Atalanta v Fiorentina

Atalanta vs Fiorentina Preview

One game is left remaining in the Italian top flight and that is this upcoming clash between fourth placed Atalanta and eighth placed Fiorentina when the two teams meet at the Gewiss Stadium on Sunday evening as Atalanta head into this encounter on the back of a comprehensive 3-0 home win against Torino, while Fiorentina registered a 3-2 win away from home at Cagliari, so both teams will be keen to sign off this season's Serie A campaign with a win here.

Atalanta's recent 3-0 thumping of Torino was also the hosts' six league win on the trot in Serie A which has lifted Gian Piero Gasperini's side up into fourth place in the domestic top flight standings and along with winning the Europa League final against Bayer Leverkusen, it has been an excellent campaign for the home side.

One more win though on Sunday evening would see Atalanta climb above Juventus into third place which would match their highest finish in the league since the 2020/21 campaign.

Atalanta had previously recorded wins on home soil at their Gewiss Stadium against Empoli and Roma, while the bigger picture shows that Gasperini's side have suffered just one defeat in their last 12 games, picking up 10 wins and keeping six clean sheets in the process.

Fiorentina missed out on potential silverware recently when they were dealt an agonising 1-0 defeat in extra-time against Greek outfit Olympiacos in the final of the UEFA Conference League and although the visitors have one more chance to end their season on a positive note, a lack of motivation may distract the players for this final fixture in Serie A.

Fiorentina occupy eighth place in the Serie A table and find themselves four points behind seventh placed Lazio so even all three points at the Gewiss Stadium on Sunday evening against an in-form Atalanta outfit would not be enough for Vincenzo Italiano's side to earn a Europa League qualifying spot.

The visitors will therefore have to make do with their current UEFA Conference League spot although they come into this final fixture on the back of two wins out of their last three games; wins against Monza and Cagliari respectively should still give the visitors a boost ahead of Sunday's clash.

However, results away from home in Serie A have not been convincing at all as the visitors have managed to capture just three wins from their last 13 outings on the road which were gained by way of wins at Monza, Salernitana and Cagliari but have also slipped to seven defeats and failed to score in six of these 13 games as well.
