Atalanta vs Lazio Prediction: Will the guests be able to beat such a powerful opponent?

Lazio has lost points against Udinese and will now face Atalanta, the second team in the league. Will they be able to beat such a powerful opponent?

Atalanta

The team has made a fine start to the league season. In 10 rounds, Atalanta hasn't lost a single game, has drawn only three times, and is approaching the meeting with Lazio in second place in the standings. The Bergamo side is just two points behind Napoli in the first place. Unlike almost all their direct rivals, Atalanta isn't competing in European competitions this season, so they have a tactical advantage over them.

In the previous fixture, Atalanta thrashed Sassuolo 2:1 on home soil. Bergama opened the scoring in the middle of the first half, allowing them to level the scores, but then they took the lead thanks to Ademola Lookman.

Lazio

The team faced Udinese in the previous round; surprisingly, they couldn't show their worth when it came to attacking. As a result, it was a 0:0 draw. The Romans have fallen out of the top four after relegating AS Roma and now sit in fifth place. They are, however, still the best defensive side in the league, having conceded just five goals in the last ten rounds.

It is possible that they played so poorly against Udinese because Lazio didn't have enough time to recover from their Europa League encounter. The Romans entertained Austria's Sturm, ending in a 2:2 draw on home soil. After four rounds of the European group stage, Lazio is only third in the quartet with Feyenoord, Midtjylland, and Sturm.

Expert Betting Tips

Atalanta has become a bottom team in the new season. Ciro Immobile may not play for Lazio in the upcoming match, making it difficult for the team. But even if Immobile takes to the pitch, the balance of power is unlikely to be fundamentally different. It is doubtful that Atalanta will concede more than 1 goal; they have conceded just 6 in 10 rounds. But Lazio has also conceded just five goals in 10 games. So, a bet on TU here goes without saying. In addition, in terms of the result, it is worth looking at Atalanta. They have not suffered a single defeat in this championship, and they are better prepared physically, considering the absence of European competitions, unlike their rival.
