Fiorentina vs Atalanta team news and expert analysis
The Florence-based club reached the Europa League playoffs last season while simultaneously fighting to avoid relegation from Serie A. Vanoli's arrival eventually helped the team finish in 15th place. He was brought back after Fiorentina's poor start to the 2026/2027 campaign. That provided a boost in September, with a couple of wins and a draw against Napoli, but after the international break they lost 1-2 to Genoa. They then also suffered defeats against the leaders, Como and Inter.
After Gasperini's departure last season, the team from Bergamo slipped to seventh place. As a result, the Italians entered the modest Conference League, where they got through qualifying against Hapoel in the summer, beat Pafos this month, but lost to Ajax. Meanwhile, in Serie A, after recording several wins at the start, they began losing frequently. They also suffered defeat against Milan. Against newcomers Frosinone, they produced an entertaining 4-4 draw.
Vanoli's side are currently averaging just 1.13 goals scored, while conceding twice as many in return — 2.38. The visitors from the suburbs of Milan average 1.75 goals scored and 1.88 conceded.
