We have two matches to look forward to in the Italian Serie A on the 1st of September, one of which is the meeting between Atalanta and Torino.
The match will take place at the Gewiss Stadium and the hosts begin the week in 4th place on 7 points while the visitors are just one place behind on the same number of points.
Atalanta come into the match on the back of a 1-0 win at Verona on the weekend. The only goal of the game was scored in the 50th minute and Atalanta prevented Verona from scoring for the remainder of the match to take maximum points.
That result means Atalanta are undefeated in Serie A this season. They started with an away fixture at Sampdoria and came away with a 2-0 win.
Having taken the lead in the 26th minute, Atalanta secured the points with a second goal at the end of the game. The second Serie A match of the season was at home against the defending champions, AC Milan, and Atalanta picked up a point thanks to a 1-1 draw.
Trends show Atalanta have been struggling to win home league games for some time and they have recorded just 1 win from their 12 most recent home Serie A fixtures.
Atalanta have been scoring plenty of goals but have struggled defensively in-front of their own fans, with both teams scoring in 5 of their last 6 home league matches.
Torino have enjoyed a decent start to the season and they make the trip to the Gewiss Stadium having beat Cremonese 2-1 away on the weekend.
Torino opened the scoring in the 17th minute and added a second goal 20 minutes into the second half. Cremonese got a goal back with time remaining on the clock but could not find the equaliser.
That result means Torino are undefeated in Serie A this season. They started with a 2-1 win at newly promoted Monza and then picked up a point in a 0-0 draw at home against Lazio.
Trends show Torino have been difficult to beat on the road in Serie A and they have not lost any of their last 7 away matches in the league. Torino have won their last 4 away Serie A matches but have won just 2 of their last 12 games against Atalanta.
Looking ahead to the team news and Atalanta will be without the injured trio of Berat Djimsiti, Marco Carnesecchi, and Davide Zappacosta.
Torino travel without Alexey Miranchuk and David Zima who are both on the treatment table.
This should be an exciting game between two undefeated teams. Atalanta do not have a great recent home record in terms of wins, while Torino have been enjoying themselves on the road. Therefore, we expect this one to end level, with both teams scoring.
