Atalanta and Lazio are two teams who are in great form at the moment.
So we could have quite the showdown on our hands in this Coppa Italia quarter-final match.

Atalanta Preview – Can Atalanta overcome the tough challenge?
Atalanta are a team in great form at the moment, but this is no easy Coppa Italia tie.
They are the 17/20 favourites on home turf to win this* (odds recorded 04:52 GMT Monday, 25th January 2021).
They haven’t lost in any competition since back at the end of November so are in a hot streak of form.
Atlanta have won five of their last seven games (D2) and are just so difficult to knockdown.
In the previous round of this season’s Coppa Italia, they collected a 3-1 home win over Cagliari.
It is worth a look at their home form, which has been quite frankly, superb.
Atalanta have won five of their last six games on home soil.
But there’s more to that. They have scored at least three goals in all but one of their last half a dozen home games.
Over 3.5 goals in the game is at 5/4 with the more conservative over 2.5 at 8/15* (odds recorded 04:52 GMT Monday, 25th January 2021).
Four of the last five meetings between Atalanta and Lazio have made it over three goals.
Back in September, Atalanta paid a league visit to Lazio and they ran out big 4-1 winner.
They have some very good head to head form against Lazio from the recent meetings.
Atlanta are W4 D3 L1 in their last eight games against Lazio.
The one loss in that sequence was in the most recent Coppa Italia meeting in May 2019.
Lazio Preview – Can Lazio extend their winning streak?
It is a five-match winning streak that Lazio are currently on in all competitions.
In the sequence, they collected a 2-1 home win over Parma in the last round of the Coppa Italia.
So they have hit some great form but they go into the game as the 14/5 underdogs in the match outright* (odds recorded 04:52 GMT Monday, 25th January 2021).
This big recent spike of form from them really makes this tie very interesting.
They have hit at least two goals in seven of their last eight games in all competitions, so this could be a high-scoring affair again.
But with Lazio being the underdogs, an Atalanta to win and both teams to score option is at 9/4 to consider for football betting* (odds recorded 04:52 GMT Monday, 25th January 2021).
Where perhaps this just falls down for Lazio is in their away form which has been solid, but not spectacular.

Lazio have won two of their last six road games (D3 L1) in all competitions.
While they have failed to score in only one road game this season in all competitions, they have struggled for clean sheets.

That’s worth keeping in mind as they are facing a free-scoring Atalanta for a place in the semi-finals.
The winner of this tie will face either Napoli or Spezia in the final four.
