As an established club in Italy, Torino have been performing inconsistently in
recent years, often lingering in the middle of the league table. In the
previous round of the league, Torino suffered a 0-2 defeat against Bologna away
from home, putting an end to their four-match unbeaten streak. However, Torino
have
achieved two wins, two draws, and one loss in their last five games, showing a
decent overall performance. Additionally, Torino are quite adept at securing points at
home, with two wins, three draws, and one loss in six home matches so far in the
league. Their only defeat at home came against Inter Milan, so their home form
should not be underestimated.
In the midweek Europa League group stage,
Atalanta drew 1-1 against Sporting Lisbon at home, securing a top-two position
in the group. However, their recent form has shown a noticeable decline as they
have gone winless in their last three matches across all competitions. In their
last five games, Atalanta have only managed one win, two draws, and two losses. The consecutive midweek
fixtures have put a significant physical strain on Atalanta’s players, making
it challenging for them to maintain a consistently high level of performance.
Although Atalanta hold an overall advantage
over Torino in terms of strength, their demanding schedule has clearly weakened
their fighting ability, and they are at a disadvantage physically. Considering
Torino’s strong home performances, they have the potential to defend their home
ground and repel Atalanta, benefiting from the rest advantage.
