Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Lazio and Atalanta take on each other at Stadio Olimpico in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Sunday’s program. The Biancocelesti suffered a 2-0 loss to Milan at Stadio San Siro at the weekend, but they have regained a much-needed confidence thanks to a 2-1 win over Celtic in the Champions League. Pedro should be recalled to the starting XI after scoring the winner at Celtic Park, whereas Maurizio Sarri has no fresh injury worries ahead of the visit of Atalanta.
The Orobici, on the other hand, have been impressive at the back of late, with the team eyeing their fourth consecutive cleans sheet in the Italian top flight. As Lazio managed to keep a clean sheet in their last home game in the Serie A, a low-scoring affair is on the cards. Both Gianluca Scamacca and El Bilal Toure are sidelined with injuries, speaking of the visiting team.
