Atalanta vs Torino: The Bulls won't leave Bergamo without points

Torino has failed to beat Atalanta in four games in a row. Will Ivan Đurić's side be able to fight for points in the upcoming game? Our prediction is the Bulls won't lose this time!

In recent years, Atalanta has been making good progress, but they have had a disappointing season. They are currently only eighth in the standings. The reason for that is numerous injuries to key players. As a result, the team has played only a few games as a competitive squad. They won just once in six games in April, beating Venice 3:1, losing three more league games, and missing out on a Europa League exit after losing in the quarter-finals to Leipzig.

For Torino, the current season is going very smoothly. They have drawn five times in their previous nine games, won twice, and lost twice more. Torino's defense is their strong side, but their attacking performance has big problems, mainly because of the regular injuries to Andrea Belotti. Nevertheless, Torino currently sits 11th in the standings.

Atalanta and Torino were at opposite ends of the table last season, and this season they are only two points apart. The Turin side has made solid progress under Ivan Djuric, while the Bergamas cannot boast their former stability. Moreover, the Bianconeri have failed to beat the Bulls in three successive head-to-head encounters, so we suggest betting on Torino not to lose for 2.53.

Atalanta and Torino have not been overly productive this season. Nevertheless, we can expect a high goal-scoring activity in this upcoming encounter. In their five previous meetings, the opponents scored 27 goals against each other (5.40 goals per game on average). With this in mind, we suggest betting on a total over 2.5 for 1.725.

The Colombian pairing of Zapata and Muriel, who have terrified opponents in recent years, has finally reunited in the Atalanta attack. Still, the forwards have hardly played together this season as injuries followed them. Now they are healthy and ready to help the Black and Blue. Duvan Zapata is excellent, who has only appeared in 20 games but has already scored ten goals. In such a situation, it is worth looking at a bet on the Colombian's goal for 1.72.
