Atalanta vs Lazio Odds & Preview
Top Four Ramifications on Sunday

Atalanta Rounding into Form
Atalanta enter the weekend on a six-game unbeaten run, in all competitions. La Dea entered the Serie A top four with a win over Udinese last weekend. Now, Atalanta host Lazio on Sunday in one of the weekend’s best matches.
Should Lazio win, they’ll leapfrog Atalanta in the standings, which makes this a crucial match for both sides. We’ll preview the Atalanta vs Lazio odds as both sides go for all three points.
Atalanta vs Lazio: Head-to-Head
In an entertaining match back in October, Lazio defeated Atalanta 3-2 at the Stadio Olimpico. Matias Vecino scored an 83rd-minute winner for Lazio, who led 2-0 at one point but blew their lead.
The Atalanta vs Lazio odds listed the Biancocelesti as +190 pregame underdogs. Lazio have lost just one of their last six Serie A matches vs. Atalanta. In the last ten meetings, Atalanta leads the series 4-3, with three draws.
De Ketelaere Excelling With Atalanta
Atalanta has shrugged off a so-so start to the season and played excellent football lately. They’ve outscored their opponents 7-0 over their last two matches and took down Udinese 2-0 last Saturday.
Charles De Ketelaere provided assists for Aleksei Miranchuk and Gianluca Scamacca in what was a comfortable win. De Ketelaere is one of only three players in Serie A with at least seven goals and seven assists this season, in all competitions.
Gian Piero Gasperini has needed the on-loan AC Milan man to step up over the last few weeks with Ademola Lookman at the Africa Cup of Nations. The Belgian currently ranks third in the Serie A team stats, with six league assists. With three wins from their last four, Atalanta are now in fourth place in the Serie A table, and they destroyed Frosinone 5-0 just a couple of weeks ago.
Emil Holm has also stepped up recently, making the right wing his own. Atalanta also have a decent shot to win their first-ever major trophy, as they’ve advanced to April’s Coppa Italia Semifinal.
Overall, La Dea haven’t lost in any of their last six matches and they have two wins over AC Milan in the previous two months. Still, they’ll be missing Lookman and Teun Koopmeiners on Sunday. Gianluca Scamacca was on target last weekend for the first time since November, and he may be needed once again vs. Lazio.
Lazio Improving on Defense
Although Lazio did lose 3-0 to Inter Milan in the recent Supercoppa Italiana Semifinal, they are on a five-game unbeaten run in Serie A.
On Sunday, Lazio couldn’t find a breakthrough but did manage to hold Napoli to a scoreless draw. In one of the most incredible disallowed goals we’re likely to see, Lazio’s Valentin Castellanos finished a bicycle kick over Napoli’s Pierluigi Gollini. However, it was offside, and Lazio couldn’t capitalize on their other opportunities.
Prior to the Napoli match, the Biancocelesti were on a four-game Serie A winning streak. They’ve been an improved pick for soccer betting recently and have certainly tightened up on defense.
Lazio have conceded just three goals in their last five Serie A games. No Lazio player has scored five or more Serie A goals this season, but they’ve been able to pick up results with increasing consistency.
In 21 matches, goalkeeper Ivan Provedel has kept eight clean sheets, which ranks fourth in the league. Felipe Anderson has also been a key attacking piece, with six assists this season. A win could mean Lazio finishes the weekend in the Champions League places, and that’s all the motivation they’ll need for this one.
Atalanta vs Lazio Analysis & Odds
Atalanta haven’t won any of their last three home Serie A matches vs. Lazio. However, the Atalanta vs Lazio odds do price La Dea as even-money favorites for this one. Atalanta is flying at the moment and holds an 8-1-2 record in Serie A at Gewiss Stadium this season.
The 25 points they’ve amassed through their first 11 home games match their record for most home points per game through this point of the season.
Lazio come in at +280 odds to win this one and their matches have typically been quite low-scoring this season. It’s not a major shock that under 2.5 goals sit at -150 odds for this one. A draw sits at +240 odds, and that’d almost certainly mean Atalanta finish the weekend in fourth place.
With the form he’s in, bettors may want to consider De Ketelaere as an anytime goalscorer at +300 odds. Lazio is only 4-1-5 away from home in Serie A thus far, but Lazio +0.5 does show -120 odds here. Notably, Lazio hasn’t defeated a top-half team in Serie A since October.
