Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Torino, 12th position with 16 points and a negative goal difference of -16
Atalanta, 8th position with 20 points and a positive goal difference of +8
Torino won the Serie A Week 14 game on Monday 4 December 2023 at the Olimpico di Torino Stadium in Turin, Italy. Torino move up in the standings, having overtaken Frosinone and Monza, now the Granata have 19 points in 10th position, one less than Atalanta who are stuck on 20 like Lazio. Good way to celebrate the 117th birthday for Torino.
An unrecognizable Atalanta dominated at the Olimpico, Zapata, the former player of the match, unlocked the match, then a goal scored from a penalty by Sanabria sealed the 2-0. Many opportunities for the Granata, few for Gasperini’s team, more in the first half with 2 shots on goal, then at the end of the match with two great saves from Milikovic-Savic. The Colombian striker was very inspired in injury time: the third goal was always scored by Zapata.
Bad news for Atalanta losing the game, despite their European qualification in the Round of 16. The same cannot be said about the championship. Atalanta have only one point in three games, due to defeats against Napoli and Inter and the draw against Udinese. After the draw against Monza and the latest defeat against Bologna, it is necessary to return to winning in the league and Torino will host Gian Piero Gasperini’s Atalanta.
Torino players Duván Zapata and Antonio Sanabria scored to give Torino the lead.
The moment for the ex-Atalanta player to open the score in the 22nd minute. Duván Zapata defeated Atalanta goalkeeper with a left footed shot to the center. The assist is by Nikola Vlasic.

✅ Stats before the game: Torino have lost five of their last seven games against Atalanta in Serie A, conceding an average of 3.6 goals per match (2D); in the previous 12 matches against the Nerazzurri, the Granata had lost only twice (6W, 4N). Atalanta have won each of their last four Serie A away games against Torino: they have not managed to achieve consecutive away wins against a single opponent in their history in the competition.

Atalanta have not found success in any of their last three championship matches (1N, 2L), after having won four of the previous six (1N, 1P); the last time the Bergamo team played multiple games in a row in Serie A without winning was between February and March 2023, with Udinese and Napoli within the series. Torino have obtained only eight points in the last eight Serie A matchdays, more than only Salernitana (five), Lecce (four) and Verona (two) in the same period; in this part of eight matches the granata did not find the net on five occasions, as many times as in the previous 25 championship matches.
