Thursday’s Football Bet of the Day sees me head to Serie A, and I’ve highlighted a goals-based selection in one of the fixtures.
⚽️ Fiorentina vs Atalanta
🇮🇹 Serie A
⏰ Thursday 29 October, 19:45
Entertainment looks on the cards in Tuscany on Thursday night as struggling Fiorentina welcome Atalanta to the Franchi.
Ex-Rangers defender Paolo Vanoli has seen his side score nine goals across their opening eight Serie A fixtures this season, with all nine of them coming across their last six matches.
After banking in each of their opening two Serie A fixtures this season, La Viola have found the back of the net in each of their next six, and will look to extend that record against an Atalanta defence that has failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their last six Serie A encounters, shipping 14 goals.
Maurizio Sarri’s visitors have scored 14 goals across their opening eight Serie A contests this campaign, with nine (64%) of them coming on their travels.
La Dea have blanked just once in Serie A this term – scoring on multiple occasions in each of their last three – and will be confident of continuing their recent good form in front of goals against a Fiorentina backline that has failed to keep a clean sheet in Serie A this season, shipping 19 goals.

Bet of the Day
Fiorentina’s opening eight Serie A fixtures this season have averaged an eye-catching 3.50 goals per game, with Over 2.5 Goals banking in seven (88%) of them, whilst each of their last six have produced goals at both ends.
Atalanta’s opening eight Serie A contests this campaign have averaged a slightly more impressive 3/63 goals per game, with Both Teams to Score & Over 2.5 Goals paying out in six (75%) of them – including in five of their past six – and I’m backing that trend to continue in Tuscany on Thursday.
- Both Teams to Score & Over 2.5 Goals
- Pays 5/6 (bet365)
