Fiorentina suffered another painful setback on Sunday, surrendering a late lead against defending champions Inter Milan.
Paolo Vanoli’s men were still ahead in the 90th minute before conceding twice in stoppage time to suffer their third consecutive defeat.
They have now gone four matches without a victory, drawing once and losing three times, leaving them in the relegation zone after eight rounds.
Worryingly, this is the second consecutive season in which La Viola have managed just four points at this stage of the campaign.
Their prospects of an immediate revival appear uncertain, particularly given their struggles at the Stadio Artemio Franchi.
They have not won a league match since April, recording four draws and three defeats in that period.
Meanwhile, Atalanta are also searching for a much-needed turnaround after being involved in a remarkable 4-4 draw with Frosinone on Sunday.
That result extended their winless streak across all competitions to three matches, leaving them languishing in the bottom half of the standings.
Maurizio Sarri’s side have managed just one victory in their last six Serie A outings, alongside one draw and four defeats.
Their current away form remains a major concern, with four consecutive defeats on their travels across all competitions leaving them under pressure to deliver a response in Florence.
