Fiorentina prepare to host Atalanta in a high-stakes Italian Serie A fixture as both sides look to reverse difficult domestic campaigns. Managed by Paolo Vanoli, the home side enters the match sitting 19th in the league table with just four points from eight matches, while Maurizio Sarri’s visiting Atalanta side occupies 12th position with 10 points amassed from their opening eight fixtures.

The midfield trio is slated to comprise Ndour, Fagioli, and Brescianini, while Mastantuono, Pellegrino, and Njie lead the attacking line.
Atalanta travel under Sarri with a 4-2-3-1 tactical setup. Carnesecchi starts in goal behind a back four consisting of Zappacosta, Kristensen, Obric, and Bernasconi. The double pivot in midfield features Gaetano and Éderson, supporting an advanced attacking midfield trio of Elmas, De Ketelaere, and Zalewski, with Krstovic operating as the central striker.
