Atalanta vs Lazio

Atalanta and Lazio will go head-to-head at the Gewiss Stadium in one of the most exciting match-ups on this weekend’s Serie A football schedule.

Atalanta came from a 1-0 down to beat Sampdoria 3-1 on the road in midweek and maintain their inconsistency at the beginning of the new Serie A season. Indeed, none of Atalanta’s last six league matches have seen the same result repeating twice in a row (W3, D2, L1), with five of those fixtures featuring 3+ goals and both teams score. However, while impressing away from home, Gian Piero Gasperini’s men have yet to find their feet in Bergamo this season, with only 27.78% of their total Serie A points earned to date coming on the road (13/18). Yet, ‘La Dea’ can take confidence from their free-scoring form against Lazio, having found the net in each of their last ten Serie A H2Hs. Before losing this exact fixture 3-1 in January, Atalanta had been unbeaten in seven league H2Hs beforehand (W4, D3).

In the meantime, Lazio’s patchy form since a brace of scoring draws in mid-September has seen them alternate between winning (3) and losing (2) across their five Serie A matches since. But it’s worth noting that three of Lazio’s last four league games won/lost have yielded a full-time margin of 2+ goals, suggesting the ‘Biancocelesti’ are struggling to establish any form of consistency. New manager Maurizio Sarri has overseen his side losing three of their last four Serie A away fixtures (D1) since a come-from-behind 3-1 win over newly-promoted Empoli in their first trip of the season. Having already suffered ten Serie A away defeats in 2021, Lazio could lose 11 top-flight games on the road across a single calendar year for the first time since 2013.
