Lazio vs Atalanta | Prediction, Betting Tips & Odds
Much attention has been given to the race for the title in Serie A, as Juventus and Napoli battle it out for first place.
However, there is plenty to get excited about just below these two clubs as teams lock horns to secure a place in the Champions League and Europa League next season. One of the biggest matches of the weekend sees Lazio welcome Atalanta to the Stadio Olimpico.
Match Preview
Lazio start the match in 4th place on 70 points, the same number as bitter rivals Roma. They are 4 points clear of 5th place Inter Milan and know a win would allow them to keep that cushion inside the top four.
Atalanta start the weekend in 6th place, just 1 point clear of AC Milan. A win in this game will keep them in the final Europa League spot but any other result could see AC Milan move above them in the table.
Lazio Form
Lazio defeated Torino 1-0 away from home last weekend and this was good enough to keep them inside the top four. It was their third Serie A win in succession and Lazio have remained undefeated in their last 8 league games.
Lazio have been difficult to beat in recent weeks and have lost just 1 of their last 12 matches in all competitions and that came at Salzburg in the Europa League. They have not lost any of their last 4 home league matches but have been held twice, against Roma and Bologna, the latter of which was a disappointing result.
Lazio have a good record over Atalanta, winning 6 of their last 7 meetings at the Stadio Olimpico.
Atalanta Form
Atalanta travel to the Italian capital in good form having won each of their last 3 Serie A games and this has given them a great chance of Europa League football next season. They have defeated Genoa and Torino at home and Benevento away from home.
This match is going to be a tougher test than any of those games but Atalanta have proved themselves away from home in Serie A and have won 7 of their last 10. There have been good 2-0 wins over AC Milan and Roma, so playing at the Stadio Olimpico against a top four team will hold no fear for Atalanta.
Atalanta have scored in 10 of their last 11 away Serie A games.
Team News
The big news for Lazio is the absence of top scorer Ciro Immobile, who is injured. The striker could miss the rest of the season and is joined on the treatment table by Stefan Radu and Marco Parolo. Atalanta will be without the suspended Mattia Caldara and his place in defence will go to Jose Luis Palomino. With no injury concerns, Atalanta will be close to full strength for this game.
Lazio vs Atalanta Top Betting Tip: “Sergej Malinkovic-Savic to score at any time”
Lazio start this match as the bookies favourites but with Atalanta in such good form away from home, it is difficult to ignore them and they could take something from the match. The draw is 5/2 with Ladbrokes.
With Atalanta scoring at least once in 10 of their last 11 away games, they will expect to get on the scoresheet in this game and that makes the draw and both teams to score a tempting bet at 16/5 with William Hill.
Finally, with Immobile injured, Lazio will be looking elsewhere for goals and Sergej Malinkovic-Savic has 11 to his name this season, making second joint top goal scorer at the club. The Serb is 8/5 at Ladbrokes to score at any time.
