The Coppa Italia features an exciting set of quarter-finals this week as Lazio take on Atalanta at the Atleti Azzurri d'Italia on Wednesday. The two Italian sides have been impressive in the Coppa Italia this season and will want to win this game.
Lazio are currently in seventh place in the Serie A standings and have found their feet after a disappointing start to their season. The Biancocelesti edged Sassuolo to a 2-1 victory over the weekend and will be confident ahead of this match.
Atalanta, on the other hand, are a resurgent outfit at the moment after an emphatic 3-0 victory against league-leaders AC Milan in their previous game. La Dea are a formidable side under Gian Piero Gasperini and have a point to prove in the Coppa Italia.
