On Sunday, at 14:00, Fiorentina will receive Atalanta Bergamo’s visit in a match for the 7th Serie A. The match will take place at the “Artemio Franchi” stadium in Florence.
Duel of homogeneous and spectacular bands.
What Gasperini has managed to do for several seasons at Atalanta is also about to bring Stefano Pioli to Fiorentina: a united group, a family. “Violets” excels in this season start, practicing a soccer fancy eye, open, spectacular, and largely effective. With 12 goals in 6 stages, Fiorentina is based on a three-off offensive Chiesa-Simeone-Pjaca who did not say much in the last season. Assist in the middle of Veretout and Benassi, they form an offensive trio more than dangerous and, as Fiorentina showed in these first 6 rounds, it has all the reasons to hope for a Europe seat at the end of the season.
On the other hand, Atalanta is in a visible deadlock. Without winning eight matches in all competitions, “La Dea” suffers in spite of fairly upscale evolutions. In fact, it can be considered that Atalanta had bad luck in home games against Cagliari (0-1) and Torino (0-0). On top of one another, one thing is certain: the spirit and the united group in the Bergamo group were not lost at any time. Attacking with the same Pasalic, Zapata and Gomez and on Sunday afternoon in Florence, Atalanta has her reasons to hope for a positive result, be it an equal, considering the strength of the “violets” on her arena.
