Fiorentina’s Recent Form & Attacking Threat
Fiorentina comes into this key match feeling good after beating Juventus 3-0, which gave them a big boost. This win, along with their 3-1 victory over Panathinaikos in the UEFA Europa Conference League, showed how well they can score goals.
One of Fiorentina’s standout trends this season has been their knack for scoring goals . They’ve put 75 balls in the net in 40 games across all competitions averaging 1.88 goals per match, their best attacking performance in over 60 years. What’s more, Albert Gudmundsson and Moise Kean have teamed up to create a dangerous attacking pair, with Kean coming back from international duty in great shape after scoring twice against Germany.
At home, La Viola have shown their strength scoring at least one goal in 13 of their last 15 matches across all competitions. On top of that, Robin Gosens—who used to play for Atalanta—has scored in two Serie A home matches in a row and is keen to make it three straight games.

Atalanta’s Recent Form & Offensive Strength
Atalanta’s attack has proven strong this season. They lost 2-0 to Inter Milan before the international break, but came back strong. They beat Juventus 4-0 and won 5-0 at Empoli in February.
A key reason to bet on Both Teams to Score (BTTS) is Atalanta’s great away record. They’ve earned more away points (33) than any Serie A team. They’ve won their last four away games scoring at least two goals in each.
Even though Mateo Retegui can’t play because he’s hurt, Atalanta still has Ademola Lookman, who’s been a real problem for Fiorentina before. The Nigerian striker has played a part in six goals in four Serie A games against Fiorentina (4 goals, 2 assists) scoring in each of those matches. Lookman will be the main guy to watch out for on attack, with Charles De Ketelaere and Mario Pasalic backing him up. Both of these players can make goals happen and score themselves.
