Lazio entertain fourth-placed Atalanta at the Stadio Olimpico in their upcoming Serie A fixture on Saturday.
Lazio and Atalanta are two of the highest-scoring sides in the Italian top-flight this season, so we might be in for a treat here. They played out a 2-2 draw in the reverse fixture earlier this season, so both sides will be gunning for a victory in this game.
The hosts returned to winning ways with a comfortable 3-0 win over Salernitana in their previous outing. Atalanta earned a hard-fought point against league leaders Inter Milan as their game ended in a goalless draw.

- Thanks to five wins in their last nine games against I Biancocelesti, Atalanta have taken a 39-37 lead in wins.

Lazio vs Atalanta Prediction
Lazio have scored at least three goals in seven of their 10 home games this season and secured a comprehensive 3-1 win over reigning champions Inter Milan back in October.
Atalanta are unbeaten in their travels this season and demolished Udinese 6-2 in their previous away game. It is clear that both sides' strength lies in the final third but La Dea also boast a good defensive record, having conceded only 26 goals so far.
The game is expected to be a high-scoring one, and given Atalanta's impressive away record (unbeaten in the last 17 away games), a win for the visiting side looks the likely outcome here.
Prediction: Lazio 2-3 Atalanta.
