Atalanta hosts Lazio in round 20 of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Sunday, January 31st at Gewiss Stadium (Bergamo)
Atalanta is showing good football again. The Goddess continues to fight for the national cup. The team managed to eliminate just Lazio on January 27. And we can safely note the role played by the East European legionnaires. Malinovsky and Miranchuk scored goals one after another. And they did it at the right time - the Ukrainian helped turn the tide at a time when his club was losing with a 1-2 score. And the Russian not only brought victory but did it when Atalanta remained in the minority after Palomino picked up a red card. That 3-2 score had to be defended for over half an hour. Eventually, the result was saved. But how much strength is left, and will cup success affect the game in Serie A? After all, things had just begun to improve - after two draws in a row, Atalanta managed to hammer Milan with a 0:3 score.

Lazio can now focus on the local championship. The Eagles played in the majority from the 52nd minute and not only did not put the squeeze on the opponent but also conceded the decisive goal. With all the compliments for Gasperini and his team, it was a clear misfire in the performance of guests from Rome. But now they will be able to focus only on Serie A. After all, Simone Inzaghi's charges have been doing very well in the championship in recent weeks. Having tied with Genoa, the Eagles managed to beat Fiorentina and Parma and hammered AS Roma in the derby (3:0). After that, Lazio extended the streak with a comeback 2-1 victory over Sassuolo. Four wins in a row (before that the team won six times in 15 matches Calcio) helped to climb in the European Cup zone. Moreover, the gap to Roma and Atalanta also decreased, and in the event of victory in the upcoming match, the Eagles will be able to outrank the Goddess in the standings.
The cup victory was the 3rd in a row for Atalanta in head-to-head meetings. In the last nine games, Lazio was able to gain only one victory but did at the optimal moment - in the 2019 Italian Cup final. Perhaps the teams won’t manage to repeat the scoring of Wednesday's match. Nevertheless, there should be a lot of goals again.
Prediction for the match: Over 3.0 goals scored
