Serie A 2024-2025: Fiorentina-Atalanta, the likely lineups

Fiorentina-Atalanta, which has become a great classic of Italian soccer in recent years with frequent challenges even in the Coppa Italia, is one of the central matches of the 30th day of Serie A. At the Artemio Franchi stadium, with kickoff whistle at 3 p.m., the Viola, who after their great success over Juventus want to get back in the running for the Europe that counts, and a Dea side that after the scorching knockout in Bergamo against Inter must restart to keep the Scudetto dream alive.

Raffaele Palladino, against his mentor Gian Piero Gasperini, presents a tactical approach very similar to that of the experienced coach from Piedmont. Fiorentina therefore with a three-man defense, in which Marì will partner Pongracic and Ranieri. On the flanks ready on the right Dodò and on the left the feared former Robin Gosens, with Fagioli, Cataldi and Mandragora completing the crowded purple midfield. Up front, the inspired Kean and Gudmundsson.

Atalanta once again with a short blanket especially in defense: forced choices for Gasperini, with Djimsiti, Hien and Kolasinac. Heavy in the midfield is the absence of Ederson, replaced by Pasalic. On the flanks Bellanova and Zappacosta, with Ruggeri still on the bench. In attack recovered Retegui, who could, however, enter the game in progress: with De Ketelaere and Lookman could then be Brescianini.

Probable lineups:

Fiorentina (3-5-2): De Gea; Pongracic, Marì, Ranieri; Dodò, Fagioli, Cataldi, Mandragora, Gosens; Gudmundsson, Kean. All. Palladino

.

Atalanta (3-4-2-1): Carnesecchi; Djimsiti, Hien, Kolasinac; Bellanova, De Roon, Pasalic, Zappacosta; Brescianini, Lookman; De Ketelaere. All. Gasperini.
