It’s time for the semi-finals in the Coppa Italia, as Fiorentina and Atalanta battle it out. The first leg of this tie will be played at the Stadio Artemio Franchi on Wednesday. The winner of this two-legged tie will go on to face the winners of Juventus vs. Lazio in the final. Last year's Coppa Italia losing finalist, Fiorentina, is coming off a 2-1 loss to AC Milan in the Serie A competition, where they are in tenth place. With European qualification spots looking like a difficult bargain in the league, Fiorentina would also target qualification from the Coppa Italia, as the winner is guaranteed a place in the Europa League group stage. The hosts have been consistent with their results lately, with both teams scoring goals in their last five away games.

Atalanta are currently in a top-five chase in Serie A, as they remain two behind fifth-placed Roma with a game in hand. While that keeps them busy on the league front, Atalanta have also been successful in Europe, with a Europa League quarterfinal against Liverpool coming up. The visitors are likely to be stretched to their limits because the games are coming thick and fast, but they won’t like to give Fiorentina a free pass in this competition. Atalanta defeated Napoli 3-0 in their last game, making it two wins and draws each. It is the away form that has kept La Dea guessing, at least on the results front. They have won just one of their last five away matches, drawing three and losing once. With Atalanta scoring regularly away from home too, there aren’t many questions over their ability to find the net in this fixture.
