Fiorentina hosts Atalanta in the Coppa Italia 1/8 finals. The match will be played on Wednesday, January 15th at Stadio Artemio Franchi (Florence)
I think few will argue that Atalanta is showing the best football in Serie A now. The Goddess is impressive with both the game and the results. And most importantly, there are no personnel problems in Atalanta right now – all performers have recovered and are ready to play. The coach will surely field the strongest squad against Fiorentina. The Goddess’s schedule is the easiest of all the top clubs in Italy. It played against Inter on January 11, the cup game against Fiorentina will be held on 15th, and the next home game with SPAL in the championship will be held on only 20th. There is no big need to rotate, and all the best should appear on the pitch. Moreover, Atalanta is not spoiled by trophies and takes the cup as seriously as possible. Last season, the Black and Blues reached the final, where they lost to Lazio. This is a great opportunity to correct that annoying mistake.

Fiorentina is not doing very well this season. Only in the last round, the Violets managed to break the long winless streak that lasted from October. But they did it with great difficulty, having beaten a hopeless outsider SPAL at home, and the only goal was scored at the end of the game. On top of everything else, Fiorentina has a very difficult calendar. On January 12, the Violets played with SPAL, tomorrow they will play against Atalanta, and a hard away game against Napoli in the championship will take place on January 18. Fiorentina has only two days of rest between matches. For comparison, Atalanta has three and four days of rest before and after the cup match.
In such a situation, the head coach of Fiorentina can arrange a rotation, preferring the championship, where the situation is rather complicated. In any case, Fiorentina will be more tired than Atalanta in the cup match. Make a long story short, I do not see any special chances for such bad Fiorentina against magnificent Atalanta.
Prediction for the match: Atalanta to win
