Fiorentina host Atalanta at the Stadio Artemio Franchi on Sunday night in a round 30 Serie A clash.
La Viola are 14th in the table, eight points clear of the relegation zone. Atalanta, meanwhile, are in a fight for the UEFA Champions League spots, with 58 points enough for fourth place.
Fiorentina come into this game on a run of one win in their last six fixtures. La Viola threw away a 2-1 lead to lose 2-3 to AC Milan before the international break.
Beppe Iachini's first game back as manager proved difficult. The Viola went down to 10 men against Genoa last week, but held out for a 1-1 draw away from home.
