Over 2.5 Goals & BTTS
At least three goals have been scored and both teams have found the back of the net in each of the last two meetings between Atalanta and Spezia, with Atalanta claiming a 5-2 win when the pair locked horns earlier in the season. Four of Spezia's last six fixtures have witnessed over 2,5 goals and have produced goals at both ends of the pitch, while the same can be said for four of Atalanta's last six outings.
Pašalic to Score
Atalanta's top scorer this season is Croatia's Pašalic with 12 goals in Serie A alone and we're backing the midfielder to score against Spezia this weekend. Pašalic is enjoying his highest-ever scoring season in the league, surpassing the 11-goals he netted in the 2013/14 season for Hajduk Split and has found the back of the net in each of his last three league games for Atalanta.

Atalanta looking to keep pressure on the top three with a win over Spezia
Despite taking the lead on three separate occasions at home to Lazio last time out, Spezia ended up losing the game 4-3. Amian put the home side in front after 9-minutes and although Lazio equalised in the 33rd-minute, a goal from Agudelo saw Spezia lead 2-1 at the interval. An own goal from Provedel made it 2-2 in the 54th-minute but 2-minutes later, Hristov put Spezia back in front. Lazio went on to equalise and then win the game late on to the despair of the home fans.
Spezia Predicted Lineup: Provedel, Nikolaou, Amian, Hristov, Kiwior, Reca, Maggiore, Agudelo, Gyasi, Manaj & Verde
Atalanta were the big favourites to beat Salernitana at home on Monday night but fell behind in the 27th-minute. The game appeared to be slipping away from the hosts until 2-minutes from time when in-form Pasalic equalised to spare Atalanta's blushes. Atalanta sit 8th in the Serie A table heading into this weekend's latest round of fixtures but could move back into the top six with a win on Sunday.
Atalanta Predicted Lineup: Musso, Palomino, Zappacosta, Hateboer, Demiral, Scalvini, de Roon, Freuler, Boga, Zapata & Muriel
