Atalanta v Lazio Preview and Prediction

Date/Time: 17^th December 2018 (Kick-off 7:30 PM)

On Monday night, Atalanta host Lazio in Serie A, as the home side attempts to return to the top six in the Italian top-flight.

Atalanta are currently seventh place in the table, just one place and one point outside the European spots. Lazio are fifth in the table, just four points above the home side from Bergamo.

Atalanta’s recent league form has been inconsistent, as the home side have won three and lost two of their last five league outings. A 3-1 win at Udinese last time out ended a two-game losing streak in the Italian top-flight.

The home side’s recent league games have been high scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in their last seven Serie A matches. Both teams have also scored in their last six league games.

Lazio heads into this potentially tough clash on the back of four consecutive draws in Serie A, and one win in six games in the Italian top-flight. Last time out in Serie A, Simone Inzaghi’s team drew 2-2 against Sampdoria.

Although the home side’s recent games in Serie A have not been that high scoring, both teams have scored in their last five outings in the Italian top-flight.

Inzaghi’s team have lost just one of their last six away games in Serie A, as their recent away form has been inconsistent.
