Monday night action in Serie A will see two sides looking to get back on track. Both Torino and Atalanta suffered defeats in their previous matches in the Italian top-flight, and a win for either will help their cause this week.
Serie A Preview
Atalanta’s European hopes have been dented in recent weeks, as the Italian side have suffered two defeats in their previous three matches. That run of form has seen Atalanta drop to seventh in the standings, but a return to winning ways on Monday could see them close to within a point of the Champions League spots in the Serie A standings.
The Italian side were slightly unfortunate not to have picked up a point in their previous match, as they were ultimately edged out by Napoli in front of their home fans. Ademola Lookman had pulled Atalanta level in that fixture, before the reigning champions netted the winner with just ten minutes remaining. However, Atalanta will be confident of getting back to winning ways this week.

Torino will also be in need of a positive result this week, as they have gone two league matches without a win in Serie A. That has seen them drop into the bottom half of the standings. However, they have still won two of their previous five, which is as many wins as they had recorded in their opening eight matches at the start of the season.
But, they come into this match after suffering a fifth defeat of the season in their most recent fixture. That loss was suffered on the road against Bologna, as they fell to a 2-0 loss. Torino dominated the possession in that fixture, but they were wasteful in the final third, which was ultimately costly to their chances of winning maximum points.
Torino vs Atalanta Head to Head
Atalanta has excelled in this fixture in recent seasons, as they are unbeaten in seven league matches against their rivals. Over that period, they have picked up five victories, with two matches ending in draws. Atalanta landed a 2-1 success in this exact fixture last season.
Torino vs Atalanta Prediction
Atalanta’s fine record against Torino could be the key trend to consider this week. The Italian side will be in need of a return to winning ways after a disappointing defeat last weekend, and we could see them landing success on the road by a one-goal margin against Torino.
