Prediction published on 21/06/2020, 16:21  by Steve Ashfield | Modified on 21/06/2020 at 17:21 in Serie A Prediction

Atalanta had a 4-1 home win over Sassuolo on Sunday and are fourth in Serie A. They host Lazio who are second in the table and haven't lost in their last 21 league games. The home side occupy the final Champions League qualification position and lead fifth placed Roma by six points. Those four goals on Sunday mean Atalanta now have 74 in Serie A this season. That's 14 more than any other side and it's Lazio in second place with 60 of their own. Atalanta have scored 11 goals in their last two league fixtures and will make life very difficult for Lazio. Home form has seen Atalanta win seven out of 13 league games with seven points from the last three. 22 of their 26 league games have had over 2.5 goals scored in them and all but one of their 13 home games.

Lazio resume their season dreaming of winning the Serie A title for the first time since the 1999-2000 season. It would be only their third title (the other success being in 1973-74) but they are a side that have been in fantastic form. Their last 20 league games have produced 52 points and 16 of the last 18 have been won. They are on an unbeaten league run of 21 games but this is going to be a tough test of their title credentials. Away form is good though with eight wins out of 12 in Serie A this season. They are unbeaten in their last nine winning seven of them. You have to go back to September for their last away league defeat. Eight of their last ten away league games have had over 2.5 goals scored. Both teams have scored in all but one of the last nine. This is a game being played between two teams that score on a regular basis, so go for over 2.5 goals in this match.
