Atalanta Bergamo:
With coach Gian Piero Gasperini, the success has arrived in Bergamo. From 2000 to 2010 Atalanta was a typical elevator team. But these times are long gone. After a fourth and a seventh place at the end of the previous two seasons, the Black and Blue are in fifth place in Serie A this season after 33 match days. Milan, in the first Champions League, is only ranked for the better goal difference in front of “La Dea”. The start of the season with only six points from the first eight games for Bergamo was not so rosy. The club was in early October only on the fourth last place. In addition, Atalanta had failed in the Europa League qualifiers at FC Copenhagen. But then started the high-altitude flight of the northern Italians. The club relies on a young and wild team, in which especially the chemistry is right. The departure of service providers can be skilfully started with talents from the youth academy or cheap purchases. Coach Gasperini worked as a coach between 1994 and 2003 in the junior division of Juventus. He prefers to play his boys in the 3-4-3, inspired by Ajax.
66 goals mean the league’s second best offensive, just one less than Juve. Away, the men of Coach Gasperini are better off than at home. With 26 points from 16 games in front of their own fans, the club is in tenth place in the home table. In the away table, Bergamo is in second place behind Juventus with 30 points. With 28 points from 14 games “La Dea” is also the second best team of the back series behind the champion from Turin. For nine games, the black and blue are unbeaten. In the Cup quarter-finals, Bergamo had already caused a big surprise with the 3-0 home victory against Juventus. In the league won “La Dea” on Monday 2-1 in second-placed Naples. The Lombards had lagged behind the break 0: 1. With a better chance utilization Napoli could also have led to the break higher. With the inclusion of striker Ilicic in the 54th minute but turned the game. The goals ended for Atalanta his series of 333 minutes without own goal. Man of the day, with a template and a goal, was again Duvan Zapata, who already stands at 21 goals in 32 league games. The home side will have to do without Marco Varnier and Rafael Toloi on Thursday.
Fiorentina:
For the Fiorentina, the league season is actually over. The gap to sixth place is 15 points. On the first relegation rank the Violets have eleven points advantage. With a win in the Italian Cup, Florence could save the season. Coach Stefano Pioli had after the 0-1 defeat against the table penultimate Frosinone Calcio on 7 April pulled the consequences and had resigned from his post as coach of the lilies. From the last eleven games under Pioli the Associazione Calcio could win only one game.
His successor was Vincenzo Montella, who already looked after the club from 2012 to 2015. With Montella, the Fiorentina had reached the top four of Serie A three times in a row. In addition, Florence was drafted with the coach 2014 in the final of Coppa Italia and a year later the semi-finals of the Europa League. Montella is now leading the team to the next cup final. The debut of the new coach in the league was with a point from two games but rather modest. The 1: 2 defeat on Saturday at Juventus was certainly acceptable. Against Bergamo coach Montella has to do without Marco Pjaca.
