Fiorentina host in-form Atalanta at the Franchi
Fiorentina welcome Atalanta to the Stadio Artemio Franchi for a Serie A matchday 9 fixture, with both sides looking to arrest uneven recent spells. The hosts have won once and lost three times in their last five league outings, while Atalanta have taken two wins from their past five, a slightly better return across the same stretch.
Recent head-to-heads
The two sides have shared the spoils regularly in recent seasons. Their most recent meeting, in May 2026, ended 1-1, continuing a pattern of tight contests. Atalanta won the previous encounter in November 2025 by two goals to nil, having also triumphed 3-2 away at Fiorentina in September 2024. Fiorentina, for their part, have had their own moments of success, winning 1-0 in March 2025 and 3-2 away at Atalanta in June 2024.
What's at stake
With Fiorentina having lost three of their last five and Atalanta edging the head-to-head on recent form, the matchday 9 clash offers both sides a chance to build some momentum. A positive result at home would be valuable for Fiorentina after a difficult run, while Atalanta will look to continue the upward trend shown by their two wins in the past five matches.
