Atalanta v Torino

Atalanta vs Torino Preview

Fresh from their Europa League final 3-0 win over German club Bayer Leverkusen, Atalanta have secured their place in next season's Champions League. Gian Piero Gasperini's side are enjoying a purple patch of form while Torino recorded an impressive 3-1 home win against AC Milan in last weekend's Serie A action which helped the visitors move up into ninth place in the Serie A table.

Atalanta currently occupy fifth place in the Serie A standings along with putting together an impressive five-match winning streak in the domestic top flight, Sunday's hosts look to be well set for further success here against mid-table Torino.

Victories against Monza, Empoli, Salernitana, Roma and Lecce respectively have virtually assured Gian Piero Gasperini's side a top finish but the hosts will want to make sure of a top five finish with all three points here on Sunday evening.

Results on home soil at their Gewiss Stadium have also been impressive for Atalanta as the hosts have won nine of their last 11 matches including notable wins against AC Milan, Lazio and Roma.

Torino will consider they have achieved a successful season in the Italian top flight this term as the visitors occupy a place in the top half of the Serie A table thanks to recent back-to-back wins against Verona and AC Milan which put an end to a previous five-match winless run in Serie A.

The visitors had previously slipped to losses at the hands of Empoli and Inter Milan while also picking up points in draws with Juventus, Frosinone and Bologna but it's worth noting that the two losses were inflicted upon Torino on their travels.

Indeed, Torino have struggled to pick up wins on the road on a regular basis as Ivan Juric's side have managed to capture just three wins out of their last 13 outings on their travels which includes wins at Cagliari, Udinese and Verona while also slipping to five defeats as well which may just play into Atalanta's hands in this upcoming clash at the Gewiss Stadium.

Within these 13 away games, Torino have also failed to score in five of these games which could be another factor in determining the outcome of this encounter.

Atalanta v Torino Verdict

Atalanta have lost just once in their last eight meetings against Torino and confidence will be high amongst the Atalanta camp having become recent champions of the Europa League following a comprehensive win against the new German Bundesliga title holders Bayer Leverkusen, and the hosts will be eager to get the job done here.
