Atalanta vs Lazio Preview

Atalanta head into this Coppa Italia final in a fine run of form and also believing that they can lift the trophy ahead of their more inconsistent opponent.

Atalanta have won their last 5 games in all competitions, scoring 11 times and continuously proving that they can beat just about anybody on their day.

The teams they have beaten in that run of form include Napoli, Fiorentina, Genoa, and Lazio.

They may concede goals regularly but they score even more so they hardly have to worry about those they let in.

Lazio have been inconsistent for much of this season but they come here after beating Cagliari at the weekend.

They have won 3 of their last 4 games and their only loss in that period of time came at home against this Atlanta side, so their fans should be worried.

Lazio’s main man, Ciro Immobile has been in a poor run of form in front of goal and that has seen them struggle overall to get the goals necessary.

Atlanta may have beaten Lazio twice already this season, but Cup matches usually don’t rely on league statistics so expect this game to be a competitive and exciting contest.

Bookmakers have priced Lazio up as very slight favourites to come out on top in this game however the odds are extremely close and trickle of money prior to kick off would see Atalanta start the game as favourites.

Goal markets point to a lively game as over 2.5 goals is currently trading odds-on while Ciro Immobile and Duvan Zapata head the first goalscorer market.
