Atalanta vs Torino prediction 26.05.2024

• Competition: Serie A
• Date: Sunday, 26th May, 2024
• Kickoff: 17:00 UTC +1 / 18:00 CEST
• Venue: Gewiss Stadium (Bergamo)

Atalanta became one of the best teams in Italy in recent years, constantly securing Europe via league finish. Still, this year is surely by far the best one in the club's history, considering they just won the Europa League title with a 3:0 win over Bayern Leverkusen. They secured the Champions League that way, and they will have no motive for the remaining two games in Serie A. Still, they have had a good season in the Serie A as well, as they are 5th with 66 points - two points away from third place, with a game fewer than most of the league. However, their motive in the remaining games is questionable, and because of it, the bookies massively raised the odds of them winning the upcoming game. Popular La Dea also impressed in the Cup, reaching the finals, but lost 1:0 against Juventus in a very close game.

Torino are playing its 12th consecutive season in Serie A, where they were mostly a mid-table finish. This year, they are on pace for another mid-table finish, but they could secure Europe even from 10th place. That is because Italian teams got another place in the CL, Atalanta's EL title, and Fiorentina's potential ECL title. Right now, Torino are 9th with 53 points, one away from 8th-placed Fiorentina and one away from 10th-placed Napoli. So, several factors will decide their potential European appearance next season. Still, the most important for them is to win the upcoming game.

Atalanta vs Torino pick: Torino to win

Atalanta had an awesome season. They just won the EL title and are in superb form, with eight wins in the last ten matches in all competitions. If we look strictly at the quality of the teams, Atalanta are undoubtedly a better team in every aspect. However, La Dea could rotate the squad and will surely play a pretty relaxed game, which could result in a loss here.

Torino won back-to-back games against Verona and AC Milan while scoring five goals. Additionally, they have only lost once in the last six matches. That loss was expected since it happened against Inter at Giuseppe Meazza when Torino received a red card at the start of the second half. Before the red card, we saw a close match (0:0) that could go either way. 

In the previous h2h game, Torino dominated and won 3:0. Even though we believe Atalanta are a better team, considering all the above, we will try with a win on Torino in this Serie A clash.
