Fiorentina - Atalanta Football prediction

Fiorentina and Atalanta play at Stadio Artemio Franchi in a 7th round match of Serie A TIM. At this stage, the history of direct confrontations is favorable to the home team, which has 4 wins and 2 draws in the last 6 games. However, the last time they met at this stadium was on 24-09-2017, in a match for Serie A TIM that ended in a draw for (1-1). The goals of the match were scored by F. Chiesa (12 ') for Fiorentina and R. Freuler (90') for Atalanta. In this match the home factor may play an important role, since Atalanta presents significant differences in the results achieved at home and as a visitor.

Analysis of Fiorentina
After 3 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses, the home team is in 5th place, having won 10 points. In the last match, they lost with Internazionale away by (2-1), after in the previous game to have won at home, in a game against SPAL, by (3-0). This is a team that maintains the income when it plays outside its stadium, because in the last 30 games it registers 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses as a visitor; against 8 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses in his stadium. Fiorentina won 6, drew 1 and lost 3 of their last 10 home games for all competitions. His attack has scored regularly, as he has scored goals in 5 of the last 6 games in this competition.

Fiorentina is a club that has already won the Serie A TIM (Italian League) twice, being the last title defeated in 1968/69, in addition to having six Coppa Italia titles and a runner-up in the Champions League in 1956/57 . In the current season, the team has been making a good campaign in the first rounds, winning ten of the eighteen points played so far, thus being among the first placed. Watching Fiorentina's performance as the main player, counting only the national championship, we see that of the last five matches he played at home, in four of them the team scored their goals and in three of them scored more than 1.5 goals. I believe that in this match the standard will remain, since Fiorentina have a strong offensive system enough to score goals and come out with the win.

Review of Atalanta
The visiting team is currently in 13th place with 6 points, after 1 win, 3 draws and 2 losses. In the penultimate match, he tied it out for Milan by (2-2). In the last match, they tied at home to Torino by (0-0). This is a team affected by the home factor, stronger when played with the support of their fans, since in the last 30 games has 5 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses as a visitor, with a total of 30 goals scored and 17 conceded. Already inside the home, he won 9 wins, 5 draws and 1 loss, with a total of 32 goals scored and 10 conceded. In the last 10 games as a visitor Atalanta won 3, drew 4 and lost 3. There is a tendency for there to be goals in their away games, as 23 of the last 27 matches they played ended with over 1.5 goals. This is a team that scores a few times first: just opened the scoring in 2 of their last 9 games, of these 2 reached the break in lead in 1 and won in the late 90 'in all. In 9 games, he suffered the first goal 4 times and never managed to turn the score.

Atalanta is a club that has never been able to win Serie A TIM (Italian League), having as its most important titles throughout its history the Serie B (National Division), won five times, and a title of Coppa Italia. In the current season, the team has been performing irregularly in the beginning of the national championship, winning only six of the eighteen points played so far, being thus in the thirteenth position, near the relegation zone. Looking at the performance of Atalanta as a visitor, we see that the team have not won the last five games they have played away from home. I believe that in this confrontation, being facing a very strong opponent, Atalanta again will not be able to leave with a positive result.
