Fiorentina vs Atalanta Predictions

• Fiorentina have lost their last three Serie A matches
• Atalanta have conceded nine goals across their last three league fixtures
• Atalanta’s last three league matches have produced 16 goals

Defensive struggles point towards goals in Florence

Fiorentina and Atalanta have both endured difficult starts to the Serie A campaign and a high-scoring encounter could be on the cards when they meet in Florence on Thursday. The hosts have struggled for consistency this season and arrive following three successive league defeats, most recently suffering a 2-1 reverse at Inter.

Defensive frailties have been a particular concern for Fiorentina, who have conceded eight goals across those three losses, with each of those matches producing at least three goals. Atalanta have experienced similar problems at the back, conceding four times against Frosinone on Sunday in a remarkable 4-4 draw.

That result followed a 3-2 defeat at Milan, and the visitors have now conceded at least twice in four of their last five matches across all competitions.

However, Atalanta retain make up for it going forward and have scored ten goals across their last three league outings, with all three contests featuring at least four goals. With both sides struggling defensively but capable of causing problems going forward, another entertaining encounter looks likely, making over 2.5 goals the preferred selection.
