Serie A: Fiorentina vs Atalanta
Kickoff Time: 2026-5-23 2:45 (HKT)
Fiorentina beat Juventus 2-0 away in their last league game, finally ending their four-match winless slump in the league. Plagued by poor early-season form and long-term fixture congestion across multiple competitions, Fiorentina have failed to show strong competitiveness in Serie A this campaign, even lingering in the relegation zone for a spell. Though they have secured their top-flight status comfortably, they have long lost any chance of qualifying for European competitions next season. Notably, the team is troubled by multiple injury issues. Tough right wing-back Tariq Lamptey has been sidelined since late April, whose absence has greatly weakened the side’s wide attack and defence. Besides, first-choice striker Moise Kean is also sidelined through injury. As the club’s top scorer, his layoff has disrupted Fiorentina’s attacking system and rendered their trademark fast counter-attacks ineffective.
Atalanta suffered a narrow 0-1 home defeat to Bologna last time out. They have claimed only 1 win, 2 draws and 3 losses in their latest six league matches, slipping into poor form. The club has endured a distinct mid-season slump this term. They enjoyed a bright start with solid performances both domestically and in European competitions, even securing a top-four league ranking earlier on. Yet mounting fixture fatigue and persistent injury woes triggered a sharp drop in results. Currently sitting 7th in the Serie A table, Atalanta hold a 3-point lead over 8th-placed Bologna. A positive result in this round will seal their spot in the Europa Conference League play-offs next season. It is worth mentioning that Atalanta have posted decent away records lately, registering 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat in their last five away league games, boasting solid points-grabbing potency on the road.
The two sides are evenly matched in recent form, yet Atalanta hold an edge in overall squad strength. Furthermore, Fiorentina have no more goals to chase in the remaining league fixtures, while Atalanta still need valuable points to secure European qualification, creating a clear gap in competitive motivation. Therefore, Atalanta are tipped to pick up points away from home in this encounter.
