Fiorentina

LWLDWL

Fiorentina won’t want a repeat of their last result here after a 4-0 Serie A losing effort in their last game against Inter Milan.

In that game, Fiorentina managed 60% possession and 6 shots at goal with 2 on target. Inter Milan got 21 shots on goal with 11 of them on target. Marcus Thuram (23'), Lautaro Martínez (53', 73') and Hakan Çalhanoğlu (58') scored for Inter Milan.

It’s been seldom in recent times where Fiorentina have shown defensive steel. The reality is that Fiorentina have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, letting in 10 goals in the process. That trend won’t necessarily be sustained here, however.

A look at their previous results shows us that Fiorentina:

• are winless against Atalanta in their last 2 league games.
• have not been beaten in their last 9 home league matches. A run that they'll hope to extend here.

ℹ️ Team News: Fiorentina

Yerry Mina (Muscle Injury), Niccolò Pierozzi (Abdominal muscles injury), Jonathan Ikoné (Hip Injury) and Gaetano Castrovilli (Knee Surgery) will not be taking part for Fiorentina manager Vincenzo Italiano. Maxime López cannot play in this game through suspension.

It’s our opinion that La Viola could go for a 4-2-3-1 formation for this game, beginning the first half with Pietro Terracciano, Dodo, L. Martinez Quarta, Nikola Milenkovic, Fabiano Parisi, Rolando Mandragora, Alfred Duncan, Nicolas Gonzalez, Giacomo Bonaventura, Josip Brekalo and M'Bala Nzola.

🗞️ Team News: Atalanta

Thanks to a mainly healthy squad, there’s just the one fitness problem for the Atalanta manager Gian Gasperini to be concerned with. El Bilal Touré (Hamstring Injury) won’t be in action.

We believe La Dea will likely begin the game with a 3-4-1-2 lineup using Marco Carnesecchi, Rafael Toloi, Giorgio Scalvini, Sead Kolasinac, Davide Zappacosta, Matteo Ruggeri, Marten de Roon, Ederson, Teun Koopmeiners, Charles De Ketelaere and Ademola Lookman.

🔮 Prediction

In our opinion, Atalanta and Fiorentina are probably both going to find scoring goals difficult here.

Let’s see how it plays out, but a draw with few scoring chances is looking likely to us. We’re therefore predicting a tight encounter, finishing with a 0-0 draw at the end of this one.
