Reeling squad Atalanta BC (7-10-8, 29 points) is scheduled to meet third-running team ACF Fiorentina (15-6-4, 49 points) for a 2015-2016 Serie A season match on Sunday, Feb. 21st at their home field of Stadio Atleti Azzurri d'Italia in Bergamo, Italy.
Atalanta is currently on a 10-game winless slide as the team has not won any game in the domestic league so far this year. Their last victory was on Dec. 6th of last year, a 3-0 decision over Palermo also at their home stadium.
La Dea's most recent match is a 0-0 draw on the road with lowly squad UC Sampdoria at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris in Genoa last Sunday, as per SkySports.
The tie is Atalanta's fifth in its last six outings, which is somehow better than garnering all losses as they still earned a point for each drawn match.
Edy Reja's squad is now at the no. 13 spot of the league table, seven points away from bottom three relegation.
Meanwhile, Fiorentina pulled off a hard-fought 2-1 win over another top contending squad, Inter Milan, at the Stadio Artemio Franchi also last Sunday, as reported by Goal.
The game featured three red cards, sending off three players from the field. Inter's Alex Telles and Geoffrey Kondogbia were expelled from the match at the 82nd and 90th+7 minutes while substitute striker Mauro Zarate from Viola's side was sent off at the 90th+5 minute.
I Nerazzurri midfielder Marcelo Brozovic opened the scoring at the 26th minute to give the visitors the early lead.
Paulo Sosa's boys were not able to level the count until the hour mark of the match courtesy of a close range header from vice-captain Borja Valero.
The game was tight from there until Alex was sent off eight minutes before full time, putting Inter into a one-man disadvantage. Viola striker Khouma Babacar netted the winner one minute into injury time before two more red cards were thrown.
I Gigliati is currently on a five-game unbeaten streak as they move up to the third spot in the league table, eight and seven points clear off league leaders Juventus and Napoli.
The predicted result is a 3-0 romp for Fiorentina.
Atalanta starting lineup (4-3-3 formation): Sportiello; Conti, Toloi, Masiello, Drame; Kurtic, de Roon, Freuler; Diamanti, Pinilla, Gomez
Fiorentina starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): Tatarusanu; Roncaglia, Gonzalo, Astori, Alonso; Vecino, Valero; Tello, Ilicic, Bernarderschi; Kalinic
