Atalanta hosts Fiorentina in round 4 of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Sunday, September 22nd at Stadio Atleti Azzurri d'Italia (Bergamo)
Atalanta is very good in the attack - it scored 7 goals in 3 rounds of the championship. But it is rather mediocre in defense - 6 goals conceded. Besides it, the team lost its debut match in the Champions League to the not-so-strong opponent, Dinamo Zagreb. Not only that, it lost and conceded 4 goals. In the pre-season friendly games, the Goddess conceded from Getafe, Leicester, Norwich, and Swansea. But at the same time, it scored in each of the matches in response.
In the last round, Fiorentina managed to keep a clean sheet at home in the match against the champion, Juventus. But it probably was just a pleasant exception to the rules for the team as a whole and its defense in particular. Besides, after that match, Juve had to leave for Madrid for the Champions League match, and it simply did not give all its best in Florence. Fiorentina is as weak in defense as the upcoming opponent is. The Purples have already conceded 6 goals in 3 rounds. And they conceded in almost all pre-season matches. Even the club from Serie C, Real Vicenza, scored them. But Fiorentina is much more modest in the attack than Atalanta – it scored only four goals.

Atalanta has not scored only 2 times in its last 20 matches in the home arena. And Fiorentina in has kept a clean sheet only once in its last 13 away games. It becomes obvious that the goal of the Goddess is just a matter of time. However, taking into account the fact that the hosts are rather weak in the defense and are tired after leaving for Zagreb, we can count on a goal in the performance of Fiorentina. In the offseason, the Purples purchased a creative midfielder Ribery from Bayern. The veteran has not scored in the championship yet, but he carries out a substantial amount of work on the pitch and gives a lot of accurate passes. He will surely say his weighty word in the upcoming match. If he does not score, he can give someone an assist. And all together, it should lead to a result “both to score – yes”. The opponents played just like that in 5 of the last 6 head-to-head matches.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score - yes
