Atalanta is indeed a strong club, but last season, their performance was not consistent enough. But this season, they have changed quite a bit. And even, Mateo Retegui is the top scorer in Serie A and Lookman is also in the top 4.
By having two players on list of top scorers, Rettegui and Lookman, Atalanta have very good attacking power and it's main contributor for their success in Serie A so far. The top scorer list of the league shows another thing, it's time for a new generation of players in Serie A, Rettegui, Thuram, Kean, Lookman and Castellanos, they are all players of a new generation and they are making a new chapter for Serie A.
Exackt, we need to admit that Atalanta's performance is indeed that good. and moreover, their attack level this season is very strong, the effectiveness and accuracy of the goals are high. Let's see, Atalanta has scored 42 goals in Serie A alone, competing with Inter who also has 42 goals. This indicates that their front line is very strong and effective. Then on the other hand, their conceding rate is not too bad, they conceded 19 goals, this may be their homework to further improve their back line. but it should be strong enough and reasonable.
Here is the odds for the Lazio - Atalanta game on this week.
Predicting this match won't be easy at all for anyone and there's a chance for each team to win this match and both teams need to win this match however for Atalanta this is going to be a more important game because they are racing with Napoli and if they lose any points, Napoli is ready to take their place in the Serie A table. Other than this Lazio should try to reach Inter Milan and that's why if they get the full three points in this match it can be helpful for them.
If we look at the condition and performance of Lazio and Atalanta lately, I am quite sure that Atalanta can beat Lazio as long as they don't get a red card in the field. In the last few matches, Lazio was slaughtered by Inter heavily with 0 - 6 goals, they looked very helpless in front of Inter Milan. and here, they must have learned a lot, but I am also sure that Atalanta will not let them lose to Lazio. This will be a tight match.
