Atalanta hosts side Lazio on Wednesday, as they battle for a place in the Coppa Italia semi-finals.
Gian Piero Gasperini called the 3-0 win over Milan ‘one of our best performances since I’ve been’ on the Atalanta bench, but won’t start Scudetto talk. La Dea beat Milan 5-0 in Bergamo just over a year ago and it was a similarly dominant performance at San Siro, winning 3-0 with Cristian Romero’s header, a Josip Ilicic penalty, and Duvan Zapata strike. “Ilicic had a great game, although there were some situations where he is capable of doing better. Everyone had a great game,” the coach told the media. “After the game with Liverpool, which was horrible conceding five goals at home, we learned and made the changes we needed to. We press the opponents much more, which allows us to protect the defense, and we’ve been doing that for several weeks now.”
Atalanta famously steps on the gas in the second half of the season, getting more points than anyone in the last two campaigns. “We want to keep going, stay in the region of that top four because we finished third for two years running and I think we can do that again. It’ll be very difficult, as Inter, Roma, Napoli, Milan have all been reinforced. If you want to make me talk about the Scudetto, then you will fail! We’d talk about it in 25-26 rounds. I think we’ll have a better idea of what’s going on then. It’s going to be very open this season and we cannot shoulder the obligation of victory. We want to win, of course, but it’s not expected.”
Gian Piero Gasperini is expected to reduce rotation this close to the trophy so striker Luis Muriel, goalkeeper Marco Sportiello and new signing Joakim Maehle are considered most likely to come into a settled first XI - for Duvan Zapata, Pierluigi Gollini, and Hans Hateboer. Midfielder Mario Pasalic remains unavailable due to injury, but otherwise, Atalanta has a fully fit squad for the next match.
Atalanta: Sportiello; Toloi, Romero, Djimsiti; Maehle, De Roon, Freuler, Gosens; Pessina, Ilicic; Muriel
Simone Inzaghi explained several Lazio players are on pain-killers after the 2-1 win over Sassuolo and revealed his new contract is ‘ready to sign.’ This was the Aquile’s fifth consecutive victory between Serie A and the Coppa Italia, as Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and Ciro Immobile completed the comeback from a Francesco Caputo opener. “Sassuolo is a very strong team, who play really good football and let’s not forget we played in the Coppa Italia not even three days ago, so it was tough,” Inzaghi told media. “It’s the fifth consecutive victory, we are happy, and even though again we were in an emergency with injuries, I have wonderful lads who push past every obstacle.”
That run of wins includes the 3-0 domination of local rivals Roma. “We all know what the derby means here in Rome. We were very happy, but 48 hours later already had to prepare for the Coppa Italia tie with Parma. It’s going to be a busy one again next week, facing Atalanta in both Serie A and the Coppa Italia. That’s what this whole season is like, the fixture list is packed.” Inzaghi was asked if, during this packed fixture list, he will also find time to sign his Lazio contract extension. “I saw the President yesterday, he told me the contract is ready, so I am waiting to sign.”
Lazio has several injury issues in the attack, as Joaquin Correa had been out for a month before making his comeback last week and star striker Ciro Immobile is unable to train consistently due to an ankle injury. Coach Simone Inzaghi confirmed that both Immobile and fellow forward Felipe Caicedo played with pain-killing injections on Sunday, so Vedat Muriqi could be in line for a call-up. Influential midfielder Luis Alberto is currently recovering from appendicitis, while Luiz Felipe and Danilo Cataldi are longer-term absentees.
Lazio: Reina; Patric, Hoedt, Acerbi; Lazzari, Milinkovic-Savic, Escalante, Pereira, Lulic; Correa, Immobile

These teams will play two games in a few days but both matches are very important, one is to be a step closer to the possible trophy, second for better chances to play in the UEFA Champions League in the next season. Regarding recent performances and H2H, both teams to score is the most reasonable betting option.

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
