Having entered the season with two consecutive failures in the Serie A, Atalanta come up to the clash in Florence with four-game unbeaten series covering three victories and single draw. In the recent matchday Gian Piero Gasperini’s side thrashed Crotone 5:1 in face of its fans and now Atalanta sit on the ninth position in the standings with seven points taken and 9-7 goal difference. Performance on the road is the weak point of Atalanta in this season as the team earned 1:3 defeat from Napoli and 1:1 draw against Chievo.
Fiorentina have not been broken by Atalanta since the 29th of April 2012 across 11 clashes, having gained nine wins and two draws. Those draws were earned last season and were finished with 0:0 scoreline. Taking into account head-to-heads statistics as well as Atalanta’s failures on the road in this season, I believe that the hosts have great chances to pick up points.
Prediction for the match: Fiorentina to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
