Fiorentina have kept one foot in the last four of Europe’s third tier football competition courtesy of goals from Arthur Cabral, Nicolas Gonzalez, Giacomo Bonaventura and Jonathan Ikone at Stadio Mijeski Poznan on Thursday. When it comes to the Italian top flight, Vincenzo Italian’s side are in remarkable form, having recorded five wins and two draws from their last seven league-matches. Their latest top flight success came away to Inter Milan at the start of this month, thanks to Bonaventura’s lone goal early in the second half. After that, Italiano’s side defeated Cremonese 2-0 in the first leg of their Copa Italia semi-final tie, before sharing the spoils against Spezia in the Serie A. With a relatively favourable fixture list in front of them, Fiorentina will be optimistic about pushing as hard as possible with just 12 points separating them to fourth spot.
Atalanta, on the other hand, suffered a surprise 2-0 defeat against Bologna in their last outing, courtesy of second-half efforts from Nicola Sansone and Riccardo Orsolini. It was their ninth ninth league-defeat of the season. Nevertheless, the Black and Blues have won 14 league-games this term and their latest triumph came away to Cremonese (3-1) at the start of April, thanks to Marten de Roon’s opener on the stroke of half-time, Jeremie Boga’s 72nd-minute effort and Ademola Lookman’s strike three minutes into the injury time. Meanwhile, Gian Piero Gasperini’s side have been pretty good on their travels, recording eight wins from 15 league-games on the road this season.
Fiorentina probable starting lineup: Terracciano, Dodo, Martinez, Milenkovic, Biraghi, Castrovilli, Mandragora, Gonzalez, Bonaventura, Brekalo, Cabral
Atalanta probable starting lineup: Musso, Djimsiti, Palomino, Scalvini, Maehle, De Roon, Ederson, Zappacosta, Boga, Hojlund, Lookman
