Lazio – Atalanta, Serie A Prediction

This is Lazio’s great chance for the top 4. Of course, they have to rely on failures from Milan and especially Roma, but if they do not win here, their personal chances for the top 4 will be almost zero. The eagles themselves have struggled with the hesitating results against teams from which they had to make easy victories in recent weeks. Atalanta are not very fresh, because they have played quite a lot of games lately, so Lazio has to take advantage.

For Atalanta, it is not certain that a draw would be a very positive result, given the fact that it is likely to be back in fourth place, and this at this stage of the season is often fatal. So even if they start cautiously and defensively against Lazio, which is not unreasonable, at some point they will look for goals.

This match will precede the Coppa Italia final. Perhaps the stakes are no less here. Both teams are ready and will be looking for victory. Atalanta managed to get a zero draw against Inter, for example, but in this game we will hardly see a few goals. With these attacks and the hesitant defenses of both teams, they will inevitably score at least one goal. Lazio have not scored a goal as host in just one match in the league until Atalanta has scored 4 times as a guest in Serie A. Prediction – BTTS at 1.60.

Lazio have only 1 clean sheet in the last 6 games

8 of the last 11 games of Atalanta are BTTS
