Fiorentina vs Atalanta Prediction & Betting tips
The quarter-finals in the Italian Cup competition, the Coppa Italia, made many headlines. Finally, all four teams that were represented in the fall of 2018 in the Champions League group stage, had to cancel the sails. No Juventus, no SSC Naples, no Inter Milan and also the Roma is not in the semi-finals. The biggest surprises were the victories of Fiorentina and Atalanta Bergamo in the semi-finals!
The Fiorentina caused a Roman debacle. In front of a home crowd, the Roma was sent home with a heavy 7: 1 pack. Also surprising, and most importantly, was the success of Atalanta Bergamo against the great Dominator Juventus Turin. With 3: 0 retained the Gasperini-Elf the upper hand. In the semifinals, the finalist will not be determined in 90 minutes, but in the first and second leg. The second leg will be played at the end of April. In the first leg in Tuscany, there are even odds between Fiorentina and Atalanta Bergamo. The start of the match at Artemio Franchi Stadium is on Wednesday at 8 pm.
Fiorentina:
In the long club history of Fiorentina, the team from Tuscany has hitherto celebrated the title in Coppa Italia six times. However, the last triumph (2000/01) is already a while back. This year, the team of head coach Stefano Pioli has the great opportunity to reach at least the final. The Lombards from Bergamo are a kind of “favorite opponent” for the Fiorentina. In addition, the current constitution certainly speaks for the home side. In the calendar year 2019 Fiorentina had yet to cope with any defeat. Florence celebrated four wins in eight competitive games and drew just as often. Of course, the victory in the quarterfinals against the Roma was absolutely impressive. In the 7-1 success, the Pioli Elf played downright into a frenzy.
The first defeat in 2019 prevented AC Florence last weekend in the 101st minute. In fact, the time is correct. In a spectacular match, the Viola reached a 3: 3 draw against Inter Milan in front of their home crowd. The Fiorentina already cheered after just 16 games seconds due to a De Vrij-own goal already 1-0 lead. Inter, however, turned the game and was shortly after restarting 3-1 lead. A Muriel hammer and a controversial penalty brought the balance. Only after several minutes of study of the VAR was decided on penalty, turned the Veretout in the mentioned 101st minute bombproof.
Confidence in the current table ninth should not be lacking. The results in recent weeks are quite satisfactory. Rank nine – and thus again no qualification for Europe – but in any case a disappointment. Accordingly, the cup game will be important. In the domestic Artemio Franchi Stadium, the Viola has a 5-5-2 record this season. On “Boxing Day” – the 26th of December – the Fiorentina had to give up at home for the last time.
Atalanta Bergamo:
The Elf of Gian Piero Gasperini stands for absolute football spectacle. In games no other team have scored more goals this season than the Lombards. An average of 3.48 goals per game were drawn from matches played by Atalanta Bergamo. With 51 season hits, the Lombards make the league’s second-best offensive. Only Juventus has scored more often with 53 goals. The current seventh-seventh, however, has no outstanding defense compared to the old lady. In 25 league games had Atalanta Bergamo already conceded 36 goals. With 38 points, Atalanta Bergamo currently has the same point yield as at the same time last season. In Serie A, the Gasperini team is two points ahead of Fiorentina. Only due to the lost direct comparison with the garnets of the Turin FC Lombards are currently not on a Europa League starting place. Last weekend saw a 2-0 away defeat in a direct duel with the Turin side. After the 1: 3 against the Rossoneri of AC Milan this was already the second defeat in a row. These two defeats, the clear direct comparison in favor of the Fiorentina and the series of eight games without defeat, it is a little surprising that in the first leg between the Fiorentina and Atalanta Bergamo, the odds are so balanced.
The guests from Bergamo act extremely spectacular in the game forward. Papu Gomez and Duvan Zapata form an extremely dangerous strike duo. Captain Alejandro “Papu” Gomez missed the Gasperini team last weekend. A bet on Wednesday in the Cup match is therefore still questionable. Should Gomez not get fit in time, youngster Musa Barrow should probably slip into the root formation. The Lombards have by far the most ball touches in the opposing 16er this season. An Atalanta player was on the ball 573 times, and Juventus had “only” 549 actions in the opponent’s penalty area in Serie A. Many dangerous gangs are guaranteed accordingly.
