Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Stadio Olimpico di Torino will host Sunday’s Serie A game between Torino and Atalanta, the two teams who produced fine displays against Milan (2-2) and Lecce (4-0) respectively in their season openers. Il Toro are tough to beat at home, but they will have a big fish to fry against the Orobici. Summer signing Che Adams is pushing for his full Serie A debut, while all Nikola Vlasic, Perr Schuurs, and Gvidas Gineitis remain on the sidelines with injuries.
Atalanta, on the other hand, are determined to retain top position in the standings. The Orobici crushed the Giallorossi in their opener, but beating Torino on the road is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. The likes of Teun Koopmeiners, Ademola Lookman, Sead Kolasinac, Rafael Tolois, Gianluca Scamacca, and Giorgio Scalvini are out of contention with injuries for the away team.
