Fiorentina do not carry any kind of winning form on the road either which is a big consideration to weigh up.
Fiorentina have landed one victory in their last nine away games in all competitions (90 minutes).
During that spell, they haven’t put a clean sheet on the board.
In fact, Fiorentina have conceded at least two goals in four of their last six road games.
They do look as if they can threaten the scoreboard having hit the back of the net in all but one of their last six on the road.
But can they do enough to land another road in Atlanta?
