Lazio have been in really poor form lately and they are now win-less in their last six matches. They will now have a tough time returning to winning ways, as they will be hosted by the feisty Atalanta on Monday. Atalanta bounced back after two losses with a nice away win last week and will try to keep it up.

Atalanta (6-6-3) played a very good match on the road against Udinese last week, blasting them by 3-1. They took an early lead in that match, and even though they were equalized shortly after, Zapata completed a hat trick to give his team all three points. Atalanta had lost two in raw prior to that, buy those were the only losses in their last seven (5-2-0). Atalanta are now sitting at the 10th spot of the Serie A with 21 points, just as many as Roma and Parma. All three teams are four points behind Lazio and the 5th spot of the Serie A. Atalanta have been pretty mediocre at home so far in all competitions (4-3-2). However, they have only conceded five goals in that span.
Lazio (7-4-4) are coming into this match after a tough 2-1 loss at home against Frankfurt in the Europa League but it didn’t matter all that much, as Lazio had already qualified to the next round. But that was their sixth match without a win in all competitions (0-2-4). Even so, things have been slightly better in the league, where they are actually undefeated in their last five (1-0-4). Lazio are now sitting at the 5th spot of the league table with 25 points, just one behind AC Milan. They have been quite competitive on the road so far in the league (3-2-2), where they also have two losses and a draw in the Europa League. They have only failed to score in two of their ten away matches so far, but have only kept two clean sheets in the process.

Six of the last seven matches between the two featured goals from both sides, with Atalanta winning just once in that span (1-3-3). Looking at how these two teams have played against each other, there is a very good chance of seeing a lot of goals here.
