Fiorentina vs. Atalanta 2/20/22 Serie A Soccer Pick, Predictions, and Odds

Fiorentina is hosting Atalanta at Stadio Artemio Franchi in round 26 of the Italian Serie A. Fiorentina has gotten their first win without Vlahovic in Serie A, and it was against Spezia last weekend. Atalanta isn’t doing well in Serie A, and they got knocked out of the Coppa Italia last week, but they did get a win in the Europa League earlier this week.

Fiorentina is now on a 2-game winning streak, and they will be playing in the Coppa Italia semifinals against Juventus in a couple of weeks. In Serie A, Fiorentina is now in 8^th place with 39 points, which is quite solid, and they have scored 43 goals, but without Vlahovic, that number won’t grow a lot for the rest of the season. defensively, Fiorentina is an average team, but they will need to improve as the season goes on. Vlahovic has scored 17 goals for Fiorentina so far, but someone else will need to step up now that he is gone, and I’m not sure they have a player like that. Fiorentina is still a solid team with some good players, but unless they don’t find goals, they might be in for a massive disappointment.

As I’ve mentioned, Atalanta is struggling massively in Serie A, they are not good defensively, and they are not scoring as much as we know they can. Despite their struggles, Atalanta is in the top 5, in 5^th place with 44 points. Of the 46 goals Atalanta has scored, Zapata has scored 9, while Pasalic added 8 goals and 5 assists. There are some important injuries in Atalanta, and both of their strikers are on the list, Ilicic is injured as well, and that is what is causing all the problems for Atalanta. There has also been news earlier that Atalanta has new owners, and who knows what decisions will be made from now on in this club. Atalanta has done well in the Europa League and seeing how they are struggling in Serie A, the Europa League is something they need to focus on now.

I think this will be a really fun game because neither team is really focused on the defensive end, but they can still score goals. Atalanta is missing their strikers, Fiorentina doesn’t have anyone who can score goals consistently right now, but I see goals despite that in this game.
