Fiorentina vs Atalanta Predictions & Live Stream – Visitors Underestimated in Serie A

Atalanta are predicted to avoid defeat in their Serie A fixture against Fiorentina, as Fiorentina have only managed one victory in their last eight league matches, that win coming against struggling Venezia. Atalanta’s recent head-to-head record is also favourable, with the team collecting four points from two encounters with Fiorentina last season. Given Fiorentina’s poor form and Atalanta’s solid record in this fixture, Atalanta are not expected to lose on Thursday.

Fiorentina are undeservedly tagged favorites here in my opinion since they secured just one win in eight league games. Atalanta's form is far from ideal but I like their chances of claiming at least one point on Thursday. 

Key Stats  


  • Fiorentina are winless in 8 of their last 9 matches (Serie A). 
  • Fiorentina have seen BTTS in their last 6 matches (Serie A). 
  • Atalanta are unbeaten in 3 of their last 4 matches against Fiorentina. 
  • Atalanta are unbeaten in 2 of their last 3 matches (Serie A). 
  • Atalanta have seen BTTS in 4 of their last 5 matches. 

97-Year-Old Rivalry 


These teams locked horns 147 times so far and Fiorentina have a 65-37 advantage in terms of victories. 

Fiorentina in Serious Trouble 


Fiorentina had a disastrous start to the new Serie A campaign, quickly dismissing Fabio Grosso from the head manager position and appointing Paolo Vanoli, but things haven't improved since.   

Viola collected all of their points just before the international break, beating Venezia 4-2 on the road, followed by a 1-1 draw against Napoli at home, while starting October with defeats to Genoa 2-1 and Como 3-1. 

Last weekend, Fiorentina locked horns with Inter Milan at Giuseppe Meazza, took the lead in the 65th minute and held on until stoppage time, when they conceded twice to lose the game in shocking fashion (2-1). 

La Dea Struggling Defensively 


Maurizio Sarri is under massive pressure after Atalanta won just four points in their last five league encounters, dropping down to 11th place. 

La Dea played three league games so far this month, beating struggling Venezia 3-1 at home, then lost to AC Milan 3-2 at San Siro, while last weekend’s clash against Frosinone ended in a 4-4 draw in Bergamo. 

Their European results have also been mixed, registering a 3-1 home win against Pafos in the Conference League, while losing to Ajax 2-0 in Amsterdam last week. 

Team News & Predicted Lineups 


Fiorentina (4-3-3) David De Gea; Alex Jimenez, Radu Dragusin, Mattia Viti, Victor Valdepenas; Cher Ndour, Nicolo Fagioli, Ousmane Oulai; Franco Mastantuono, Alieu Njie; Mateo Pellegrino

Luca Ranieri works toward recovery from a foot injury while Marin Pongracic remains a major doubt after being withdrawn early with a physical problem. Fabiano Parisi is ruled out due to an ongoing physical issue.

Atalanta (4-2-3-1) Marco Carnesecchi; Davide Zappacosta, Thomas Kristensen, Giorgio Scalvini, Lorenzo Bernasconi; Gianluca Gaetano, Ederson; Eljif Elmas, Charles De Ketelaere, Nicola Zalewski; Nikola Krstovic

The visitors are missing Raoul Bellanova due to a thigh injury alongside Sead Kolasinac, Isak Hien, and Odilon Kossounou.

Verdict

Fiorentina's only victory in eight Serie A rounds was against strugglers Venezia, so I don't think they should be labelled as favorites. Atalanta grabbed four points in two H2H against Viola last season and I don't see them losing on Thursday.
