- Date: Thursday 29 October 2026

Fiorentina Form and Team News
It has been a painful start to the season for Fiorentina. Vanoli’s side have won only once in their last six league games, and their most recent outing was especially cruel: they led Inter until the closing stages before losing 2-1. Their home form in particular has been poor.
On the injury front, Marin Pongracic is a major doubt after being forced off early against Inter. Fabiano Parisi and Arthur Atta are reported to be still unavailable, although Luca Ranieri is expected to return from a foot problem, which would be a welcome boost for the back line.
The positives? Fiorentina have shown they can create chances, and their attack has found the net regularly against Atalanta at the Franchi over the years. If they can hold their concentration for 90 minutes, they have the quality to beat a struggling opponent.
Atalanta Form and Team News
Atalanta are not in much better shape. Sarri’s side have collected just four points from their last six league games and drew a wild 4-4 with Frosinone last time out. They have also been poor on the road, with a string of away defeats across all competitions, and that defensive weakness is a real concern going into a hostile away trip.
The injury list is long. Raoul Bellanova is out, and reports in Italy suggest Sead Kolasinac, Isak Hien and Odilon Kossounou are also unavailable. That leaves Sarri with a patched-up defence, although Giorgio Scalvini could return. Franck Kessie, Kamaldeen Sulemana and Giacomo Raspadori are reported to be doubts.
Head-to-Head and Key Trends
- Fiorentina have an excellent home record against Atalanta in recent meetings.
- Atalanta drew 4-4 with Frosinone in their last league game.
- Fiorentina lost 2-1 at Inter after leading late on.
- Atalanta have struggled badly in away matches this season.
- Both teams have been leaking goals, which points towards both teams scoring.
Fiorentina vs Atalanta Prediction
This is a meeting of two sides low on confidence, but the trends point one way. Fiorentina’s history in this fixture at home is strong, while Atalanta’s injury problems at the back make them vulnerable away from Bergamo. Sarri’s side do still carry a threat going forward, as the eight goals in their draw with Frosinone showed, so we expect them to score.
The safest angle looks like goals at both ends, with Fiorentina edging it. A draw would not be a surprise either, given how inconsistent both teams have been, so the double chance on the hosts offers extra cover.
Prediction: Fiorentina 2-1 Atalanta.
Best tips:
- Both teams to score: Yes
