Lazio vs Atalanta – Preview, and Prediction
Lazio vs Atalanta – One of the most intriguing games of Gameweek No. 8 will take place on Sunday afternoon at Stadio Olimpico when Lazio hosts Atalanta.
Midweek saw both teams play, and they both had great results, winning important away games against Celtic and Sporting Lisbon, respectively.
Similar to their performance on the first day of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Lazio secured a decisive 2-1 victory in Glasgow by scoring a goal in stoppage time during the second round at Celtic Park.
With four points from two games, they are now leading Group E in the standings. The victory over the Bhoys will undoubtedly lift Lazio’s morale in the locker room following their Serie A loss to AC Milan last weekend, 0–2.
It was Lazio’s fourth defeat in seven league games this season. If they want to stay ahead of the top clubs in the league and qualify for the European championships the next season, they cannot afford any more domestic mistakes.
In the domestic league, Atalanta had a lot better start. They will go to the capital on the strength of four wins and a draw in their last five games across all competitions. They have four wins in their past seven games.
Atalanta’s defensive performances have clearly improved, and head coach Gianpiero Gasperini should be especially happy with this since La Dea has allowed just one goal in their previous five games across all competitions.
