The Winged Lions are also winless in their last 11 matches at home in Serie A having recorded eight defeats and three draws at the Stadio Pierluigi Penzo.
 
"The performance of the players was good, but to beat these teams you have to do something extra. In the second half we created something, but we struggle to score," Venezia manager Paolo Zanetti said after their defeat to Fiorentina.
 
"Today there was an important technical difference and we make a sacrifice in the game. Fiorentina played well, they put anyone under the radar and have done so for large parts even today. However, we have shown that we are alive and we need to think about the next match. 
 
"The situation is difficult. Right now we see everything black because no results are coming, but we must be good at bouncing back."

Atalanta have lost two of their last three away matches in Serie A, while the other game ended in a win over Bologna FC on the road. 
 
The last meeting between Venezia and Atalanta in the league was on 30 January 2022.
 
Atalanta secured a 4-0 win over Venezia in a match that was played at Gewiss Stadium which is also known as Stadio di Bergamo.
