Atalanta v Fiorentina, official lineups: predicted goalscorers, cautioned players and shoot-outs for the Gewiss Stadium clash
The eighth day of Serie A is now in full swing, and features a match that has attracted a lot of attention in recent years, offering spectacle and plenty of goals from both sides. Atalanta v Fiorentina is that and much more, with the orobici wanting to protect the summit from the assaults of Napoli and the gigliati instead wanting to give continuity to the victory over Hellas Verona. Here are the line-up choices of the two coaches:
- ATALANTA (3-4-2-1): Sportiello; Toloi, Okoli, Scalvini; Hateboer, de Roon, Koopmeiners, Soppy; Ederson, Lookman; Muriel.
- FIORENTINA (4-3-3):Terracciano; Venuti, Quarta, Igor, Biraghi; Bonaventura, Mandragora, Barak; Ikoné, Kouamé, Saponara.
Atalanta v Fiorentina, goalscorers prediction
Atalanta, sly this year, will try to capitalise on those chances Fiorentina will most likely leave. With this in mind, Muriel might be able to carve out an important role for himself, having the chance to act with his lights off and freeze the Italian rearguard, which has appeared less than impeccable in this first part of the season. At the other end of the pitch, the Barak option is an intriguing one, and one that could see both teams score.
Atalanta-Fiorentina, likely cautions and marksmen
Koopmeiners should frame the mirror of the opponent’s goal on at least one occasion, as should Biraghi, who is very skilful on set pieces. Watch out for Toloi, who is in serious danger of ending up in the referee’s notebook: the defender very often fails to curb his impetus, and in the face of the speed of the Viola attackers he should find it quite difficult.
