It was the last home match of last season, it will be the first home match of this tournament.
In between, however, Atalanta and Fiorentina played 3 rounds of Serie A 2024-2025, collecting the same points.
In the last five years of the championship, Atalanta-Fiorentina has been a match in almost perfect balance: 2 wins each and 1 match ended in a draw. The only difference is in the goal count: 9-7 for the Nerazzurri.
And we don’t get out of this stalemate even if we take into consideration the matches in the fourth round of Serie A: in 2019-2020 it was 2-2 (own goals by Palomino, Ribery, Ilicic, Castagne); in 2013-2014 there was a 0-2 (Mati Fernandez and Rossi); in 1971-1972 it ended 3-1 (Moro on penalty, Doldi, Magistrelli, Scala).
In short, 1 win each plus 1 draw.
That’s not all.
Because, if we look for an Atalanta-Fiorentina played exactly on September 15th… here we find the 2-2 (a brace by Inzaghi, Oliveira and Batistuta) dated 1996-1997.
Overall, including the second division, 65 matches have been played at the home of the Orobic team: 22 wins for Atalanta, 26 draws, 17 successes for Fiorentina.
We close by pointing out that in the last 5 Serie A precedents, 3 penalties have been awarded, all in the 2021-2022 clash (Vlahovic’s brace and Zapata’s goal).
Standings situation.
Atalanta with 3 points (1W – 0D – 2P with 5GF and 6GS), all achieved in the away match in Lecce. Fiorentina is also at 3 (0W – 3D – 0P with 3GF and 3GS), of which 1 achieved away from Franchi (0W – 1D – 0P with 1GF and 1GS).
With a draw or a win the Goddess would cut a double milestone, because it is at 2,399 points in Serie A (693W plus 691X) and 1,499 points at home (467W plus 370X).
