Atalanta face Lazio in the second leg of the Coppa Italia semi-final on Wednesday. The first leg in Rome last month ended 2-2, with the winner to face Inter Milan or Como in the final in May.
Raffaele Palladino’s Atalanta are coming off a 1-1 Serie A draw at AS Roma at the weekend. La Dea (46%) were dominated on possession but scored off one of two shots on target – through – Nikola Krstovic to eventually settle for a share of the spoils.
Thanks for the submission!
The stalemate keeps Palladino’s side seventh in the standings, with 54 points from 33 matches. They now turn their attention to the domestic cup, having twice come from behind in the first leg of the semi-final.
Meanwhile, Maurizio Sarri’s Lazio are fresh off a 2-0 Serie A win at SSC Napoli. Matteo Cancelllieri and Torna Basic scored either side of the break for the seventh-placed Biancocelesti – two places and seven points behind La Dea – as they seek their first cup final in seven years.
