Team news and Torino are without injured forward Pietro Pellegri. They also have doubts over the fitness of Ola Aina, Ronaldo Vieira, and David Zima.
Atalanta are without the injured quartet of Duván Zapata, Hans Hateboer, Matteo Ruggeri, and Ademola Lookman. Lukas Vorlicky has a muscle problem but could return for the game.
Atalanta’s win over Roma means they are in contention for the top four but must win this game to ensure they stay in with a shout. Torino are safe in mid-table and will not be easy to beat but we expect Atalanta to win this match, with both teams scoring.
