Thursday, at 19:45, Atalanta will receive the Fiorentina visit in a match for the return of the Italian Cup semifinals. The match will take place at the “Atleti Azzurri d’Italia” stadium in Bergamo.
After the weekend’s success on Napoli’s (2-1) field, Atalanta has seriously re-entered cards for a seat of the UEFA Champions League, standing at the 4th AC Milan. In the Cup, the situation is even more favorable to the Bergamo group. Gasperini’s band got a super-spectacular draw two months ago on “Artemio Franchi,” a 3-3 score, which turned it into a favorite for the return on Thursday. Characterized as a solid, efficient team, particularly on the ground, Atalanta has all the chances of winning against Fiorentina, which has not won for about two and a half months in all competitions.
In the last ten direct clashes between the two bands, Fiorentina was forced four times, Atalanta only once, while the other five duels ended in a draw;
Four of the previous five direct disputes ended with gaps on both sides;
Atalanta has scored 3 goals in the last two games played in the “violets” company;
Given the circumstances of this game, we expect a spectacular hostile run. In the context that we do not believe Atalanta will take advantage of its own land to get a skill at hand, we believe we will be witnessing a logical outlook, favorable to Gasperini’s students.
