While Fiorentina is in 11th place with 9 points and has won only one of the last five. If they win, they could climb to seventh place.

With four wins in the last five games and 17 points in the runner-up position, Atalanta could snatch first place from Napoli if they win by a five-goal margin, which seems unlikely.

Great match awaits us this Sunday with the clash at the top when the surprising Atalanta do the honors to Fiorentina. We begin with VAVEL's coverage of the game.

A very close record in the last five matches where Fiorentina has a favorable balance thanks to three wins (all of them in a row) in exchange for two losses.

Fiorentina have also had a good start in the defensive zone conceding only 6 goals in 7 games and this is largely thanks to what Pietro Terracciano has done, who has pulled out some important balls under the three posts.

He has been the name of balance in the midfield, but also Giorgio Scalvini has a good shot from medium distance, as he showed in the most recent clash against Roma, who, with his goal, left the Stadio Olimpico in Rome with the full booty.

On several occasions Fiorentina has had the chance to get a better result, but the offensive machine has not been on their side and they have just 7 goals in 7 games and will face the overall runner-up, so they have to show what they are made of.

Atalanta along with Napoli are the only clubs that so far have not known defeat and will seek to continue with this condition at home after they have achieved five wins and two draws and have only conceded three goals.

The Atalanta vs Fiorentina match will be played at the Gewiss Stadium, in Atalanta, Italy. The kick-off is scheduled at 12:00 pm ET.
