Serie A, played Saturday, December 28th, 2024
Here is our Lazio v Atalanta tip and game preview. Based on our detailed analysis of statistics listed below and other factors, we predicted both teams to score in this game, over 2.5 goals, and a tie. Our confidence in this pick was moderate relative to other picks.
Lazio will be seeking back-to-back wins in the Italian top flight on Saturday night following their recent 2-1 win away from home at Lecce but the hosts could have their work cut out when they entertain the Serie A leaders, Atalanta, at the Stadio Olimpico despite Lazio moving up into the top four pack in the domestic top flight table.
Atalanta secured an impressive 11th league win on the trot before Christmas when the league leaders registered a 3-2 home win against Empoli which in turn helped the visitors to a two-point cushion over second placed Napoli.
Recent results have seen Lazio record wins against Napoli and Lecce but the upcoming hosts have also slipped to heavy defeats at the hands of Parma 3-1 and Inter Milan 6-0, the latter being a comprehensive defeat on home soil at their Stadio Olimpico.
Goals have certainly featured whenever Lazio have been involved in the Serie A so far in this campaign as 14 out of Lazio's 17 matches to date have resulted in Over 2.5 goals and this trend look set to continue here on Saturday against an attacking Atalanta side.
In addition, eight out of Lazio's last 10 home games in Serie A have produced three goals or more.
Atalanta will be going in search of a 12th league win on the trot in the Italian top flight when they make their way to the Stadio Olimpico on Saturday night with the visitors heading into this upcoming clash on the back of an entertaining and high-scoring 3-2 home win against Empoli.
Five of Atalanta's 11 wins have been registered on their travels as Gian Piero Gasperini's side have collected important wins at Venezia, Napoli, Parma, Roma and Cagliari respectively which have helped the visitors to the top of the Serie A table and they will certainly be keen to maintain their position by taking all three points at the Stadio Olimpico.
Atalanta have put together a 12-match unbeaten run overall in the domestic top flight which consists of 11 wins and a draw, and the visitors look set to at least hit the back of the net in this encounter as Gian Piero Gasperini's side have scored in each of their last 14 league matches as well.
On the subject of goals, 12 out of Atalanta's 17 matches to date this season have resulted in Over 2.5 goals being scored, so the visitors also look in good shape to contribute to the goal-tally here at the Stadio Olimpico on Saturday night.
