2702
There’s a treat in store for Wednesday evening in Serie A when 4th placed Atalanta play host to 2nd placed Lazio with both teams looking for the three points in order to strengthen their claims for a top four finish, and in Lazio’s case, a possible Serie A title.
It was business as usual for Atalanta as they resumed their Italian top flight campaign with a resounding 4-1 victory at home over Sassuolo, which not only racked up a fourth straight win for Wednesday’s hosts but also increased their goal tally from their last four matches in Serie A to an impressive 15 goals.
2-1 wins against Fiorentina (away) and Roma (home) were the precursor to a 7-2 thrashing of Lecce on the road before they dismantled Sassuolo, and further goals look likely in this upcoming clash against a similar free-scoring Lazio outfit on Wednesday night.
Indeed, 12 of Atalanta’s 13 matches at home to date this season have produced three goals or more, and with the likes of Ilicic (15 goals), Muriel (13 goals) and Zapata (7 goals) in their ranks, goals could continue to flow in this clash too.
Onto Lazio, and as mentioned earlier, the visitors have emerged as slightly surprising contenders to Juventus for the Serie A title as their four-match winning streak has lifted them up into 2nd spot and just one point behind The Old Lady heading into these midweek fixtures.
Important victories over Parma, Inter Milan, Genoa and Bologna have thrust Lazio into contention for the league title and with an impressive 21-match unbeaten sequence under their belts, the visitors will also fancy their chances of turning over Atalanta at their Gewiss Stadium in this encounter too.
Lazio’s form on their travels has also been impressive as the visitors have collected seven wins from their last eight outings on the road while scoring a total of 15 goals in the process.
In fact, goals have never been very far away where Lazio are concerned as 9 of their 12 away matches have also produced over 2.5 goals so far this season.
With greater prizes on offer for both Atalanta and Lazio, both teams are expected to push forward as they seek to extend their respective impressive sequence of results and this could lead to further goals here at decent odds.
