Lazio vs. Atalanta

An early-season rivalry game in the Italian Serie A League. Uptempo Atalanta loves to attack on offense, topping Torino in the opener, 4-2. But that attacking style comes at a cost defensively, allowing at least one goal in each of their last five road games (seven goals in all). They face a talented Lazio squad that tied Atalanta in points last season (78 in 38 matches), both finishing in the Top 4. Lazio is on a 4-0-1 run outscoring opponents 7-3, as well as a 4-0-2 run at home beating visitors 10-5. Lazio is the better defensive team, has home field, and has scored seven goals in the last three meetings on Atalanta. Play Lazio on the moneyline.
