Preview
Torino begin their Serie A campaign on Sunday when they face Atalanta at home. The hosts were poor last season and just about managed to stay alive in the Serie A as they finished 17th in the table, four points off the drop zone.
Ivan Juric took over as the new coach in the summer and will look to rebuild the side and help them compete this season. He left his position vacant from Hellas Verona.
Under Juric, Torino would need to pull up their socks if they want to avoid a repeat of last season.
On the other hand, Atalanta were outstanding as a unit and finished 3rd in the table last season, a point behind Milan and were the top scorers of the league as well.
They will be adamant to continue their excellent form and compete for the title as Atalanta pose a strong and potent squad, capable of creating problems for opposition.
Atalanta have not been at their best in pre-season but will look to put that away as they begin their journey once again in pursuit of glory.

Atalanta possible 11:
Musso, Palomino, Demiral, Djimsiti, Gosens, Pessina, Pasalic, Mรฆhle, Ilicic, Muriel and Malinovsky
Prediction: Torino 0-3 Atalanta
Atalanta will be too strong for Torino and should win their opening match comfortably.
Their quality play and in-form strikers could create havoc for Torino if they concede early.
Torino will need time under the new boss and a win against a quality Atalanta side looks far-fetched.
Players to watch out for: Linetty, Sanabria, Ilicic and Muriel.
