Torino and Atalanta meet this Monday in the 14th round of the Italian league, and based on what they have shown so far in the competition, they need greater regularity within the championship.
Torino appears in 12th place with 16 points and the team currently has 5 points less than Bologna, which occupies sixth place, closing the qualifying group for next season’s European leagues.
The team can still fight for this position, but it needs to maintain a certain regularity, which has not yet appeared this season.
So far there are 4 wins, 4 draws and 5 defeats, and their main difficulty this season is their offensive capacity.
The team has only scored 10 goals, placing themselves as one of the worst attacks in the league and will certainly have difficulties against the Bergamo team this Monday.
In the last matches, Torino drew one-on-one away from home against Monza, and then also as a visitor they were beaten 2-0 by Bologna.
Although at home they only lost one match, they are a team that has a lot of difficulty being dominant and assuming this role of being purposeful.
There were 2 wins, 3 draws and one defeat, with only 4 goals scored and 5 conceded, generally featuring pragmatic matches with economic scores.
Their opponent this Monday will be the Atalanta team, which aims to join the top 6 group in the Italian league.
In fact, it was a place that seemed to be very accessible for this team, but it fell down the table after a negative sequence.
Atalanta occupies seventh place with 20 points, one less than Bologna and Roma, but a positive result in this round could see the team rise up the leaderboard.
Regularity has not been their strong suit either, as so far they have won 6 and lost 5, as well as 2 draws, with 21 goals scored and 13 conceded.
In the last matches, they lost 2-1 at home to Inter and by the same score they were also beaten at home by Napoli, in addition to a 1-1 draw away from home against Udinese.
Due to the offensive incapacity of the Torino team, I believe that it is Atalanta who should take control of this match and play a slightly more purposeful game.
But they are different teams, as Torino has a weak offensive game and a very low goal average, and Atalanta manages to be more productive in attack.
Therefore, I believe that it is a trend that the visiting team is the one who has the greatest actions in this match and is closest to victory.
Conclusion:
Due to the high odds on both sides, we will stick with the handicap line for the Atalanta team, but a very interesting alternative is also the line of fewer goals, given the standard that Torino has, especially when playing at home.
