Atalanta vs Fiorentina Prediction & Match Preview

Steffen Schmidt - September 29, 2022

Atalanta vs Fiorentina
Italian Serie A
Date: 2 October 2022, Sunday
Kick-off at 17:00 UK / 18:00 CET
Venue: Gewiss Stadium (Bergamo).

Atalanta quickly rebounded from the shocking 1-1 draw to Monza by beating Roma 0-1 on the road in the previous round.

They thus continued the outstanding start to the 2022/23 Serie A campaign. La Dea now have five wins and two draws in the opening seven rounds.

They currently share the very top of the league standings with Napoli and they will be hoping to back up the win over the Romans with the home success against Fiorentina on Sunday afternoon.

The rock-solid defense has been the main catalyst to Atalanta’s recent successes. It is very interesting how Gianpiero Gasperini has changed his philosophy to accommodate the changes in his roster and the departures of the players who were essential in his starting lineups in the previous seasons.

Atalanta now boast the best defensive record in the whole league with only three goals conceded in the inaugural seven games.

We rate their chances of another success highly here against Fiorentina who have by no means been impressive so far in the season.

None of their players has scored more than one goal so far in the campaign. Also, I Viola looked dreadful on travels so far.

Fiorentina lost three and drew two of five away matches in all competitions this term. The negative run includes the tough 3-0 defeat at Istanbul Basaksehir in the UEFA Europa Conference League.

Atalanta vs Fiorentina Head-to-head

• Fiorentina will enter this tie on the back of three successive wins over Atalanta.

Atalanta vs Fiorentina Prediction

Atalanta have been very tough to break down so far in the season, while Fiorentina have been struggling for goals in general since the beginning of the campaign, especially on travels.

The home win is the way to go here at the 1.90 odds, while we also like Atalanta to keep a clean sheet at the odds of 2.62.
