Match Analysis

Form Guide

Fiorentina — last 10 games: 5W 1D 4L, averaging 1.60 points per game. Last five: L L W L W. They are averaging 1.40 goals per game and conceding 1.00 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings (30%).

In front of their own supporters, Fiorentina have posted 6W 1D 3L from their last 10 home games — 1.90 PPG. At home they are averaging 1.50 goals scored and 1.00 conceded per game. 4 home clean sheets from their last 10 home games (40%) — a solid defensive base on their own ground.

Across their last 10 games, Atalanta have recorded 4W 4D 2L — 1.60 PPG. Last five: D W D W L. Their attacking form is sharp — 2.00 goals per game is a high-output rate that commands respect in the goals markets. Defensively, 0.80 goals conceded per game is elite-level — a side this difficult to score against is a real threat to Over 2.5 and BTTS Yes. 5 clean sheets from 10 games (50%) is an exceptional defensive record — they are keeping clean sheets more often than not.

Atalanta's form when playing away from home: 8W 2D 0L across their last 10 road games (2.60 PPG). They are averaging 2.60 goals per away game — strong road scoring that makes them a threat even without home support. 7 away clean sheets from their last 10 away games (70%) — they are hard to break down on the road. Away from home, both teams have scored in only 30% of games — a low rate that backs BTTS No when they travel. Their away PPG of 2.60 exceeds their overall 1.60 — they actually perform better on the road than their aggregate form implies.

There is minimal separation in the form figures — Fiorentina at 1.60 PPG versus Atalanta's 1.60. The form guide is not providing a strong directional steer; the model and market data will carry more weight in the final assessment.

Head to Head

The H2H picture is flat: the 6 H2H matches we hold have produced 3 wins for Fiorentina, 2 for Atalanta and 1 draw. Form and model data should carry more weight here.

The 6 H2H matches in our data have been high-scoring — 3.2 goals per game on average — which backs the Over 2.5 market from the head-to-head side. The most recent of those, on 15 Sep 2024, ended Fiorentina 2–3 Atalanta — a Atalanta win.

With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H signal is in the goals market — at 3.2 goals per game, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle from the head-to-head data.

In-Play Data

Fiorentina trading profile (last 67 games, 34 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 85% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 75% of the time; of the 27 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 26%; of the 21 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 33%; BTTS occurs in 59% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 68% of games (home games).

Atalanta trading profile (last 67 games, 34 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 79% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 73% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 53% of those occasions; of the 16 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 38%; BTTS occurs in 47% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 62% of games (away games); they keep a clean sheet 40% of the time.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Fiorentina 54% versus Atalanta 52%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Fiorentina 55% | Atalanta 63%). There is an in-play dynamic worth noting: Fiorentina surrender their half-time lead 26% of the time, while Atalanta have come from behind at the break to draw or win in 38% of cases — a combination that makes laying the hosts at HT a potential angle.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Fiorentina 0.93 xG and Atalanta 1.73 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Fiorentina attack 1.194 / defence 0.874 | Atalanta attack 1.670 / defence 0.605. League average goals — home 1.293 / away 1.185. Atalanta bring a tight defence (rating 0.605, below 1 = concedes less than average) — this is pulling Fiorentina's projected output down. Atalanta have an above-average attack rating of 1.670, which lifts their away xG to 1.73. Data: built from Fiorentina's last 67 games and Atalanta's last 67.

Result probabilities: Fiorentina 19% | Draw 26% | Atalanta 55%. Fair-value odds: Fiorentina 5.28 | Draw 3.82 | Atalanta 1.82. The model has a clear lean to Atalanta (55%) — a 29pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 50% | BTTS Yes probability 51% | Total xG 2.66. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 50%/50% — the total xG of 2.66 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS Yes at 51% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Summary & Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Atalanta at 55% — clear model lean. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 26% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.

The Poisson model projects 2.66 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 50% — low conviction — though the H2H data averaging 3.2 goals per game across 6 H2H matches points the other way.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 51% on Yes. This conflicts with form data — both teams scored in: Fiorentina 40% (last 10 home games) | Atalanta 30% (last 10 away games), a notable divergence.
