Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Atalanta will look to make a flying start to the season when they take on Torino at Stadio Olimpico di Torino. The Orobici suffered a 3-1 loss to Juventus in their last warm-up game, but the bookies still see them as hot favourites to win Saturday’s clash. Considering that the club chiefs did well to keep hold of key players in the summer transfer window, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the visiting team.
New goalkeeper Juan Agustin Musso is likely to make his Serie A debut with Atalanta against Torino. All Toloi, De Roon, and Freuler are banned for the match, while Hateboer and Malinovskyi are sidelined with injuries. Il Toro, on the other hand, failed to impress in their Coppa Italia opener against Cremonese as they defeated the Serie B side on penalties. Both Ansaldi and Belotti are rated doubtful for the Atalanta game, and, taking everything into account, home win should not be considered.
Highlighted Player (Andrea Belotti):
Andrea Belotti began his youth career at Grumellese at the age of 10 and after spending three years at the club, he joined Albinolefe in 2006. As expected, he made his senior debut for the club on 10 March, 2012 and it has to be noted that the Italian striker scored 14 goals in 37 league appearances for the Seriani. Belotti, who was born on 20 December, 1993, joined Palermo on loan in 2013 and in July, 2014 the Sicilian outfit turned his loan move to a co-ownership.
The Italian attacker scored 16 goals for Palermo in 62 league appearances for the club and on 18 August, 2015 he signed a deal with Torino for a fee of €7.5 million.
Three months later he scored first goal in the Italian top flight for Torino and he helped the team record a 2-0 win over Bologna. Andrea Belotti has 18 caps for Italy U21 and he scored nine goals for the team.
