Asian Handicap Odds for Lazio vs Atalanta: 1.96*-0.25*1.88
In the Coppa Italia, Lazio is showing a completely different, resilient side compared to their decline in Serie A. Coach Maurizio Sarri’s team narrowly escaped elimination by defeating reigning champions Bologna on penalties in a dramatic shootout to reach the semi-finals. However, their 10th place in the domestic league and poor form with only one win in their last five matches are evidence of the “Super Eagles'” instability. In particular, their home form is a major weakness, having lost 3 out of their last 5 matches at the Olimpico. The loss of key players like Zaccagni and Pedro due to injury casts serious doubt on Lazio’s ability to create upsets in a knockout match.
In contrast to the home team’s inconsistency, Atalanta is showing signs of becoming a new “cup king” in Italy. Coach Raffaele Palladino’s team recently caused a sensation by coming from behind to beat Dortmund 4-3 on aggregate to advance to the Champions League round of 16. In the Coppa Italia, they also demonstrated absolute dominance by crushing Juventus 3-0 in the quarter-finals. Currently sitting 7th in Serie A and boasting a devastating run of form with 4 wins in their last 5 matches, Atalanta is brimming with confidence. Their away form is also extremely impressive, with frequent victories at difficult venues, most notably the 2-0 win at Lazio’s Olimpico stadium less than three weeks ago. With a seasoned and in-form squad, Atalanta clearly has the advantage in both psychology and strength.
The head-to-head history in cup matches also favors the Bergamo team. Given Lazio’s severe personnel crisis with a long list of injured players from defense to attack, facing a high-spirited Atalanta is an overwhelming challenge. The -0.25 handicap is a very attractive rate to bet on the visitors’ ability in this first leg. BettingOnlineNow betting experts believe Atalanta will win the bet.
Prediction: Atalanta
Over/Under odds for Lazio vs Atalanta: 1.83*2.25*1.99
This match is predicted to be a tight and calculated game, especially given the nature of a Coppa Italia semi-final first leg. Despite their poor form, Lazio will strive for maximum defensive effort to avoid conceding more goals at home, especially since their attack is missing its most impactful players. Meanwhile, Atalanta, despite scoring well, will also be cautious to maintain their advantage for the second leg. Statistics show that the last two matches between the two teams both ended with under 2.5 goals (0-2 and 0-0). With the over/under line at 2.25, a low-scoring match is highly likely.
Prediction: Under 2.5 goals
First Half Betting Odds Lazio vs Atalanta: 1.69*-0.25*2.23
With their current high spirits and confidence, Atalanta usually have a habit of starting proactively and imposing their style of play from the beginning. Lazio, on the other hand, often starts slowly and reveals weaknesses in the early stages of the match, as evidenced by their 0-2 loss against this same opponent, where they conceded an early goal. Atalanta are highly likely to take the lead within the first 45 minutes against a makeshift Lazio defense.
Pick: Atalanta
