Atalanta - Torino predictions

Most fans are expecting nothing short of a decisive victory for Atalanta. Though an upset is not impossible, it’s extremely unlikely that this match will end in anything that’s not a home win.

From the present standpoint, the situation is clear as day. Considering the strength of Atalanta and the 7.96 odds given to Torino to win, it is easy to conclude that a victory for the visiting team would be a surprising upset.

The hosts’ previous Serie A bout at Como earned them 3 points, but the fight was much harder than the 4.26 betting odds predicted. After falling behind in the first half despite their status as favourites, they only managed to turn things around in the late game.

Torino performed admirably in their previous Serie A match – though their success was not exactly a surprise. They were tagged as favourites – though not by a large margin – and played on home turf, so the odds were stacked against their opponents Cagliari.

The hosts’ fans are somewhat disappointed at them, given the lacklustre defensive performances they’ve seen recently. Atalanta conceded more than 5 times over the previous 3 games played at Stadio Atleti Azzurri d'Italia.

Torino’s recent record shows that most games end with a relatively small number of goals at the final tally. For instance, all 5 of their previous home games confirmed the Under 2.5 Goals market.

Atalanta are currently 7 points behind the table leaders. There’s still plenty of time, however, and they seem poised to take another three points this Saturday. The Champions League dream seems like a reality at this point but with 7 points behind the leaders, a league title is still within their grasp.

Though a home win is priced at 1.43, the hosts lost their most recent game against Torino. The two teams played earlier in the season, though Atalanta were the visitors and the goal difference was quite narrow.

Saturday's match will see both teams at their strongest, with no players missing due to injury or suspension.

A confirmed Under 2.5 Goals market seems like a foregone conclusion for this particular match. The only thing to do now is to decide whether the relatively short 1.95 odds are worth your time. We would say they are because this bet manages to have real betting value as well.
