La Dea look to keep their impressive start to the season going on Sunday and these Atalanta vs. Lazio predictions suggest that the home side will be celebrating once again. Gian Piero Gasperini’s team would go top with another win here.
Atalanta vs. Lazio odds
1 – Atalanta to win – 1/1
2 – Under 2.5 goals scored – 11/10
3 – Ademola Lookman to score at any time – 13/5
4 – Both teams not to score – 6/5
5 – Half time/Full time Atalanta/Atalanta – 21/10
Gian Piero Gasperini may have already said that his Atalanta cannot compete with the likes of Milan and Napoli for the Serie A title. But his players are currently proving him wrong, remaining unbeaten and with the potential to go top again this weekend.
It was another Ademola Lookman goal that sealed the three points last weekend at home to Sassuolo and he could get on the scoresheet against Lazio too. He is enjoying his best season yet after a loan period at Leicester City last year and is fitting in perfectly with Atalanta’s new tactics this term.
Known for scoring lots of goals in the last few seasons, La Dea have taken a much more cautious approach this season – and it is definitely working. That’s why a bet on under 2.5 goals being scored on Sunday could be a good idea – with the home side winning, of course.
Lazio are also looking quietly impressive this season and currently sit just outside the top four, having only lost to league leaders Napoli. But the absence of Ciro Immobile through injury is a major blow for the Biancocelesti.
He could be out for the rest of the games before the World Cup break and will be sorely missed by a Lazio side that still look to their goal-scoring captain for inspiration. That’s another reason why there may not be many goals scored in this fixture.
Maurizio Sarri needs to look to his squad to replace the talismanic Immobile but does not have the same kind of forward in his ranks. This may see the capital city club play a more defensive game at the Gewiss Stadium at the weekend – but they will still have a lot of trouble keeping Atalanta out.

Atalanta vs. Lazio line-ups
Atalanta (3-4-1-2): Sportiello; Demiral, Scalvini, Okoli; Maehle, de Roon, Koopmeiners, Soppy; Pašalić; Muriel, Lookman
Lazio (4-3-3): Provedel; Marušić, Romagnoli, Casale, Hysaj; Vecino, Cataldi, Milinković-Savić; Zaccagni, Pedro, Felipe Anderson
Atalanta team news
Gian Piero Gasperini is unlikely to make any major changes to his starting eleven after such success so far this season. He is still with Zapata and Tolói but should reward Soppy for his creative contributions in recent matches with another start. Muriel and Lookman should also both begin up front.
Lazio team news
Lazio will be a much less frightening prospect for Atalanta without Ciro Immobile, even if Sarri brings in Pedro as a replacement. The Aquile boss will also have to make do without the suspended Manuel Lazzari, with Elseid Hysaj probably returning to the starting line-up.
