Prediction, Odds & Betting Tips for Atalanta vs. Fiorentina at Serie A
Two clubs from Italy that reached the European finals will close the Serie A season. Atalanta had more success, winning the Europa League title, while Fiorentina lost the Conference League finals for the second year in a row. It was a heartbreaking loss in Athens for Viola, whose players are in a knockdown now. However, they have to play this one and put an end to this frustrating campaign.
Atalanta
La Dea didn’t slow down following their win over Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League finals. Despite securing the Champions League spot, they went out last weekend to smash Torino at home, 3-0, and deny AS Roma a chance to enter the top European competition.
Their form is fantastic, winning eight of the recent ten meetings, with one tie and one loss, which happened in the Coppa Italia finals to Juventus, 0-1. However, that didn’t disrupt Gaperini’s unit, which came out stronger after that failure.
They put three triumphs in a row, all with clean sheets and with eight scored goals. The way they outclassed Bayer and inflicted the German champs their first loss of the year was impressive.
Fiorentina
Viola once again failed to reach the Conference League trophy. Olympiacos was better than the team from Florence, scoring the only goal in the extra times, once again handing pain to Fiorentina’s fans.
We can’t say that Fiorentina played some notable football this year, but they were more or less constant. The last 10 games saw them winning on five occasions, having three losses and two ties.
When it comes to efficiency, Viola’s characteristic is that their games include goals on both ends of the field. The game in Athens vs. Olympiacos was the first after eight consecutive in which we saw that. Seven of them were with over 2.5 goals as well.
Atalanta: Carnesecchi; Toloi, Djimsiti, Scalvini; Zappacosta, Koopmeiners, Pasalic, Ruggeri; Miranchuk, Lookman; Scamacca
Fiorentina: Terracciano; Dodo, Milenkovic, Martinez Quarta, Biraghi; Arthur, Bonaventura; Gonzalez, Beltran, Kouame; Belotti
Atalanta and Fiorentina met three times this season, twice in Coppa Italia and once in Serie A. That league meeting was in Florence, where the hosts triumphed 3-2 back in September. The Coppa Italia games were in the semis of the competition, 1-0 for Fiorentina in Florence and 4-1 for Atalanta in Bergamo.
This should be an open and relaxed match with lots of goals, and our pick would be both teams to score and over 2.5 goals. Fiorentina constantly scores and allows goals, while Atalanta wants to celebrate the trophy and entertain the fans.
Our verdict: Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals
