Fiorentina vs Atalanta Preview
Fiorentina are currently in ninth place in the Serie A standings and have not been at their best so far this season. La Viola were held to a 1-1 draw by Spezia in their previous league game and will need to take it up a notch this weekend.
Atalanta, on the other hand, are in sixth place in the league table at the moment and have been inconsistent this season. The away side slumped to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Bologna last week and will need to bounce back in this fixture.
Fiorentina vs Atalanta Prediction
Atalanta have not been at their best and will need to be at their best to work their way back into the top four. The likes of Duvan Zapata and Mario Pasalic have a point to prove and will need to step up this weekend.
Fiorentina can pack a punch on their day and have a few issues to address ahead of this match. Both teams are evenly matched at the moment and could play out a draw in this fixture.
Prediction: Fiorentina 1-1 Atalanta

Fiorentina vs Atalanta Team Stats
Given their three-goal lead over Lech Poznan in the Europa Conference League, Italiano may be prepared to name a stronger side than initially anticipated.
Nicolas Gonzalez, depending on whether he recovers from a knock, and Josip Brekalo may feature on the flanks, as may Nikola Milenkovic who came through 90 minutes in Poland.
However, the likes of Sofyan Amrabat and Luka Jovic may be kept in reserve, Italiano still wanting to keep a balance with Thursday in mind.
Jeremie Boga is on standby to deputpise for Mario Pasalic after the Croatia international lasted just 24 minutes versus Bologna.
Merih Demiral may also come back into the defence, but Gasperini is unlikely to overly tinker with his side unless Teun Koopmeiners is in a position to return from injury.
