Prediction
Atalanta 2, Lazio 2
Moneyline (ML)
Atalanta (+110) will look to protect its home turf and pick up a signature win against Lazio (+230), a team sitting second overall in the Serie A table with 62 points and a sparkling plus-37 goal differential. But that goal diff is just second in Serie A, as the best mark belongs to Atalanta at plus-39. Both of these teams have high-powered offense, none better than Atalanta, which paces the league with 74 goals. Lazio will be able to pierce Atalanta’s defense – and goalkeeper – which has been a little suspect for a top club, allowing 35 goals. Lazio, on the other hand, has allowed just 23. Look for both of these teams to play a very spirited draw, each coming away with a point to show for their efforts. That was the result of their most recent meeting on Oct. 19 in Roma, as Lazio hosted in a 3-3 tie. DRAW (+270) IS THE BEST BET.
A winning $10 wager on Atalanta and Lazio settling for a draw nets a profit of $27.
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 3.5 (+130) is a value play, as each of these teams are offensive juggernauts. While Lazio’s defense might make it tough on the hosts, Atalanta should still be able to bag at least two goals. Three of the past six meetings between these two have seen at least four goals, and Atalanta has hit the back of the net at least twice in six consecutive Serie A matches.
