Torino vs Atalanta Bergamo Free Betting Picks
The Torino did not live up to expectations at all last year. The team got scared and finished an insufficient 16th place in Serie A with only 5 units ahead of the relegation zone. After unconvincing preparation matches (1 win, 1 draw, and 1 loss), striker Andrea Belotti’s partners got off to a bad start in the championship last weekend. Traveling on the lawn of Fiorentina, they bowed logically in view of the post-match statistics (1-0).
Atalanta is now considered a stronghold of Italian football. In the league, Gian Piero Gasperini’s men took 3rd place in the standings, synonymous with qualification for the Champions League. Still present in C1 after confinement, they lost, not without demerit, against PSG in the quarter-final in mid-August (1-2). The Bergamo-based team subsequently won their only preparation match against Pro Sesto (Serie C, 4-1). Atalanta did not play last weekend and will therefore start their championship this Saturday.
The workforce for Torino vs Atalanta Bergamo
For Torino, it is important to point out the defections of rookie Ricardo Rodriguez (ex AC Milan) and the usual holders Lyanco and Baselli. Arrived during the offseason from Sampdoria, midfielder Linetty should align a new tenure under his new colors. The Italian internationals Sirigu, Izzo, and Belotti (16 goals in Serie A last year) are still there. The latter should be associated in front of Simone Zaza.
The workforce of Atalanta is largely reduced by the injuries of goalkeeper No. 1 Gollini, the important Ilicic, and recruits Miranchuk (ex Lokomotiv Moscow) and Pessina (very good on loan to Hellas last year). In addition, the young Argentine defender on loan from Juve Romero and framework defender Djimsiti are suspended. During the offseason, the team was reinforced with the recruitments of midfielder Muratore (ex Juventus) and striker Lammers (ex PSV) in addition to Russian Aleksey Miranchuk and Argentinian Cristian Romero. The best attack in Serie A last year, Gasperini can still count on his strong men Gomez and Zapata.
