Fiorentina boss Vincenzo Italiano is at a loss to explain his shot-shy side’s lack of goals after going down 1-0 to Atalanta.
La Viola face Hearts in Europa Conference League action on Thursday in the first part of a key Group A double header. The Jambos currently sit in second place after a defeat to Istanbul Basaksehir and a win over RFS. The Italians were also defeated by the Turks after a shock 1-1 home draw against the Latvian champions on matchday one.
That result has opened up the possibility for Robbie Neilson ’s men to try and snatch second place and a spot in the knock-out rounds. They welcome the Florence-based outfit to the capital before heading to Italy seven days later, and the outcome of those two encounters could go a long way to determining which of the two progress, with RFS expected to bring up the rear and Basaksehir clear favourites to top the group.
