Middling club Torino FC (8-7-6, 30 points) is scheduled to square off with contending team Atalanta BC (12-7-2, 38 points) at their home field of Olimpico di Torino on Sunday, Jan. 29 as the 2016-2017 Serie A season continues.
Start Time and Streaming Info
The game starts at 6:30 a.m. ET. It can be viewed live online thru FuboTV.
Torino has been reeling at the moment with three straight winless performances. The team has only won once in their last six outings to drop to the ninth place in the overall standings, nine points below the final Europa League qualifying berth held by fifth-running team Inter Milan.
Il Toro is coming off a disappointing 0-2 upset loss to fellow middling squad Bologna on the road at the Renato Dall'Ara Stadium last Sunday, as per ESPN.
It was the second shutout performance in three games for head coach Siniša Mihajlović's side as his team failed to score a goal throughout the contest.
On the other hand, Bologna netted two, courtesy of a brace by Swiss midfielder Blerim Dzemaili in the 43rd and 83rd minutes of the match.
Meanwhile, Atalanta is currently in the sixth spot of the league table with three wins in their last four matches. The team is only one point behind Inter Milan and six points below the final Champions League qualifying spot for next season presently occupied by third-place squad Napoli.
La Dea pulled off a 1-0 nipping of lowly squad Sampdoria at their home ground of Atleti Azzurri d'Italia also last Sunday, via Sofa Score.
After a goalless first half of action, Argentine forward Alejandro Gomez managed to break the deadlock 10 minutes after the restart with a successful penalty kick off a foul by Sampdoria midfielder Lucas Torreira on Atalanta striker Andrea Petagna.
It was a tough bounce-back win for head coach Gian Piero Gasperini's men following their frustrating 0-1 loss to Lazio during their previous game.
