The Italian Serie A returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Atalanta and Lazio go head-to-head on Sunday.
With just two points separating both sides in a race for a top-four finish, we anticipate a thrilling contest ensuing at the Gewiss Stadium.
Atalanta continue to push for Champions League qualification as they picked up a 2-0 home victory over Udinese last Saturday.
Gian Piero Gasperini’s men have won four games on the bounce and are unbeaten in their last seven matches across all competitions, claiming six wins and one draw since a 1-0 loss against Bologna on December 23.
Atalanta now return home, where they are currently on a run of seven consecutive victories and they will be looking to keep the juggernaut rolling.
Elsewhere, Lazio failed to return to winning ways as they were held to a goalless draw by Napoli at the Stadio Olimpico last Sunday.
This followed a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Inter Milan in the Supercoppa Italiana semi-finals on January 19 which saw their five-game winning streak come to an end.
With 34 points from 21 matches, Lazio are currently sixth in the Serie A table, two points and two places below Sunday’s hosts.
