Torino and Atalanta are set to begin their 2021-22 Serie A campaign this week as they face off at Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino on 21st August 2021 at 21:45. Torino narrowly escaped relegation from Serie A last season while Atalanta impressively finished in third place.
Meanwhile, Torino prepare for this match coming off 0-0 Coppa Italia stalemate vs Cremonese. In that game, Torino had 61% possession and 28 shots with six on target. On the other side, Cremonese had nine shots with none on target. However, Torino ran out winners after a 4-1 penalty shootout.
In the previous Serie A competition, Atalanta lost 0-2 to AC Milan in their last game and will be hoping for better results in this game. In that game, they managed 70% possession, 13 shots with one on target. AC Milan on the other end had six shots with two on target and goals from Franck Kessié (43′, 93′).
Atalanta were one of the favorite teams in Serie A last season however they were not lucky enough to take home the silverware. We predict a straight win for Atalanta with both sides finding the net in this game.
