The Serie A is back in action with another round of matches this week as Fiorentina lock horns with Gian Piero Gasperini's Atalanta side in an important clash at the Stadio Artemio Franchi on Monday.
Fiorentina vs Atalanta Preview
Fiorentina are currently in ninth place in the Serie A standings and have not been at their best so far this season. La Viola were held to a 1-1 draw by Spezia in their previous league game and will need to take it up a notch this weekend.
Atalanta, on the other hand, are in sixth place in the league table at the moment and have been inconsistent this season. The away side slumped to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Bologna last week and will need to bounce back in this fixture.
Fiorentina vs Atalanta Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- Fiorentina have a good historical record against Atalanta and have won 19 out of the last 44 matches played between the two teams, as opposed to Atalanta's 10 victories.
- After a winless run of 13 matches against Fiorentina in the Serie A, Atalanta have managed to win five of their last eight matches against La Viola in the top flight.

Fiorentina vs Atalanta Prediction
Atalanta have not been at their best and will need to be at their best to work their way back into the top four. The likes of Duvan Zapata and Mario Pasalic have a point to prove and will need to step up this weekend.
