Stadio Artemio Franchi
Selection · Normal time
Atalanta · Draw no betFiorentina are in the relegation places after eight matches, while Atalanta have shown much greater attacking output, including four goals against Frosinone. Atalanta draw-no-bet is preferred to a straight away win because their defending has also been unstable.

Our view
No selectionNo selection before the team sheets. This is a knockout tie, with the same clubs scheduled to meet again in the league on 2 November; the cup lineup and approach cannot safely be carried into the rematch.
We are not recommending a betting market for this fixture.

From the pitch to the pick
Form tells part of the story. Team news, the venue and the way two sides match up matter too. Read the football case, then make up your own mind.
The standard behind every pick
Match briefings separate the football evidence, our judgement and the case against the pick. Source links let you check the facts.
Our editorial approachEarly views are labelled and matches without a selection stay visible. Uncertainty is part of football; no pick is a guaranteed result.

Meet ChukwuemekaThe matchday community
“I used to check 3 or 4 different prediction sites before placing my bets. After some time I realised most of them were basically giving the same obvious games. The Nigerian Blogger was different. I started finding picks here that I wasn’t seeing elsewhere, and some of them turned into really good wins for me. Now I still do my own checking, but this is normally the first place I look.”
“I’ve tried quite a few football prediction sites over the years and most were very inconsistent. The predictions here have honestly been much better for me. I don’t follow every single pick, but the strongest selections have been really good and I’ve had some very successful weekends using them.”
“What helped me most was learning not to bet on everything. I check the predictions, look for 2 or 3 picks I really like and concentrate on those. I’ve had much better results doing it this way than when I used to put 8 or 10 matches together.”
These are individual experiences, not a prediction track record or a promise of returns. Every football selection can lose.
