Lazio to Win or Draw
There is a 55% chance that Lazio will win this match as they won six of their 11 away matches. A draw meanwhile has a 27% probability to realize and two of the last three h2h meetings ended in a stalemate.
Over 2 Goals
In Lazio’s 82% of home games, there were over 1.5 goals scored. Atalanta’s 73% of away matches also produced two or more goals. In addition, two of the last 12 h2h meetings saw over 1.5 strikes.
Lazio 0 Goal Handicap
Playing at the Stadio Olimpico, Lazio covered the 0 goal handicap in nine of their 11 outings, winning six and drawing three games. Atalanta meanwhile failed against the handicap in five of their 11 away games.
Lazio
Lazio failed to overtake their city rivals AS Roma after drawing with Verona 1-1 in the previous round. The Biancocelste were leading by a goal but couldn’t hold on and dropped two crucial points. As a result, Lazio remained fourth with 39 points.
Maurizio Sarri must be frustrated with his defense who have conceded 39.5% more goals in their last eight matches than they have during the season. To be more precise, the Biancocelste let in 1.13 goals per game in the last eight rounds.
Atalanta
After a five-match unbeaten run, Atalanta suffered their first defeat at the hands of Sassuolo on the road 1-0. It was a tough match for La Dea as they were a man down after 30 minutes with Maehle’s dismissal. A second sending off of Muriel in the dying seconds showed Atalanata’s frustration after failing to cope with Sassuolo’s pressure.
Gasperini’s men have been poor defensively in the last eight rounds conceding an average of 1.75 goals per game as opposed to their season’s average of 1.14. La Dea made up for in attack, however, netting 2.50 goals per game in the same period.
This is one of the anticipated fixtures in Serie A in recent years as both teams are always challenging for top four positions. Lazio are undefeated in their last four home games winning two and drawing two and we predict they can maintain that form at the Olimpico come Saturday.
Lazio have scored at least a goal in their last five home games while Atalanta have no clean sheets in their previous five trips in Serie A. Lazio are averaging 1.91 goals scored per home game and with odds of 1.42 at 1xBet, we predict Lazio to score over one goal.
Ciro Immobile was Serie A’s top scorer last season but the Italian international had some injuries this term and played 13 games. Still, the 32-year-old managed to score seven goals and is always the favorite according to the bookies to score in any game he plays.
Maehle and Muriel are suspended for Atalanta while Palomino and Zappacosta are unavailable due to injuries.
On Lazio’s side, Stefan Daniel Radu is out till late February with a muscle injury.
Lazio: Provedel; Lazzari, Casale, Romagnoli, Marusic; Milinkovic-Savic, Cataldi, Luis Alberto; Anderson, Immobile, Zaccagni;
