Torino-Atalanta

Match Preview

High-flying Torino will try win against Atalanta and keep up the pace for a place in Europe next. Granata have recorded five wins in their last eight games to occupy seventh place in the league.. A winless run between last September and November had threatened to derail Toro’s campaign, but it looks like they are back on track. Alessio Cerci and Ciro Immobile are playing brilliantly and coach Giampiero Ventura knows, that he can count on them. Immobile can establish himself in Cesare Prandelli’s mind before the World Cup if he continue scoring goals.

Atalanta remain in a uncertainty. Stefano Colantuono side striked back from harsh back-to-back defeats to Juventus and Milan with wins against Catania and Cagliari. They last showcased incredible stomach and grit to stick out intense Sardinian pressure and win 1-0. “We suffered for these three points. In the first half Cagliari deserved to score, but football rewards those who get the ball in the net,” noted Colantuono. He knows that team need stability and more goals.
