Imagine the reactions when a DFB Cup round of 16 is scheduled on a regular working day. Not only the guest fans would go on the barricades, but also the home fans.

Fiorentina vs Atalanta Bergamo Betting Odds and Predictions

Impossible? Maybe in Germany, but not in Italy. The second round of the Coppa Italia between Fiorentina and Atalanta Bergamo will kick off on Wednesday afternoon.

Even though the Italians are known to take long lunch breaks, the Artemio Franchi Stadium in Tuscany on Wednesday afternoon is by no means full. Accordingly, the home advantage should not play a major role for the viola.

The current form of the two teams also speaks in no way for the home side. In this respect, the odds of over 3.00 offered to the home side between Fiorentina and Atalanta Bergamo are absolutely justified.

Fiorentina – statistics & current form

Demand and reality do not necessarily go hand in hand. The fans of Fiorentina can sing a song about this fact. The calendar year 2019 was probably the weakest since eternal times.

In the spring the descent could only be avoided very thinly, there was no real improvement in the autumn. Vincenzo Montella had to vacate his chair in view of an average of 0.85 points in 26 games.

Giuseppe Iachini has been on the coaching bench since Christmas and should make 2019 forget. The first two competitive games under the new coach can certainly be rated positively. After a draw at FC Bologna, the viola won 1-0 in the first home game of 2020 thanks to a hit by captain and defense boss German Pezzella against SPAL Ferrara.

After eight league games without a win, it was finally a complete success. This gave the Fiorentina some air in the relegation battle and ranked 16th with 21 points.

After the summer commitments of old stars like Franck Ribery or Kevin-Prince Boateng as well as young, highly traded talents like attacker Pedro, the expectations were very different, after all, there was public talk about qualifying for Europe. In the league this will probably be an impossibility.

In the cup, this chance is still intact. In contrast to Atalanta Bergamo, the viola had to survive two rounds and was not naked against the underclass teams from Monza (3rd league) and Cittadella (2nd league). On Wednesday afternoon, however, the Fiorentina against Atalanta Bergmo is considered an outsider according to current odds and prediction.

Probable lineup of Fiorentina:
➤ Terracciano – Dalbert, Caceres, Ceccherini, Lirola – Badelj, Cristoforo, Benassi – Sottil, Vlahovic, Pedro

Atalanta Bergamo – statistics & current form

Youth work at Atalanta Bergamo has enjoyed an excellent reputation for many years. In the meantime, the professional department can harvest the fruits and under Gian Piero Gasperini the Lombards developed into an absolute top club. This applies not only nationally, but also internationally.

The debut in the UEFA Champions League managed to progress despite a horrific start to the group stage (three defeats). Never before has a team been able to survive the preliminary round after zero points from the first three games. In the round of 16 of the premier class there is now a duel with the Spanish representative Valencia. The Gasperini protected are in no way without chance in this game.

In the domestic championship, Atalanta Bergamo finished fourth after the first half of the season and would therefore once again fix the qualification for the Champions League. The offensive, which scored no less than 49 goals, is absolutely outstanding. Overall, 15 of the 19 league games ended with an over 2.5 in the Lombards. Between Fiorentina and Atalanta Bergamo, odds of around 1.65 are offered for this prediction.

Last weekend, Atalanta Bergamo missed a win, but top club Inter Milan were able to take a point abroad. Previously, the Gasperini protected celebrated 5-0 victories against both AC Milan and FC Parma.

The role as a guest does not necessarily disturb the fourth in the Serie A table, because this season Atalanta Bergamo presents itself more abroad than in front of a home crowd. There was only a defeat in the guest appearance in Bologna, otherwise five games could be won, the remaining four ended in a draw.

At Fiorentina, Mattia Caldara is likely to make a comeback. The central defender switched to Juventus in January 2017 for 19 million euros, but was unable to assert himself with the old lady and was sold to Milan for 35 million euros. From the Rossoneri – with whom he also had no regular place – he now returns to his youth club on loan and is supposed to find his way again.

Probable lineups of Atalanta Bergamo:
➤ Sportiello – Caldara, Toloi, Djimsiti – Arana, de Roon, Malinovskyi, Pasalic, Hateboer – Ilicic, Barrow

Last games from Atalanta Bergamo:

⚽️ 01/11/2020 – Inter Milan vs. Atalanta Bergamo 1: 1 (Serie A)
⚽️ 01/06/2020 – Atalanta Bergamo vs. Parma 5-0 (Serie A)
⚽️ 12/22/2019 – Atalanta Bergamo vs. AC Milan 5-0 (Serie A)
⚽️ 15.12.2019 – Bologna vs. Atalanta Bergamo 2-1 (Serie A)
⚽️ 12/11/2019 – Shakhtar Donetsk vs. Atalanta Bergamo 0-3 (Champions League)

The cup duel is a deja vu for the two teams. The teams faced each other at Coppa Italia last season, but at the time in the semifinals. In the first and second leg, the Lombards of Gian Piero Gasperini prevailed with a total score of 5: 4.
