Atalanta take on the visitors Torino in the round 23 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Saturday, February 1st at Gewiss Stadium (Bergamo).
Atalanta continues to impress. La Dea has been playing under Gian Piero Gasperini for quite some time now, and he has led them to Champions League football in the past. More importantly, after a slight dip, he managed to bring them back to the top last season—finishing fourth in Serie A and winning the Europa League. Now, they are making a strong effort to maintain that level. Atalanta returned to the Champions League in style, securing qualification for the knockout rounds with early victories. This week, they played out a thrilling 2-2 draw away to Barcelona. In Serie A, after a shaky start, they not only improved but even briefly topped the league table. However, mid-winter brought some struggles. They lost 2-0 to Inter in the Supercoppa Italiana and went through a winless streak in the league. That said, they have bounced back, including a recent win over Como. Atalanta's resurgence has them firmly in the top-four race, and their attacking play remains one of the most exciting in Italy.

Torino has a storied history, but it has been a long time since they made any real impact in terms of European qualification. Even under Ivan Jurić, while they established themselves as a solid mid-table team, they never took the next step. This summer, they replaced him with Paolo Vanoli, who earned promotion with Venezia through the playoffs. He had a great start in Turin, securing three wins and 11 points in the first five rounds. However, a Coppa Italia loss to Empoli seemed to disrupt their momentum. Since then, they have won just a handful of matches. In that context, their string of draws, starting in late December, actually felt like an improvement—especially given that they held Juventus to a 1-1 draw in the derby. That run was finally broken last week when they secured a 2-0 win over Cagliari. While Torino remains inconsistent, their defensive organization has improved, making them a tougher side to break down.
Atalanta has had the upper hand in recent meetings, but Torino has won the last two home fixtures between the sides. The home team is clearly stronger—bet on Atalanta to win with a -1 handicap.
Prediction for the match: Atalanta to win with -1.0 handicap.
