As Serie A enters its second week, a thrilling encounter awaits as Torino hosts Atalanta BC at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino on August 25, 2024. Both teams have had mixed starts to their campaigns, and this matchup promises to be a captivating contest filled with drama, tactical battles, and individual brilliance.
Match Preview
Torino's Resilience and Defensive Prowess Torino kicked off their Serie A season with a hard-fought 2-2 draw against AC Milan, where they were moments away from a famous victory. The Granata displayed their defensive solidity, a hallmark of their play last season, where they boasted the most clean sheets at home across Europe’s top five leagues. Under new head coach Paolo Vanoli, who has taken over from Ivan Juric, Torino aims to replicate their solid home form, which saw them lose only one of their last 14 home games.
Torino's defensive structure, led by the experienced Vanja Milinković-Savić, is complemented by their midfield, where Sasa Lukić and Karol Linetty pull the strings. Upfront, the familiar face of Duvan Zapata will be key. Zapata, who scored 69 goals in 153 appearances for Atalanta, will lead Torino’s attack against his former club, with either Antonio Sanabria or new signing Che Adams likely to partner him.
Atalanta's Attacking Flair Amid Transfer Turmoil Atalanta BC, on the other hand, began their campaign with an impressive 4-0 victory over Lecce, with new signings Mateo Retegui and Marco Brescianini shining on their debut. However, the Bergamo side has been dealing with significant transfer market uncertainties, as key players Teun Koopmeiners and Ademola Lookman are linked with moves away.
Despite these distractions, Gian Piero Gasperini’s side remains a potent attacking force, especially on the road. Atalanta has won their last four Serie A away matches and will be looking to make it five against Torino. However, the absence of several key players due to injury, including Giorgio Scalvini, Gianluca Scamacca, and Rafael Toloi, could affect their fluidity.
