Match Preview
Atalanta hosts Lazio at the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo on Sunday, 19 October, in a clash that promises to be tightly contested. Atalanta has shown resilience in their recent form, bouncing back from a shaky start to secure three consecutive victories after two initial losses. This resurgence highlights their attacking prowess, which has been a hallmark of their play under Gian Piero Gasperini. In contrast, Lazio's form has been less consistent, with just two draws in their last five matches, indicating struggles in both defence and attack.
A key angle to consider is Atalanta's home advantage, where they have historically performed well against Lazio, winning three of the last ten encounters at home. Additionally, both teams have a tendency to score, with six of the last ten head-to-head meetings seeing both teams find the net. Given Atalanta's current form and their ability to exploit Lazio's defensive vulnerabilities, this match could see plenty of goals, making the prospect of both teams scoring a compelling bet.
