Atalanta have made a steady start to the Serie A season, remaining unbeaten after six matches (2 wins and 4 draws), currently sitting 6th in the standings. However, their recent form has been somewhat inconsistent, with 3 wins, 5 draws, and 2 losses in their last 10 matches. Tactically, Atalanta emphasize attacking creativity — excelling in long-range shots, through balls, and rapid counterattacks — while also maintaining an aggressive approach in possession and pressing.
Despite their offensive fluidity, Atalanta struggle with finishing efficiency and defending on the flanks. The absence of key players such as defender Sead Kolašinac and midfielder Gosensano has further weakened their defensive stability. Historically, they have been slightly less confident against Lazio, with a record of 3 wins, 3 draws, and 4 losses in their last 10 meetings. Notably, Atalanta are vulnerable between the 46th and 60th minutes, often due to lapses in concentration and errors during possession.
Lazio, on the other hand, have been inconsistent across their last 10 fixtures (4 wins, 2 draws, 4 losses). They currently sit 13th in Serie A with 7 points from 6 games (2 wins, 1 draw, 3 losses). While Lazio’s offensive coordination remains effective, their away form has been poor. The team focuses on penetrating passes and ball-control attacks, with strength in set pieces and finishing accuracy. However, they suffer from frequent offside errors, weak aerial duels, and poor coverage against wide attacks.
Defensively, Lazio face additional challenges due to injuries to defender Pellegrini and midfielder Delle Bashiru, leaving gaps at the back. Interestingly, Lazio tend to score late in matches (76–90 minutes) but are prone to conceding between the 46th and 60th — the same window where Atalanta often apply heavy pressure. Historically, Lazio have a slight edge over Atalanta (4 wins, 3 draws, 3 losses in their last 10 meetings), which could provide a minor psychological boost.
Match Analysis:
In the past year, the two teams have met twice, with Lazio winning once and drawing once, leaving Atalanta winless. However, given current form, squad availability, and home advantage, Atalanta appear better positioned to control the game. Lazio’s defensive injuries and away vulnerabilities make them susceptible to Atalanta’s sustained pressure and quick transitions.
Predicted Score:
🔵 Atalanta 2 – 1 Lazio
(alternative: Atalanta 2 – 0 Lazio)
Prediction: Atalanta Win ✅
