Atalanta host FC Torino in Serie A on Wednesday. While the visitors no longer have anything to play for, the home team is fighting for European cups, specifically the Europa League, or at worst the European Conference League. What to expect from the match?
Atalanta have been struggling since March, losing four of their last six games and dropping out of the Europa League. The fight for fourth place is suddenly a fight for the TOP 6, which the team from Bergamo is currently two points behind.
Torino are comfortably in the middle of the table, having earned eight of a possible twelve points in the recent past. From the eleventh position they can no longer think about the cups, but at the same time they do not have to worry about being rescued.
The home team is led by the agile offensive Colombian Luis Muriel, author of eleven goals and seven assists. Thirty-one-year-old compatriot Duvan Zapata is even better, scoring thirteen times and assisting on seven goals.
Josip Brekal, on loan from Wolfsburg, is doing well in Turin, scoring six goals and assisting once. The Serbian midfielder Sasa Lukic netted three times and had four assists.
Atalanta has been plagued by the work of its defensive line, getting more than one goal in four of its last six games.
Turin, on the other hand, has been defensively excellent since March, scoring only four times in the last seven rounds.
Given the quality of Atalanta’s home record, I think they will win the game and score five goals at most.
