Fiorentina vs Atalanta Predictions

• Both teams have scored in 14 of the last 18 meetings between the pair
• There have been exactly five goals scored in four of the last five rivalries
• Atalanta are unbeaten in 12 away league games, winning nine times

Title-chasing Atalanta looking to hit back

A 2-0 defeat at home to Inter in their final Serie A game before the international break saw Atalanta fall six points off the title pace and they are not certain to resume winning ways away at Fiorentina.

Gian Piero Gasperini’s side have excelled on their Serie A travels, winning ten and losing only two of their 15 away games, but Fiorentina are no pushovers on home turf.

La Viola, who sit eighth and within five points of the top four, have won four of their last five league games on their own patch and that includes impressive 3-0 victories over league leaders Inter and fifth-placed Juventus.

Goals set to flow in Firenze

So, with reasons to be in favour of either, goals may be the approach to take and high-scoring clashes has been a common theme in their recent rivalries.

Atalanta were 3-2 winners in the reverse fixture at home in September and that means there have been exactly five goals scored in four of the last five meetings between the pair.

Ten of Fiorentina’s last 14 league games have gone over 2.5 goals and, with Atalanta having an abundance of attacking talent with 16 goals scored in their last four road trips, this encounter may follow a similar pattern.

A free-scoring clash looks likely and correct-score punters should take a chance on a 3-2 Atalanta win, which has been the scoreline in their last two showdowns with La Viola.
