Atalanta Form Guide: Recent Results & Table Position

Ivan Juric’s reign in Bergamo began with two disappointing draws against Pisa and Parma, but the team then bounced back with two victories over Lecce (4-1) and Torino (3-0). However, Atalanta dropped more points in the last two rounds, sharing the spoils with Juventus and Como.

With two wins and four draws in the first six rounds, La Dea sits sixth in the Serie A table with 10 points. While they were hammered by Paris Saint-Germain on the opening matchday of the Champions League, they remain unbeaten on the domestic stage this season, so it remains to be seen if Lazio will have something to say about it.

Lazio Form Guide: Recent Results & Table Position

Lazio have started their campaign on a slow note, only collecting two wins in their first six rounds. While their victories over Hellas Verona and Genoa were large and convincing, their defeats to Como, Sassuolo and Roma highlighted the team’s limitations.

In their most recent outing, the Biancocelesti salvaged a point in the last minute following a back-and-forth clash with Torino, which puts them 13th in the Serie A table with just seven points in the bag.

Atalanta vs Lazio: Match Insights

• Lazio gunning for back-to-back wins in Bergamo: Having emerged victorious last April thanks to Gustav Isaksen’s winner, the Aquile are aiming for a second away win in a row against Atalanta for the third time in their history after 2002 and 2012.
• Juric targeting historic record: The Croatian boss is only the second Atalanta manager to avoid defeat in his first six matches in charge, but he’ll be keen to tie, and perhaps surpass Giovanni Vavassori’s record, which stands at eight.

Expected Starting Lineups

Atalanta (3-4-2-1):  Carnesecchi; Djimsiti, Hien, Scalvini; Zappacosta, Ederson, Pasalic, De Roon; De Ketelaere, Sulemana; Krstovic. 

Lazio (4-3-3): Provedel; Lazzari, Gila, Romagnoli, Nuno Tavares; Guendouzi, Cataldi, Basic; Cancellieri, Dia, Noslin

Final Score Prediction: Atalanta 2-1 Lazio

In the current day and age, Lazio may struggle to earn a result in Bergamo even with a complete squad at Maurizio Sarri’s disposal. Therefore, with key players like Taty Castellanos, Nicolo Rovella, and (most likely) Mattia Zaccagni ruled out of action, avoiding defeat could be a daunting mission for the Biancocelesti.

This should be an entertaining contest, but Atalanta’s superior depth and overall quality could be enough to tip the scales in their favor.
