Atalanta hosts Torino in round 20 of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Thursday, January 6th at Gewiss Stadium (Bergamo)
We are all used to Atalanta as an attacking team that scores goals without any problems. But lately, the Black and Blues seemed to have run out of ideas. In the last round, they shared points with Genoa (0-0). Atalanta held the initiative throughout the entire match (about 70% of ball possession) but delivered only three shots on target. And before the final segment of the match (when the fans saw a bunch of longballs), the Goddess did not create practically anything dangerous in the opponents’ box. In the last three rounds of Serie A, the team from Bergamo scored only three goals (one own goal and accurate shots from the reservists, Miranchuk and Koopmeiners). The result is quite modest. Atalanta scored three goals or more in only six of the last nine matches in Serie A. And the Black and Blues failed to do so in the first head-to-head match against Torino (1-2). Then the score was 0-1 up to the 81st minute, and the guys from Bergamo pulled out the victory in added time, although they played very poorly.

Torino has the lowest production indicators in Serie A. In 19 matches with the participation of the Bulls, only 42 goals were scored in total (2.21 per match, on average). Their away statistics are generally something from the other world. Torino scored only four goals and conceded nine times in nine away matches. The Bulls earned only five points and gained only one victory on foreign pitches. It happened back in the 4th round. Torino has never won in the last eight away matches (two draws and six defeats). Under 3.5 goals scored were recorded in all cases without exception. Seven games ended with Under 2.5, and five matches even “pleased” the fans with Under 1.5 goals scored.
Atalanta loses at home only to strong opponents, like Roma, Villarreal, AC Milan, and Fiorentina. They are contenders for European competitions, who have big ambitions and good resources. But the Blue-Blacks will surely have a difficult time in the match against unyielding Torino, and we choose a cautious option for betting.
Prediction for the match: Atalanta to win with +0.5 handicap and Under 3.5 goals scored
