Our Tipsters Angle

Both teams know that anything other than a win is disastrous to their league season goals. They are both in a weak position and can’t afford to slip up, which would give their competitors room to push them of their position or make it hard to achieve their goals.

Even though Atalanta is placed higher up the Serie A table than Lazio, the teams have been of almost equal strength if their last recent games are checked.

Here are our tips for this match:

Tip 1:  Over 2.5 Goals

Recently, Atalanta hasn’t scored as many goals as they are known to do. They have had two 0-0 draws and a 2-0 win in their last 5 games. However, this looks like a short stint as they have also lost by 4-1 and won by 2-6 in their last 5 games in Serie A.

Lazio, on their part, hasn’t stepped the foot of the gas in terms of goals. They have been winning, drawing, and losing with over 2.5 goals in their last 5 games. Also, checking their H2H against Atalanta, all 5 of their previous games have been over 2.5 goals.

At the Casumo Bookie, Both Teams to Score is available at .1.50 odds.

Tip 2:  Both Teams to Score

Both teams need this win, which makes the match look more attack-minded for both teams. Atalanta is known for their attacking prowess, while Lazio has shown this season that they can play a high-tempo attacking game.

Atalanta and Lazio have something in common: a leaky defense. Even though Atalanta was more cautious against Inter Milan, we expect them to go all out in this game.

Also, their last 5 games against Lazio have seen both teams scoring, and this match bet option is available at the Casumo Sportsbook for 1.41 odds.

Conclusion
