Lazio v Atalanta
📅
Kick Off: Saturday 28th December at 19:45
🏆
Competition: Serie A
In a huge Serie A clash, league-leaders Atalanta travel to Rome to face off with Lazio who currently sit in 4th place, 6 points shy of La Dea.
⭐ Lazio v Atalanta Best Bet
Atalanta have been Serie A’s most productive attacking side this season, leading the league with 42 goals. Their matches have consistently been high-scoring affairs, averaging 3.59 goals per game – the joint-highest in the division.
Lazio’s games tell a similar story, ranking 4th in the league for goals per match, with an average of 3.29. Importantly, 14 of their 17 Serie A fixtures have produced at least 3 goals.
The history between these two sides suggests more of the same, 8 of their last 11 encounters have seen 3 or more goals scored.
🟢 Lazio v Atalanta #WhatOddsPaddy Tip
Atalanta and Lazio’s fixtures rank 1st and 4th respectively for goals produced, with Atalanta’s aggressive philosophy tending to cause both chaos and goals, their two areas of expertise.
Lazio have racked up the 4th most corners in the league, averaging 5.59 alone per game meanwhile Atalanta rank 7th with a still impressive average of 5.00 per 90.
There also seems to be value in the cards market, especially when looking at Lazio’s record, with no team surpassing the 41 cards they’ve picked up – an average of 2.41 per game. Atalanta average 1.82 cards and the referee has awarded a career average of 4.73 cards.

🔍 Lazio v Atalanta Players to Watch
🔵 Sead Kolasincac
Kolasinac’s average of 1.90 fouls committed per 90 alone tells you enough about the value of this selection and the bookies seem to have overpriced it following two blanks in simple clashes with Empoli and Cagliari.
With the exception of those two anomalies, this selection has won in all other league matches, totalling 9 across the season.
