Expert Analysis and Prediction

While Lazio has been the slightly better team this season, they are also playing their first match since the coronavirus break and they could be rusty from a lack of competition. With Atalanta already having played one game after the break, they should be firing on close to all cylinders in this one. I like the Over three total goals first and foremost and I believe it’s going to come in a flat-out thriller of a draw!
