Fiorentina come into the match on the back of a heavy 4-0 loss at Inter Milan in Serie A prior to the international break.
Fiorentina conceded the opening goal in the 23rd minute and the score was 1-0 at half time.
Most of the damage was done in the second half and Inter Milan scored 3 goals in a 20 minute period to record a comfortable victory over Fiorentina.
It was a disappointing loss for Fiorentina who had started the season with a win and a draw.
Fiorentina opened their 2023/24 campaign with a good 4-1 win at Genoa, scoring 2 goals in the first 11 minutes of the match.
However, having led Lecce 2-0 at half time in-front of their own fans, Fiorentina let the lead slip in the second half and the game ended 2-2.
Trends show Fiorentina have not been beaten in 6 of their 7 most recent matches in Serie A.
They are undefeated in their last 9 league games at home and have scored a goal in each of their last 10 on home soil.
Atalanta make the trip to the Stadio Artemio Franchi having beat Monza 3-0 at home in Serie A last time out.
Atalanta opened the scoring in the 35th minute and doubled their advantage before the interval.
Into the second half and Atalanta scored their third goal in the 62nd minute to claim maximum points.
Atalanta started the 2023/24 Serie A season with a good 2-0 win at Sassuolo, with goals coming in the final 7 minutes of the match.
That was followed by a 2-1 defeat at Frosinone, a game Atalanta were expected to win.
Trends show Atalanta have won 7 of their 11 most recent fixtures in Serie A.
They are undefeated in 4 of their last 7 away Serie A matches and have seen both teams score in 5 of those 7 games.
Looking ahead to the team news and Fiorentina are expected to be without the injured midfield duo of Antonin Barak and Gaetano Castrovilli.
Atalanta travel without El Bilal Touré and Hans Hateboer, who are both in the treatment room.
Both teams have won games this season but also suffered disappointing defeats, which means this should be a close match.
We expect to see both teams find the back of the net but Atalanta have been the better team in recent seasons and it could be they who came away with all 3 points.
