Torino has faced a notably easier schedule to start the year, with both of the bottom two clubs, Cremonese and Monza, making up Torino\u2019s only two victories to date this season.<\/p>\n Torino Maintain Defensive Presence<\/h3>\nTorino has opened up the new season doing what they do best, getting it done on the defensive end allowing just two goals all year along while having the league\u2019s sixth-best defensive xGA rating.<\/p>\n That follows on from last season where the Bulls allowed two or more goals in just two of their last 16 matches overall.<\/p>\n Atalanta Looks For Massive Rebound From Last Season<\/h3>\nIt was a disappointing campaign for \u2018La Dea\u2019 last year, with Atalanta winning just five of their final 21 games of the season to ultimately drop out of contention for a European place for the first time in four seasons.<\/p>\n Home form remains an issue for this team, with Atalanta failing to win any of their previous seven league games in Gewiss Stadium.<\/p>\n Atalanta vs Torino Prediction<\/h2>\nThis has been a fixture that historically at least has combined to be one of the most exciting in Serie A.<\/p>\n Both Torino and Atalanta have combined to score 37 goals over their last seven meetings, an average of 5.3 goals per game.<\/p>\n Atalanta has definitely regressed in terms of their former attacking threat, but remains vulnerable defensively. This has been an amplified issue at home where they continue to struggle. We can\u2019t pass up the opportunity of taking Torino +0.75 on the Asian handicap<\/strong> in this one to engineer yet another result on the road in Bergamo.<\/p>\n We expect the Bulls to cause the home side all sorts of problems in this one so take Torino +0.75 as your play for Thursday\u2019s matchup over in Serie A. Liverpool got its season back on track with a 9-0 destruction of Bournemouth over the weekend. Can the Reds put together another strong performance against Newcastle?
