Season Form & Standings
2025/26 season to date.
| Team | Pos | P | W | D | L | GF | GA | GD | Pts |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Atalanta | 13 | 12 | 2 | 7 | 3 | 14 | 14 | 0 | 13 |
| Fiorentina | 19 | 12 | 0 | 6 | 6 | 10 | 19 | -9 | 6 |
Atalanta have drawn more than half their matches and sit mid-table, but their underlying numbers suggest better results could be ahead. Fiorentina, meanwhile, are still searching for a first win and their defensive record is a major concern.
Potential Match-Winners
- Gianluca Scamacca (Atalanta): As the main striker, Scamacca is likely to see chances given Atalanta’s league-best 130 key passes (10.8 per game) and 18 big chances created (1.5 per game). He is priced at 6/5 (45.5%) to score anytime.
- Ademola Lookman (Atalanta): Brings pace and directness to Atalanta’s attack, benefiting from the team’s high possession and creativity.
- Albert Gudmundsson (Fiorentina): Likely to be Fiorentina’s main threat in attack, but will need to take limited chances efficiently—Fiorentina average just 0.83 goals per game.
Notably, neither side has a player among the league’s top three for goals or assists, highlighting a collective approach or lack of a standout talisman so far this campaign.
