The return of Serie A action this weekend includes some eye-catching clashes and these Fiorentina vs. Atalanta predictions look at a key game. Both sides have already lost in the opening weeks of the season, with Atalanta holding the edge on current form.
Fiorentina vs. Atalanta odds
1 – Atalanta to win – 19/10
2 – Atalanta under 2.5 total goals – 2/13
3 – Total goals scored under 2.5 – 11/10
4 – Both teams not to score – 13/10
5 – Atalanta to win 2-0 – 16/1
The start of the new Serie A season has been an overall positive for both Fiorentina and Atalanta, with both teams working towards another European qualification in 2024.
Gian Piero Gasperini’s team have won two of their first three matches so far this season, with impressive victories against Sassuolo and Monza.
In comparison, Fiorentina have not secured a league win since the opening weekend of the campaign. But they have secured progress to the UEFA Europa Conference League group stages.
That form tips Atalanta over the edge as favourites to win in what would be their first away victory of the season.
The two Atalanta victories have averaged 2.5 goals scored by Gasperini’s charges and they kept a clean sheet in both victories. The goals have been shared between the forward line, with summer signing Gianluca Scamacca netting a brace in the 3-0 win over Monza ahead of the international window.
With just two goals conceded in the opening three fixtures, they have the joint-third best defensive record in Serie A in 2023-24 and Vincenzo Italiano’s home side failed to score in their 4-0 loss to Inter prior to the international break.
The odds are in Atalanta’s favour and their ability to shut out teams will be a key factor in trying to keep Fiorentina at bay this weekend away from home.
Victory for Gasperini’s team would keep them in touch with their rivals for a Champions League spot in the early weeks of the season, with Inter and Milan the only sides with a perfect winning record after three games ahead of their own San Siro showdown this weekend.

Atalanta team news
Atalanta’s injury picture remains unchanged since the international break, with summer signing El Bilal Toure still sidelined alongside Hans Hateboer. A solid win prior to the break could mean an unchanged starting side for the visitors for this key trip to Florence.
