Competition: Serie A
Market: Both teams to score
Odds: 7/10 @ Pribet
In what is a heavyweight Serie A showdown on Saturday evening, Lazio will welcome Atalanta to the Stadio Olimpico.
Starting with the hosts, coming under a huge amount of scrutiny on December 16th as they fell to an infamous 6-0 drumming at the hands of historic rivals Inter Milan, Lazio claimed an immediate boost last weekend. Securing a 2-1 victory away at Leece, the Eagles will be desperate to prove that their Stadio Olimpico nightmare was nothing more than a minor blip. Embarking on a sensational Europa League romp this season and breezing their way to a quarter-final ticket, Marco Baroni’s men have won four of their previous five appearances across all competitions. Laying down a European marker earlier in the moth as they secured a 3-1 win away at Dutch icons Ajax, Lazio will now be seeking some much-welcomed defensive steel. Opening December with a 3-1 loss against Parma, Saturday’s hosts have recorded just a sole clean sheet from any of their last six outings across.
As for the visitors, making real history last season as they claimed a maiden piece of European silverware, Atalanta have continued on a real fairytale. Dragging themselves to a dramatic 3-2 victory at home against Empoli last week, La Dea opened Christmas Day leading the chase at the top of the Serie A table. Continuing to gain a string of plaudits from across the globe, Gian Piero Gasperini’s side find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high. Despite falling to an action-packed 3-2 loss against Spanish giants Real Madrid while in Champions League action earlier in the month, Saturday’s guests have won each of their 12 of their previous 13 appearances across all competitions. With that run stemming all the way back to October 23rd, Atalanta will travel to the Stadio Olimpico this weekend looking to collect another heavyweight scalp.
