2 years ago 341

Atalanta BC and Torino will back in action this week when they square off at Gewiss Stadium in the fourth round of the Italian Serie A. Match day schedules for September 1 at 21:45 EAT.

The hosts endured a disappointing second half to last season as they won only five of their last 21 top-flight matches, which ultimately cost them a place in European competition. However, they have since made a promising start to the new campaign and will be hoping to extend their unbeaten run on Thursday. Coming into this game, Atlanta United lost only two of their last six matches across all the competitions (WLLWDW).

Atalanta will want more of the same results after 0-1 Serie A victory to beat Hellas Verona in their most recent match. In that game, Atalanta had 51% possession, 15 shots with seven of them on target and a goal scored by Teun Koopmeiners (50′). Hellas Verona got 14 shots on with two of them on target.

Torino on the other end is one of seven Serie A teams level on points at the top of the table. The club has now extended their impressive away record in the top flight to seven matches, including four successive victories. Torino will be looking to extend their winning streak on the road in Serie A to five games for the first time since 1946 when they face Atalanta on Thursday.

Torino gets into this clash off the back of 1-2 Serie A victory over Cremonese in their most recent encounter. In that game, Torino had 47% possession, 14 shots with five of them on target and goals scored by Nikola Vlašić (17′) and Nemanja Radonjić (65′). Cremonese got 16 shots with six of them on target and a goal by Leonardo Sernicola (80′).
