Atalanta form and stats

The story so far in the Serie A for Atalanta, who have the most scored goals (70) in Serie A, at their home stadium (KKWing Stadium) is 6 wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats.

It's back home for Atalanta, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Lecce away with the result 7-2. Josip Iličić, Duván Zapata (3), Luis Muriel and Ruslan Malinovskyi found the net in that victory. Before that, Atalanta had a Champions League home game versus Valencia which ended with a victory 4-1.

As indicated by the result mentioned above, Atalanta played a great game against Lecce and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one. What a game it was for Duván Zapata when beating Lecce, applying the finishing touch to three goals!

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Atalanta have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found seven games) they have won three times, drawn two and lost two.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Atalanta as they are travelling to their away game against Valencia in the Champions League. That match is three days after this one.

Atalanta are an "over 2,5 goals" team alone here at KKWing Stadium in their league games, having scored an impressive 33 goals in 12 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Atalanta defense is not exactly impregnable. 19 goals conceded from 12 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Lazio form and stats

Lazio's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Lazio, who have the the best goal difference (+37) in Serie A, collect 26 points from their 12 away matches in the Serie A. 8 victories and 2 draws have created these points (and only 2 defeats). In general it has been a productive period now for Lazio as they haven't lost any of their last 21 games. Lazio are enjoying a nice run from their away games now, having played nine in a row without losing.

Joaquín Correa and Luis Alberto scored in Lazio's previous match, the home game against Bologna that ended 2-0. Before that one, a nice away victory 3-2 at Genoa.

Lazio are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, zero draws and four defeats. From a total of five matches.

Lazio are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 21 times in 12 away games so far. 13 goals have been conceded by Lazio in these games.
