Atalanta - Fiorentina predictions

Atalanta might be heading into this game as firm favourites to get a win but they will have their work cut out for them as Fiorentina are known to be highly unpredictable and capable of pulling a surprise when it is least expected.

At 4.40 betting odds, an away win would be a huge surprise and we’re positive La Viola are well aware of it themselves.

Although Atalanta are coming on the back of a harsh 4:0 loss, it would be rather unfair to judge them purely on that performance. They were playing an away game in an extremely difficult matchup against Inter , so they spent most of the match trailing behind.

La Viola did not exactly meet the expectations when it comes to their previous league match. They were the 1.83 favourites to beat Monza but instead went on to record an underwhelming 2:2 draw. To make things worse, Fiorentina were trailing at the halftime mark.

Atalanta’s recent performances have raised some questions about their defence. They conceded 6 goals throughout their latest three Serie A matches and betting on Over 4.5 seems like a reasonable option.

Last season, the hosts met Fiorentina and walked away with a remarkable, convincing victory. They’re still considered strong favourites because of this, though it’s worth keeping in mind that some time has passed since then.

The hosts may be favourites to win the match, but their lineup is in a somewhat weakened state. Isak Hien, Sead Kolašinac, Berat Djimsiti are all sidelined due to injury, which makes Atalanta’s position as favourites a bit shakier than it might seem.

An Over 3.5 Goals bet is easily the smartest choice for this fixture, consider in the teams’ respective histories. It’s a considerably more probable outcome than it seems, so the 2.65 odds are great value.
