A place in the 2023-24 Coppa Italia final will be on the line on Wednesday when Atalanta and Fiorentina square off at the Gewiss Stadium.
Having suffered a 1-0 first-leg defeat on April 3, Gian Piero Gasperini’s men will head into the game seeking to overturn their one-goal deficit as they continue their quest for a second cup title (Atalanta won in 1962-63).
Atalanta moved within one point of the Champions League qualification places at the weekend when they edged out Monza 2-1 in their Ligue 1 clash at the U-Power Stadium.
Before that, Gasperini’s side booked their spot in the semi-final of the Europa League as they stunned Liverpool 3-1 on aggregate despite a 1-0 loss to the English side in last Thursday’s return leg.
Atalanta now turn their attention to the Coppa Italia, where they brushed aside Sassuolo and AC Milan in the opening two rounds before losing 1-0 to Fiorentina in the first leg of their semi-finals on April 3.
Fiorentina, meanwhile, continued their late push for European football as they picked up a comfortable 2-0 victory over Salernitana at the weekend.
This followed a 2-0 victory over Viktoria Plzen in the second leg of their UEFA Europa Conference League quarter-final clash — a result which saw them progress to the semi-finals with a 2-0 aggregate win.
Fiorentina are currently ninth in the Italian Serie A standings with 47 points from 32 matches, five points adrift of seventh-placed Lazio in the Conference League qualification spot.
