Atalanta vs Lazio Prediction & Betting Tips (4 February)

Eager to qualify for the next Champions League, Atalanta is meeting expectations for the moment. Indeed, Dea is currently 4th in Serie A and is, with 1 game less, 1 point ahead of 5th. Gian Piero Gasperini's men reported a certain irregularity during the first part of the season. On the other hand, they have been running at full speed for several weeks. Charles De Ketelaere's teammates have only lost to Bologna 1-0 in the last 7 days, for 5 wins and 1 draw. After taking a point at Roma 1-1, they had no trouble dominating Frosinone 5-0 and Udinese last weekend 2-0. Qualified for the last four of the Italian Cup, Atalanta will also be present in the round of 16 of the Europa League. 2nd in Serie A during the previous financial year, Lazio logically had great ambitions this season.

Unfortunately, Maurizio Sarri's protégés completely missed their start to the championship. They showed a clear recovery in form afterwards, which allows them to appear today in 7th place in Serie A with 2 small points behind their opponent of the day. Qualification for the next Champions League is therefore once again within reach. After having aligned 4 victories in a row Empoli, Frosinone, Udinese and Lecce, the Biancocelesti were slowed down last weekend, by Napoli at home 0-0. In the Italian Cup, they will be present in the semi-finals following their victory against Roma 1-0. 2nd in its Champions League group, Lazio will be condemned to the feat against Bayern Munich in the round of 16.

Atalanta still has to make the very important Dutch midfielder Koopmeiners (5 goals and 3 assists in SA) and the defender who arrived this winter Hien, who were already absent last weekend. In addition, author of a double to qualify Nigeria for the quarter-final of the CAN, the starting striker Lookman (7 goals and 3 assists in SA) is obviously absent. During the last day, the offensive trio composed of Miranchuk (2 goals and 2 assists in SA), Scamacca (6 goals and 2 assists in SA) and De Ketelaere (3 goals and 6 assists in SA) was particularly prominent and should be renewed. Note that central defender Hien, injured this weekend, arrived from Hellas Verona this winter. Lazio must still do without the defender used sparingly Patric, injured. In addition, starting midfielder Cataldi is suspended following an accumulation of yellow cards.

On the other hand, the offensive sector finds the executives Zaccagni (3 goals in SA) and Immobile (4 goals in SA) who have both finished serving their suspension. They should form the attacking trio this weekend with winger Felipe Anderson (2 goals and 6 assists in SA). Very solid these days, the Biancocelesti have only conceded 2 goals in the last 5 days. The winter transfer window did not disrupt the existing squad. Only the midfielder passed by Bordeaux Basic, almost unused this season, was loaned to Salernitana.
