Atalanta vs Fiorentina: Prediction
Atalanta are truly flying. They have lost just once since the start of 2017, and are on a four game winning streak. Yes, three of those were against teams like Cagliari, Crotone, and Pescara, but La Dea answered any possible critics by downing Napoli – a team who are in the top three – at the Stadio San Paolo. At the start of this season, many would have expected Fiorentina to be the ones pushing for a European football spot, but that has not been the case.
The Viola have been utterly disappointing this season and surely will be wishing they could hit the “reset” button on this campaign. Paulo Sousa’s side appear to have lost their way and this is something that Atalanta will look to exploit as they continue their push for a top five spot.
