Atalanta Bergame – Lazio Rome : A place in the final is on the line in Bergamo 
Wednesday night brings a big one, and it has all the signs of being a thriller. Atalanta Bergame host Lazio Rome to decide who meets Inter or Como in the Italian Cup final. After a lively first leg that ended level in the heart of the capital, nothing has been settled. With Atalanta Bergame looking to rescue their season and Lazio Rome still chasing a route into Europe, this one should be fierce.
Atalanta Bergame are desperate to lift the trophy at last 
There is no denying Atalanta Bergame have unfinished business in this competition. The side are still smarting after a painful European exit and know this cup is their last real shot at glory. Last weekend’s draw with Roma showed their defence can hold firm, but they will need far more bite on Wednesday.
Backed by their own fans, Atalanta Bergame are usually a nightmare to face. Coach Palladino has even called it their biggest game of the year. The target is obvious: come out flying from the first whistle. If Atalanta Bergame can boss midfield, they should book their place in the final. Their supporters are waiting for a statement win to put recent league misery behind them.
Lazio Rome have everything riding on one night 
In Rome, things have hardly been smooth. Lazio Rome sit in a disappointing ninth place in the league and their hopes of European qualification are fading fast. That makes winning the cup the outright priority now. Maurizio Sarri’s men arrive in decent spirits, though, after their recent scalp at Napoli. Lazio Rome have shown they can punch above their weight when they play without fear.
The task is a tough one, because Lazio Rome have struggled on recent trips to Lombardy. Even so, recent history between these two suggests they know how to get the job done in finals against this opponent. To make it through, Lazio Rome will need to stay compact and take whatever chances fall their way on the break. Their senior players will have to keep their heads in what is bound to be a hostile atmosphere. A place in the final would rescue what has been a flat, underwhelming campaign.
Probable lineups
Atalanta Bergame : Carnesecchi ; Scalvini, Djimsiti, Kolasinac ; Zappacosta, De Roon, Ederson, Bernasconi ; De Ketelaere, Zalewski ; Krstovic
Lazio Rome : Motta ; Lazzari, Romagnoli, Gila, Tavares ; Basic, Cataldi, Taylor ; Cancellieri, Noslin, Zaccagni
Football Prediction Atalanta Bergame vs Lazio Rome
Both teams to score
This second leg between Atalanta Bergame and Lazio Rome should serve up something very similar to the first meeting.
Both sides need a goal to stay safe and both have enough attacking quality to find one. Atalanta Bergame are formidable at home, but Lazio Rome are improving and can go into this without any pressure. It should be open, with chances at both ends. Home advantage may just tip it one way, but there is a strong chance both nets will shake at least once in normal time.

First, a quick word on our tips
- What we publish on Mathodds is analysis, nothing more. We are sharing an opinion, a read on the moment, but never a guarantee. Sport is what it is: unpredictable. A red card, a tactical tweak, a goal from nowhere… and the script changes completely.
- Let’s be clear: there is no such thing as a risk-free bet. Even when something looks nailed on, it never really is. And yes, that means you can lose. In fact, you will at some point.
- Best advice? Keep it sensible. Bet small, set a budget and stick to it. Do not touch money you need for everyday life. And whatever you do, do not chase losses. That rarely ends well.
- A bet should stay a bit of fun, not a job and not a source of income. If it starts taking up too much of your day, winds you up or puts you under pressure, take a break. And if needed, speak to a specialist organisation. That’s what it’s there for.
- In the end, the responsibility is yours. Reading our content means accepting that risk exists and will never disappear, even with the best analysis in the world.
- Key reminder: betting is forbidden to minors and must follow the law in your country. Gambling can spiral quickly (money loss, family tension, addiction). Need Help? Call 1-800-GAMBLER. In the UK? Visit https://www.gambleaware.org/https://www.gambleaware.org/.
No commitment from us
Our tips are not a contract. They have no legal force. In plain terms: you cannot rely on them to claim anything if a bet loses.
Information can change
A tip is always based on what we know when it is written. But in the meantime, a lineup can change, a player can get injured, the weather can turn… and the analysis can quickly be out of date. We cannot be held responsible for that.
Your role
Before you bet, check that gambling is legal where you live. If it is not, that is your responsibility, not ours.
Responsible play first
We cannot say it often enough: keep things in moderation. If you struggle to stay in control, do not wait to get help. We cannot be responsible for compulsive or excessive use of the information published on the site.
