Fiorentina vs. Atalanta: Crucial points at stake in midweek finale

The midweek round concludes at the Franchi, where Fiorentina and Atalanta face off with three vital points at stake. Despite leading for much of their match against Inter at San Siro, Fiorentina suffered a third consecutive defeat and will be determined to turn their fortunes around on home soil. Maurizio Sarri's Atalanta, meanwhile, have won just once in their last six matches, against Venezia. Following a dramatic home draw with Frosinone, they will be eager to get back to winning ways and avoid losing further ground in the race for European qualification.
