Atalanta vs Fiorentina Preview
Atalanta
Despite starting the 2024/2025 Serie A season with a convincing victory over Lecce, Atalanta suffered two consecutive defeats. The first came in a dramatic last-minute loss to Torino, where Mario Pasalic missed a crucial penalty in injury time. This was followed by a heavy 4-0 defeat at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza against Inter.
Gian Piero Gasperini now has the task to break this unsuccessful streak. The winners of last year’s Europa League will also be playing in the Champions League this campaign. Maintaining balance and avoiding exhaustion will be pivotal for Atalanta.
Despite facing a strong Fiorentina side, Atalanta has a prime opportunity to secure their first home victory of the season. Italian striker Mateo Retegui, who has been in fine form, will be aiming to add to his Serie A tally and reach four goals
Fiorentina
Fiorentina survived a scare in the Conference League when they narrowly escaped defeat against Puskas Academy. In the second leg, the Violets were left with 9 men in extra time but somehow managed to win the match on penalties.
Fiorentina’s Serie A campaign has started with three draws. In the third-round fixture, the Violets found themselves trailing 0-2 against Monza, but a dramatic 96th-minute goal from Robin Gosens rescued a point for the hosts.
Newly appointed head coach Raffaele Palladino has experienced issues on both ends of the pitch, struggling to find balance in defence and offence. Recent signing Albert Guðmundsson is expected to return from an injury and should bolster their attacking options and provide much-needed firepower.
Bet hereAtalanta vs Fiorentina Prediction
- Pick: Atalanta Over 1.5 Goals
- Odds: 1.78 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Atalanta 2-2 Fiorentina
Following two heavy losses against Torino and Inter, Atalanta must find a way to bounce back immediately. They are playing against Fiorentina, with whom they have mixed H2H results. However, in the last three out of four matches, La Dea managed to score at least two goals.
We anticipate a similar outcome in the upcoming meeting. Fiorentina are winless so far, and they face an Atalanta side with a potent attacking lineup featuring the likes of Ademola Lookman, Ederson, and Mateo Retegui. Thwarting their attacks and keeping a clean sheet seems like an impossible task.
We expect a productive match, with Atalanta eventually winning. However, we advise picking over 1.5 goals for the hosts.
Atalanta vs Fiorentina Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Both Teams to Score
- Odds: 1.68 (22Bet)
In recent years, meetings between Atalanta and Fiorentina turned out to be entertaining and filled with goals. Four out of five previous matches ended with both teams scoring, a trend that suggests we could see another goal-filled contest.
In the new campaign, Fiorentina already conceded in two matches against Parma and Monza. Atalanta, on the other hand, are playing their first match at home and they will be motivated to attack from the first minutes.
Fiorentina will probably play from the defence and build their gameplay on counterattacks. They have fast wingers, such as Jonathan Ikone, who have the potential to create danger in Atalanta’s penalty area. Therefore, we predict both teams scoring, with Fiorentina likely to find the net at least once.
