| Both sides have only one chance for a title this season and this is without a doubt the Italian cup. Incidentally, the two teams could actually still face each other in the final. Atalanta should be perfectly suited to letting Lazio dictate the game and then ruthlessly counter-attacking them at the Stadio Olimpico. A similar tactic worked wonderfully against Juventus recently. The bookies see the guests as slight favourites as the odds for an away win are around 2.10. Given their position in the table, Lazio need to dictate the game and close the gap on Atalanta to the 7th position. The new signing of the guests Giacomo Raspadori is by no means comparable to Lookman, as perhaps he is even better when the team counter-attack. Only two of the last 14 competitive matches of the hosts were decided by more than one goal difference. Maurizio Sarri's team almost without exception offers extremely close matches. |
