Fiorentina vs Atalanta prediction

THE FORECAST

Atalanta hold a clear points advantage (10 vs 4) and superior attacking output (1.8 gf vs 1.1), while Fiorentina sit in 18th place under a new manager Vanoli following dismissal of Grosso, compounded by six injury absentees including striker Kean. Although Atalanta also carry a heavy injury list with 13 players out — losing key defenders Hien, Scalvini, Kossounou and Kolasinac — their overall quality and form still edge a struggling Fiorentina side that has not kept a single clean sheet all season. Both teams have equal rest (4 days) so no rotation edge applies, and mild conditions (8-21°C, dry) suit both sides equally, leaving Atalanta as the clear favourite despite their defensive vulnerabilities.
