Atalanta - Lazio predictions

Atalanta are expected to win here, but we can’t call such betting predictions completely foolproof. Lazio may surprise us yet, and even a tie game seems a decent possibility from where we’re standing.

Lazio appear severely unprepared for a clash with Atalanta, to the point of being considered hard underdogs. We would consider even a draw a success, so the long 3.78 odds for an away win bit seem fitting.

Atalanta pushed the home advantage hard in their previous outing against Udinese , securing a decisive 2:0 victory. While the home win was somewhat predictable, they’ve shown more than able to keep up the pace from start to finish.

The away team failed to leverage the home-field advantage of their previous Serie A game and win the bout, finishing 0:0 after a drawn-out stalemate. A draw was indeed one of the more likely scenarios, but their home supporters were hoping that they would be able to snag 3 points.

With 5 goals over the previous 3 matches, Atalanta attackers are nothing to be scoffed at. If the trend continues, we’ll see some rather impressive records from then by the end of the season.

If there’s any consistency to be found in the recent match history of The Biancocelesti, it’s that the games tend to be rather uneventful. The latest two ended up with fewer than 2 goals on the score board.

The hosts are number 4th in the standings as we enter round 23. With just 18 points needed to catch up to the table leaders and plenty of time to earn them, they’ll be highly motivated to win this difficult matchup.

The visitors will be playing at a disadvantage this Sunday, so it’s not likely that they’ll climb up the table to get to a Europa League qualification any time soon. There’s still close to half the season ahead of them, though, so they’ll have plenty of chances either way.

Though the odds are clearly in the hosts’ favour, the head-to-head history for this Serie A clash tells a different story. Atalanta lost the last time these two teams met on the pitch, so an upset is definitely possible.

Our advice is to go for an Under 2.5 Goals market, though it was likely not your first instinct. While the probability is rather low compared to what you’re used to from Under 2.5 bets, it compares favourably to the 1.75 odds offered by 888Sport.
