Atalanta vs Fiorentina

, KO: 17:00 Jun 2, 2024, Gewiss Stadium
Fiorentina

ATALANTA will be looking to close out an already solid campaign on a positive note as they host Fiorentina in their final Serie A fixture of the season. The Bergamo club has been near perfect in recent weeks and should have the upper hand over La Viola.

Atalanta have plenty of reasons to be pleased with their campaign this season after finishing fifth on the standing, securing a return to the Champions League. Gian Piero Gasperini’s men also picked up a piece of silverware as they won the Europa League after a 3-0 victory over German champions Bayer Leverkusen.

The Bergamo club will head into Saturday’s clash unbeaten in 10 of their last 12 matches across all competitions, claiming nine wins in that run. They have also won their last three Serie A home fixtures, including a 1-0 victory over Torino last weekend.

In contrast to Atalanta’s fine showings lately, Fiorentina have been a bit erratic in recent weeks. They have picked up just two wins from their last six matches across all competitions and were beaten 1-0 by Olympiakos in the Europa Conference League final on Wednesday.

Fiorentina have also been a bit unconvincing on their travels, claiming just two wins from their last nine Serie A away matches. However, one of those victories came in their previous Serie A fixture as they triumphed 3-2 at Cagliari.

How the bookies view it: Advantage Atalanta

Atalanta have been installed as overwhelming favourites with a home win priced at 12/25 by bet365. A victory for Fiorentina is valued at 5/1 while a draw is set at odds of 4/1.

Recent head to head: Bergamo always a fortress

Fiorentina triumphed 3-2 in the reverse fixture back in September. However Atalanta have won the last two meetings at Gewiss Stadium, including a 4-1 victory in the Coppa Italia semi-final first leg in April.

Players to watch: Lookman’s season ending fire

Ademola Lookman has been the man in form for Atalanta having scored a hat-trick in the Europa League final. The Nigerian forward also found the net in two of the three meetings with Fiorentina this season and is priced at 7/5 by bet365 to maintain his scoring run.

Nicolas Gonzalez has been one of the standout players for Fiorentina this season and will be looking to close out the campaign on a positive note. The forward has four goals in his last four Serie A matches and is priced at 10/3 by bet365 to find the net once again.

Probable line-ups

Atalanta have no injuries or suspensions with Hans Hateboer available again after missing the win over Torino. Goalkeeper Juan Musso is also likely to return after being on the bench last time out.

Fiorentina are likely to make changes to the team that lost the Conference League final with the likes of Mbala Nzola and Antonin Barak likely to earn a start.

Atalanta: Musso, Toloi, Djimsiti, Scalvini, Zappacosta, Ederson, Koopmeiners, Ruggeri, De Ketelaere, Lookman, Scamacca
Fiorentina: Terracciano, Dodo, Quarta, Milenkovic, Biraghi, Mandragora, Duncan, Barak, Kouame, Gonzalez, Nzola

Anything else catch the eye?

Two of the three meetings between Atalanta and Fiorentina have produced over 4.5 goals and a repeat is priced at 3/1 by bet365. Over 3.5 goals could also be considered at 11/8 by bet365.

Atalanta are priced at minimal odds for a straight victory, so a win and both teams to score could be considered at 15/8 by bet365.
