The Serie A is back in action with another round of fixtures this weekend as Atalanta lock horns with Fiorentina on Sunday. Both teams have excellent players in their ranks and will want to win this game.
Fiorentina are in eighth place in the Serie A standings and have been fairly inconsistent in recent weeks. La Viola edged Spezia to an important 2-1 victory in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.
Atalanta, on the other hand, are in fifth place in the league table at the moment and have been impressive this year. La Dea were held to a 1-1 draw by Juventus last weekend and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.

Fiorentina have an impressive record against Atalanta and have won 18 out of 42 matches played between the two teams. Atalanta have managed nine victories against Atalanta and will need to improve their record in this fixture.
The previous game between the two Serie A outfits took place in the Coppa Italia this month and ended in a 3-2 victory for Fiorentina. Both teams committed errors on the day and will need to be more robust this weekend.
