Likely Winner:

Atalanta will be hoping for a routine win against Fiorentina but they are also one of the most unpredictable sides in the league. The away team has scored the most goals in the league at 68 but they have also conceded 36 goals in 29 games. The FIO vs ATA Today Match Prediction should be a chance for Fiorentina to prove that they can compete with the best sides in the league and put as much distance between them and the relegation spots as possible and a win can potentially put them in 12th place.
