On Sunday, Atalanta will be looking to maintain their undefeated record this season when they host Lazio at the recently-renamed New Balance Arena in Bergamo.

While there was a time when the Aquile were considered the favorites upon landing in the Lombardian city, the situation has drastically changed nowadays, as illustrated by the Serie A table, whether this season, or in the majority of the previous campaigns over the last decade.

Nevertheless, it is worth taking a look at the numbers registered in the previous meetings between the Orobici and the Italian capital side.

Atalanta and Lazio’s first Serie A encounter dates back to 1937. Since then, they have met in 114 top-flight contests. Interestingly, the Bergamo-based club holds the upper hand with 38 victories, while the Biancocelesti have only prevailed on 33 occasions. Interestingly, the most recurring result is a draw, with the two sides sharing the spoils on 43 occasions.

Atalanta have also outscored Lazio 142 to 136, but this fixture’s top three goal scorers are all Aquile legends, namely Giuseppe Signori (8), Ciro Immobile (6), and Silvio Piola (5).

Lazio have a mediocre record in Bergamo, having only tasted victory on 11 occasions in their 57 away league clashes against La Dea. On the other hand, Atalanta have beaten the capital side at home on 23 occasions, while also registering 23 draws. They have also scored 79 goals to Lazio’s 52.

    • Latest Atalanta Victory vs Lazio: The last time La Dea prevailed in this fixture dates back to February 4, 2024. Mario Pasalic broke the deadlock for the home side early on, while Charles De Ketelaere doubled the lead for Gian Piero Gasperini’s men with a spot-kick just before the interval. The Belgian then completed his brace in the second half, while Immobile grabbed a late consolation for the visitors from the spot, ending the match 3-1.
    • Latest Lazio Victory vs Atalanta: The last time these two sides met, Lazio emerged victorious thanks to a solitary strike from Gustav Isaksen. Marco Baroni uncharacteristically relied on counterattacks while dropping deep, and this approach paid off, with Fisayo Dele-Bashiru playing a key role. The contest took place in Bergamo on April 6, 2025.
    • Latest Draw Between Atalanta & Lazio: The two clubs played out an entertaining draw at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome on December 28, 2024. Dele-Bashiru gave the visitors the lead courtesy of Nicolo Rovella’s assist, but Marco Brescianini salvaged a point for the visitors with a late equalizer just minutes following his introduction.
