Atalanta will be out to revive their hopes for silverware when they welcome Fiorentina in the Coppa Italia clash on Thursday. They will welcome a short break from their Serie A engagements, having gone winless in their last three matches. Atalanta have three clean sheets in their last five matches but have failed to score in two of the last three matches. In their last game in the Coppa Italia, Atalanta eliminated struggling Venezia but it will be tougher here, with Fiorentina also looking to bounce back. Going to this game, Atalanta will be looking to do better than they did in the home loss to struggling Cagliari. It was an unexpected result, having come from straight 0-0 draws with Inter Milan and Lazio. They had Juan Agustin Musso sent off in that game. In three of the last four meetings with Fiorentina, Atalanta have won, and Daniel Zapata has enjoyed a good run, scoring four in the four meetings.

Fiorentina are getting used to life without Dusan Vlahovic, who left for Juventus in January, and has already had his first goal at his new station. He will be missed in this game as he had established a good run against Atalanta, scoring four goals in the last two matches against Atalanta. In the last meeting between these two sides, Fiorentina claimed a 2-1 win, the first since January 2020 in the Coppa Italia and they’ll be looking to replicate. They aren’t in very good shape going into this game; in their last outing, Fiorentina were thrashed 3-0 by Lazio, and in the game before that they drew 1-1 with Cagliari. They have just one clean sheet in their last five matches and have conceded two or more in three of their last five matches.
