Comments and predictions for Fiorentina vs Atalanta: Two explosive attacks

Latest Fiorentina vs Atalanta squad information

With two tough games in a row against Atalanta and AC Milan, along with the upcoming European Cup quarter-final, Fiorentina are in a favorable position with an almost completely healthy squad.

Only Andrea Colpani is still sidelined with a foot injury, while coach Raffaele Palladino has no further injury concerns.

Italy striker Moise Kean returns after scoring twice against Germany in the UEFA Nations League and is likely to start up front alongside Albert Gudmundsson, while winger Robin Gosens – who made 157 appearances and scored 29 goals for Atalanta – is looking to score in three consecutive home Serie A games.

In contrast to the home team, Atalanta traveled to Florence with a weakened squad. Most notably, top scorer candidate Mateo Retegui was absent due to a groin injury, forcing him to withdraw from the recent international training session.

The visitors' midfield was also hit by a blow as Ederson – one of the most consistent performers this season – was suspended after picking up a late red card against Inter.

Atalanta's injury list also includes Gianluca Scamacca, Odilon Kossounou and Giorgio Scalvini, and was recently supplemented by Austrian defender Stefan Posch.

With Retegui out, Ademola Lookman will shoulder much of the goalscoring duties for the visitors. The Nigerian striker – who is likely to leave Bergamo in the summer – has an impressive record against Fiorentina, having been involved in six goals in just four Serie A meetings.

Latest football commentary Fiorentina vs Atalanta

Just before the international break, Fiorentina fans were treated to a rare victory in their traditional rivalry with Juventus, as the Franchi side scored three goals to nil against the Old Lady of Turin in Florence.

The Viola were two goals up in the opening 20 minutes, and victory was all but assured when Albert Gudmundsson added a third just after the break. Remarkably, Fiorentina made the most of their chances, converting 100% of their shots on target.

After a series of poor performances since the beginning of 2025, coach Raffaele Palladino temporarily reduced the pressure thanks to positive results, and at the same time brought the team to the quarter-finals of the Conference League.

A 3-1 home win over Panathinaikos recently saw Fiorentina reach the last eight of Europe’s third-tier competition for the third consecutive time. This season, though, they have set their sights higher – reaching the final and bringing the trophy back to Florence.

Fiorentina will face NK Celje in the Conference League quarter-finals, but first they need to improve their Serie A position to increase their chances of qualifying for next season's European Cup through the domestic league.

They are currently in a tight battle with Bologna, Juventus, Lazio, AC Milan and Roma for fourth place – which could be the final spot if Atalanta finishes in the top three. This weekend, Fiorentina host Atalanta at the Stadio Artemio Franchi.

Fiorentina and Atalanta regularly produce entertaining encounters. The last three Serie A meetings have all ended with five goals scored, with two 3-2 wins for Fiorentina and one for Atalanta.

Even in the second leg of the Coppa Italia semi-final last season, both sides scored five goals together, showing that the possibility of recreating an exciting match is very high.

Atalanta – who beat Fiorentina at home in Bergamo six months ago – go into this game in a state of frustration, with their Serie A title hopes all but gone after a humiliating defeat to Inter Milan just before the break.

Just a week after thrashing Juventus 4-0, coach Gian Piero Gasperini's team continued their poor run of form against Inter. That defeat left them 6 points behind the leaders, with only 9 rounds left in the season.

After a run of five consecutive clean sheets in Serie A, Atalanta's defence conceded twice in the second half and seemingly handed Inter the chance to defend the Scudetto.

Gasperini and his players slipped just as the door opened. They were eliminated early from the Champions League and have not won two consecutive Serie A games in 2025. Now the most realistic target is to hold on to third place in the table.
