As part of the 18th day of Serie A, the Lazio – Atalanta meeting. I offer you my prediction for this exclusive fight, if you have the chance to see some spectacular football.
Match Preview
Lazio continues its objective of securing a place in the top 4 of Serie A. Currently fourth in the standings, the Romans remain three points ahead of Fiorentina, who have a game in hand.
On the last day, the Biancocelesti snatched a difficult victory on the Lecce pitch (2-1). The decisive goal came in the 87th minute, despite a numerical superiority throughout the second half. At the same time, Lazio shines in the Europa League with 16 points in six games, which allows them to dominate the general ranking. In the Italian Cup, the team also managed to reach the quarter-finals.
For its part, Atalanta is having an impressive season and occupies first place in Serie A. The Bergamasques remain two points ahead of their closest pursuer, with Inter, three lengths behind, but with a match in less.
The team led by Gian Piero Gasperini is in exceptional form, stringing together a run of 11 consecutive league victories. During its last outing, Atalanta narrowly beat Empoli at home (3-2), with a decisive goal scored at the end of the match. In the Champions League, the team is firmly established in the qualification zone, occupying 13th place in the general ranking. The Bergamasques are also in the running for the Italian Cup, where they reached the quarter-finals.
The confrontations between these two teams are often very competitive. Last season, they shared successes at home: Lazio won 3-2, while Atalanta responded with a 3-1 victory.
Prognosis
Bookmakers initially gave equal odds to both teams. Currently, Atalanta are slight favorites, with odds of around 2.4 for a victory for the visitors. Lazio, for its part, is rated a little above 3.0. The predictions indicate a prolific match in terms of goals, a hypothesis that I share. I therefore recommend a bet on the total over 2.5 goals with odds around 1.84.
