Today's Top Two Predictions for Lazio vs Atalanta
Lazio sit four places and 7pts behind Atalanta in the Serie A table and really need to make the most of their home advantage this weekend in order to close the gap on some of their European competitors. Atalanta can't move any higher than their current placing of 4th this weekend but could reduce the gap between themselves and Napoli to just 1pt with a win against Lazio.

Over 2.5 Goals
This is a fixture that so often produces goals and we're expecting more of the same on Saturday. Over 2.5 goals have been scored in each of the last six meetings between these two clubs in league and cup. Five of Lazio's last six matches have also witnessed at least three goals being scored, while two of Atalanta's last four league games have produced over 4.5 goals (4-1 defeat to Roma & 6-2 win over Udinese).
Immobile to Score
Immobile has been in fantastic form for Lazio this season, netting 17-goals in Serie A, just three of which have arrived in the form of penalties, and we're backing the Italian international to score against Atalanta on Saturday. Immobile was used as a sub in the midweek cup win over Udinese in which he scored the only goal of the game in stoppage-time so you can see why we're backing him to score this weekend.

Can Lazio make up ground on the rest of the European hopefuls this weekend?
Lazio's last outing in Serie A saw them make the trip to struggling Salernitana where a goal in the 7th-minute from Immobile set the tone of the game for Lazio. The Italian frontman netted again in the 10th-minute to put Lazio 2-0 up at the break and in the second half, Lazzari added a third in the 66th-minute to wrap up a comfortable 3-0 victory. Lazio need to improve their consistency if they want to secure European football this season but they are still in the Coppa Italia and that could be their saving grace.
Lazio Predicted Lineup: Strakosha, Hysaj, Patric, Marušić, Felipe, Alberto, Zaccagni, Cataldi, Milinković-Savić, Pedro & Immobile
Atalanta welcomed the league leaders Inter Milan last weekend and the two sides managed to cancel one another out as the game ended goalless. In the end, it was a decent point for Atalanta who are more likely to challenge for the Champions League places than the actual title itself this season but they are just 8[ts behind Inter and there are plenty of games left to play.
Atalanta Predicted Lineup: Musso, Palomino, Djimsiti, Demiral, Pezzella, de Roon, Freuler, Pašalić, Pessina, Koopmeiners & Muriel
