Prediction: 1-0
Fiorentina
All eyes will be on Gewiss Stadium when Atalanta and Fiorentina face each other in the Serie A round 8. The Orobici aim to overtake Napoli in top position, and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at the Viola this weekend. Goalkeeper Juan Musso has joined Duvan Zapata and Berat Djimsiti in the treatment room, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
Fiorentina, on the other hand, proved their worth in a 2-0 home win over Verona, but given their anything but good away record in the 2022/2023 Serie A campaign, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the hosts. To make things even worse for the visiting side, important players Castrovilli, Milenkovic, and Amrabat are out of contention through injuries, as well as Dodo and Gollini.
Highlighted Player (Duvan Zapata):
Duvan Zapata was born in Cali, Colombia on 1 April, 1991. The 186-cm-tall attacker started his youth career at America de Cali, playing for the club between 2004 and 2008. In 2008 he made his debut for the first team and three years later he scored his first hat-trick for the Colombian outfit, in a 3-2 win over Deportivo Pereira.
In 2011 he signed a loan deal with Estudiantes and he found the net for the Argentine team on his debut against Belgrano. After scoring 11 goals in 37 appearances for Estudiantes, the Colombian striker joined Napoli in 2013, but he failed to establish himself as a first-choice attacker.
On 22 July, 2015 Zapata joined fellow Serie A team Udinese on loan and it has to be noted that he scored eight goals in 24 league appearances for the Zebrette. Duvan Zapata has 5 caps for Colombia U20 team, but he has yet to make his debut for the senior side.
Highlighted Team (Fiorentina):
