The pick of the matches in Serie A this weekend will see Atalanta head to the Stadio Olimipco to take on an in-form Lazio side on Saturday, in a match that may prove decisive in the Champions League qualification race this season. Lazio is currently in fourth place in the league, with 39 points in 21 matches, and just one point above their opponents. They are also just one point behind Roma in third and four off Inter Milan in second. After playing out a 1-1 draw to Hellas Verona in their last match, Lazio extended their recent unbeaten run to five matches, which includes two wins and three draws. Their home form this season has been impressive, recording six wins, two losses, and three draws in their 11 matches at Stadio Olimipco. They are also on a run of four matches unbeaten at home coming into this match. Lazio has avoided defeat in this fixture in the last four meetings and will fancy extending that record in front of their home fans in this one.

Atalanta currently occupies the first Europa League qualification spot, sitting in fifth place, just one point behind Lazio and the Champions League spots. After a run of five matches without defeat, including three wins and two draws, their run came to end in the last match, where they suffered a 1-0 defeat to Sassuolo after being reduced to 10 men in the first half. That loss was only their second in eleven away matches this season, where they have a very good record, including six wins and three draws. Atalanta has been full of goals this season, putting away the third-highest total in the league with 39. They will have their work cut out for them but could get a result if they manage to put their chances away.
