It is hard to pinpoint exactly why Atalanta have suffered such a big drop off in form this season, but their away form has certainly not helped matters.

Palladino's side have picked up just 25 points on the road, the ninth-best in Serie A, compared to the 33 at home.

Despite the contrasting records, Atalanta have lost just one of their last five away matches and will be confident of ending the 2025-26 campaign on a high when they travel to Fiorentina on the final day of the season.

With top six hopes now ruled out for Bologna, it looked like their only route into European football next season would be via the Europa League.

Vincenzo Italiano's side made it to the quarter-finals of the competition before meeting their fate against now finalists Aston Villa.

Unlike their opponents it has been their away form that kept their top six hopes alive for much of the season.

This will be the last time they can add to their impressive record on the road with the Red and Blues earning 31 points from 18 away games, with just three sides able to boast a better record.
