Quotes
“It is always difficult to come here and play well," Atalanta manager Gian Piero Gasperini said after his side's draw with Juventus.
"They had a thousand reasons to want to win and lock down the Champions League place, so seeing our mentality in this situation was really pleasing. We had the space to go on the counter and add another goal, but Juventus were also pressing us hard.
"What disappoints me is it’s not the first time we conceded two goals in quick succession. We threw it away against Bologna like that, at least we got a point this time, but we need to be more careful.”
Head-to-Head
Fiorentina beat Atalanta 3-2 in their last meeting in Serie A which was on 17 September 2023 at the Stadio Artemio Franchi.
As a result, Viola are unbeaten in their last two matches in the league against the Goddess having registered one win and one draw.
