Match Prediction: Atalanta vs. Lazio
Atalanta tends to play assertively at home and rarely fails to score. In their last seven home Serie A matches, Atalanta has found the net, scoring at least twice in four instances. However, they often make defensive errors, failing to keep a clean sheet in 8 of their last 9 home league games.
Lazio also favors an attacking approach, even on the road. In their last 12 away Serie A matches, they failed to score only four times, and in six matches during this period, Lazio scored at least twice. Notably, Lazio has scored against Atalanta in all six of their previous encounters in Bergamo.
Expecting both teams to score in this match, my prediction: Both teams to score – yes
