Not since 1963 have Atalanta won the Italian Cup and their last appearance in the final was 23 years ago. They have a good chance of making it to this year's final and it's already been a special competition for them this season. 8.Last time they reached the final, they beat Juventus on the way and the team they lost to was Fiorentina who they meet in this 2018/19 semi-final. The first leg of this tie was played way back at the end of February and ended in a 3-3 draw. Atalanta will be kicking themselves for not winning that game having led 2-0 after 18 minutes and 3-2 with 11 minutes to go. Their current form has seen them unbeaten in their last eight games and at home, the side, who are sixth in Serie A and still in with a chance of qualifying for the Champions League, have only one loss in the last ten. That run includes a 3-1 home win over Fiorentina last month.

Fiorentina are 11th in Serie A and the Italian Cup represents their only chance of making it into the Europa League next season. They are on a terrible run at present with no wins in their last ten league and cup games. The weekend saw them lose 2-1 at Juventus despite taking a sixth minute lead. On their travels, Fiorentina have lost three of their last four games, conceding at least twice in all of them. Go for Atalanta to win this game and reach their first Italian cup final since 1996.
