Torino v Atalanta, Serie A betting Preview

Serie A fans have some Monday night action to look forward to and we take a look at the game between Torino and Atalanta from a betting angle.

TORINO

Torino currently sit 12^th on the log with 4 wins in their 13 matches.  They haven’t won in their last 2 games though and they went down 2-0 away to Bologna last time out and drew  1-1 at Monza before that.  Their last home game was a 2-1 home win against Sassuolo though and overall at home this season they have won 2 and drawn 3 of their 6 matches.

Torino home games have been amongst the lowest scoring in the Division, averaging just 1.5 goals each with only 2 of the 6 matches delivering profits for over 2.5 goal backers.

ATALANTA

Atalanta are currently sitting 8^th on the log, but with only 1 point from the last 9 they have played for.  They lost 2-1 away to Napoli last time out and their last away game was a 1-1 draw at Udinese.  Overall on the road this season Atalanta have won 3 and drawn 1 of their 7 matches and were the League table based on only away form they would be sitting in 5^th place.

Atlanta’s away games have averaged 3 goals each and 4 of the 7 matches have reached the 3 goal mark.

HEAD-TO-HEAD

Atalanta did the double over Torino last season winning this fixture 2-1 and winning 3-1 at home.

Torino 2/1

VERDICT

I am battling to pick a winner in this game and certainly wouldn’t rule out the draw at 9/4, but the bet that jumps off the page for me is over 2.5 goals at 12/10.  Although Torino have only had 2 home matches to deliver this bet so far this season, it has come in their last 2 home matches and 2 of the last 3 Atalanta away games would also have delivered a profit.

It is the head-to-head form that sways me though and having plenty of goals in recent meetings between the sides and this bet would have arrived in the last 8 Serie A meetings.

Suggested Bet:  Over 2.5 goals at 12/10
