The final game of the 2023-24 Serie A season sees Europa League champions Atalanta host Conference League runners-up Fiorentina in a fairly inconsequential clash.

The match between la Dea and the Viola kicks off at 17.00 UK time at the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo.

Atalanta have already secured a spot in the Champions League and could overtake Juventus to snipe third in the table with a win over Fiorentina, giving them the chance for bragging rights after a positive campaign under Gian Piero Gasperini.

La Dea are without the injured Marten de Roon and Sead Kolasinac, but the rest of Gasperini’s squad are fully fit.

Fiorentina have been left with regrets after losing their second consecutive Conference League final so will be hoping to close out the season in a positive fashion with a win in Bergamo.

The Viola cannot count on Riccardo Sottil, who’s out with a collarbone injury, and Rolando Mandragora is unavailable through suspension.

The two sides have already met three times this season, with Fiorentina edging out a 3-2 win in the league but suffering a 4-2 aggregate loss in the Coppa Italia semi-finals.

Starting line-ups for Atalanta vs Fiorentina

Atalanta (3-4-1-2): Carnesecchi; Toloi, Hien, Scalvini; Holm, Pasalic, Ederson, Bakker: Koopmeiners, De Ketelaere; Toure.

Fiorentina (4-2-3-1): Terracciano; Kayode, Milenkovic, Ranieri, Parisi; Arthur, Bonaventura; Gonzalez, Beltran, Kouame; Belotti.
