Fiorentina take on the visitors Atalanta in the first leg of Coppa Italia semifinals. The match will be played on Wednesday, April 3rd at Stadio Artemio Francchi (Florence).
Fiorentina have been playing under the guidance of Italiano since 2021. To start with, as if warming up, he lifted his wards to 7th place – this despite the fact that in January they had to let go, albeit for good money, the prolific Dusan Vlahovic. Having the opportunity to thus go to the Conference League, the team reached the final there (and at the same time achieved the same in the cup). Both decisive matches were eventually lost, but to the credit of the viola squad, they are fighting for the right to make a new attempt (while again remaining among the contenders to finish in the top third of the Serie A table). In the European arena, they have reached the quarter-finals, where they will face Viktoria (Plzen). Well, they also advanced in the cup by beating a strong Bologna on penalties.

Atalanta still haven't broken into the top 4. The Bergamo team under the current coach, Gasperini, suddenly showed themselves, breaking into the leading quartet and consolidating their position there. But having already become a regular in the Champions League playoffs, Goddess failed the season before last, failing to qualify for European competitions at all. Yes, they managed to improve later on, but in the end, in 2023, they ended up in the Europa League. There, having emerged from the group, and having again defeated Lisbon's Sporting in the round of 16, the Italians are preparing for a very interesting confrontation against Liverpool of Jurgen Klopp. In Serie A, they manage to hold their own at about the level of the previous season, although with hopes of rising back into the top quartet. And they want to achieve success in the cup as well. There were several finals under Gian Piero, but they all ended in defeats. They have now knocked out Milan, albeit in an away match. They will play away again, but the opponent looks nominally easier this time.
Atalanta have won only 1 match out of the last 6. During this same period, The Violas have secured 4 victories, including in September, when they engaged in a spectacular shootout here, winning 3-2. The Purple Ones are considered the favorites of this match as well. But still, the option of total over 2.5 goals seems plausible.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
