the tight calendar. We recommend betting on the hosts’ victory with a -1 handicap.
Prediction for the match: Atalanta to win with -1.0 handicap
