Atalanta’s quest for a Coppa Italia title faces the test of overturning a 1-0 deficit over Fiorentina in the second leg of the semi-finals. The match will be played at the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo on Wednesday. A 31st-minute goal from Rolando Mandragora was the difference as Atalanta fell to their first defeat in this competition this season. Atalanta followed the first leg with two wins, one draw, and two losses, raising questions about their morale at the moment. In this context, a 2-1 win over Monza in Serie A over the weekend was a relief for the home fans. Speaking of which, they will hope it’s Atalanta, who boast of a strong home form, that can overturn the deficit from the first leg. This venue has seen Atalanta win nine of their last 12 matches, giving them a slight edge.

Fiorentina has had an equally indifferent form since the first leg match of this tie. Yet, they have picked up consecutive wins, a victory in the Europa Conference League and a success over Salernitana in the Serie A. Crucially for Fiorentina, four clean sheets in their last six matches should give them hope of shutting their opponents out in this crucial fixture. Trickily, though, Fiorentina’s away form has not been impressive lately. Fiorentina have won two and drawn three, but five defeats in that sequence throws questions on their ability when playing on the road. It was a painful loss in the final of last year for the Viola, who are now looking to make the most of it. They have played Atalanta in two matches already in the season, with both ending in a Fiorentina win.
