Prediction
The match to have over 2.5 goals and a winner
Odds are subject to change.
The last 10 meetings between Fiorentina and Atalanta have produced four wins for each side and two draws. Their most recent Serie A encounter ended 1-1 in May 2026, while Atalanta won 2-0 at home in November 2025.
Fiorentina have traditionally been difficult to beat at the Stadio Artemio Franchi, where Atalanta have won just twice in their last 25 top-flight visits. However, the hosts’ current home form is a concern, with no league wins at the ground this season.

Fiorentina are in a difficult situation and need points urgently. In the following sections, we will take a closer look at their current form, recent results, and tactical approach for this match against Atalanta. We will also preview the expected Fiorentina vs. Atalanta line-ups for the upcoming game.
Fiorentina have made a poor start to the Serie A season, collecting just four points from eight matches and sitting in the relegation zone. They have won once, drawn once and lost six times, scoring nine goals and conceding 19.
Their home record is particularly worrying. The Viola have yet to win at the Stadio Artemio Franchi in the league, recording one draw and three defeats. They have also lost their last three Serie A matches, most recently falling 2-1 to Inter on 25 October.
Fiorentina looked capable of taking something from that match after Alex Jimenez gave them the lead, but late goals turned the game against them. Paolo Vanoli’s side must now find a way to convert promising spells into points.
Their Coppa Italia victory over Pisa offered some encouragement, but league form remains the priority. Fiorentina hope to welcome Luca Ranieri back from a foot injury, but Marin Pongracic is a major doubt after being withdrawn early against Inter. Fabiano Parisi and Arthur Atta are also unavailable.

Let’s take a look at Atalanta’s current situation. We will analyse their recent form, expectations, and the standout players for the trip to Florence.
Atalanta sit in the bottom half of Serie A after collecting 10 points from their first eight matches. They have won three, drawn one and lost four, and their recent performances have exposed significant defensive problems.
Their 4-4 draw with Frosinone on 25 October illustrated both sides of their game. Nikola Krstovic scored twice as Atalanta fought back from an early setback, but they ultimately conceded a late equaliser. They had also lost 3-2 to AC Milan in the league and 2-0 away to Ajax in Europe.
Atalanta’s away form is especially poor. They have lost all three of their Serie A matches on the road, scoring three goals and conceding seven. That record will be a concern ahead of a visit to a Fiorentina side desperate to end its losing run.
Atalanta have several defensive concerns, with Sead Kolasinac, Isak Hien, Odilon Kossounou and Raoul Bellanova listed as unavailable. Giorgio Scalvini could return, while Franck Kessie, Kamaldeen Sulemana and Giacomo Raspadori remain doubts.
