Betting on Lazio
Despite two consecutive draws, Lazio has now gone five games unbeaten in Serie A and remains firmly in the European race.
With 39 points after 21 games played, the Romans would be playing in the Champions League next year, as they are in fourth place in the standings. However, nothing is set in stone, as their rival is only one point behind them.
For this game, Lazio’s calling card will be being the fifth-best team in the tournament playing at home, something they have achieved after registering 21 points in 11 matches.
At home, they are the fifth club with the most goals scored (21) and the sixth with the fewest goals conceded (10). In addition, they have not lost at home for four games and have only lost twice at the Stadio Olimpico.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Ivan Provedel; Elseid Hysaj, Nicolo Casale, Alessio Romagnoli, Adam Marusic; Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Danilo Cataldi, Luis Alberto; Felipe Anderson, Pedro, Ciro Immobile.
Betting on Atalanta
Atalanta put an end to a five-game unbeaten streak last week after losing away to Sassuolo. That result relegated them to fifth place in the standings with 38 points; however, they are only five points behind Inter in second place and one point behind Lazio in the Champions League place.
Against Sassuolo, Gian Piero Gasperini’s men also put an end to a string of seven games in which they scored at least two goals in Serie A, a record that explains why they are the third-highest scoring club in the championship with 39 goals.
Atalanta also has another trump card for this Saturday’s game: their great away performance. Last week, they lost for the second time as visitors, and, in the championship, they are the second-best team on the road with 21 points in 11 games. Their 18 goals in this condition are the third-highest number, while they are the fifth-best defense with only 11 goals conceded.
Probable lineup (3-4-2-1): Juan Musso; Giorgio Scalvini, Berat Djimsiti, Rafael Toloi; Ederson, Matteo Ruggeri, Marten de Roon, Hans Hateboer; Teun Koopmeiners; Ademola Lookman; Rasmus Højlund.
JefeBet Prediction
The duel between Lazio and Atalanta could be one of the most evenly matched of the season, given the performances of both teams throughout the tournament. Both are good on offense, but they are also among the best teams defensively. Lazio performs excellently at home, but Atalanta is not afraid to play on the road.
It is worth remembering that this year they have already met on matchday 11: it was a 0-2 victory for Lazio. Although the under has been covered in their last two meetings, the score has never been less than four goals in their previous six meetings.
Prediction: Both teams score (LAZ 2 – ATA 2).
