Atalanta - Fiorentina predictions

The online bookies marked Atalanta as the favourites, which makes a lot of sense. Still, we wouldn’t put Fiorentina winning beyond them – not to mention that draws are a strong possibility in relatively balanced games.

At 4.28 betting odds, an away win would be a huge surprise and we’re positive La Viola are well aware of it themselves.

The home side had their fans sitting on the edge of the seat last time in the Serie A. Atalanta played a tough game away from home and had a win in the bag for the first 45 minutes. They had a great chance of landing what would have been three important points but failed to keep it until the end. However, a point away is nothing to scoff at.

The result of La Viola’s previous home match against Roma was a somewhat disappointing 2:2 draw. The result is not bad considering they were tagged as underdogs going in – but it’s a shame their first-half lead went to waste.

The biggest issue the hosts have is a lacklustre backline. They’re currently on a bit of a trend of conceding a lot of goals – over 5 across their 3 previous matches, to be exact.

La Viola and their strikers are well-regarded by experts and bookies alike – they managed to score more than 5 times in their previous 3 home games.

With 1 point needed for a spot in the Europa League, Atalanta will have to buckle down for a strong finish to the season. Thankfully, round 29 seems like a great opportunity to work towards success.

Being the clear underdogs in this matchup, La Viola don’t seem likely to move up from their current number 8th table position. They’ll be quite motivated to do so, though – unless they can close a 5 -point difference before the end of the season, their Europa ambitions will come to nought.

Though a home win is priced at 1.90, the hosts lost their most recent game against La Viola. The two teams played earlier in the season, though Atalanta were the visitors and the goal difference was quite narrow.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1.78, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
