This weekend’s Serie A fixture list is packed with important games and these Lazio vs. Atalanta predictions focus on a crucial game. Lazio are struggling just above the relegation zone, with Atalanta just outside the European spots.
1 – Atalanta to win – 1/5
2 – Atalanta under 2.5 total goals – 1/8
3 – Total goals scored under 2.5 – 10/11
4 – Both teams not to score – 6/5
5 – Atalanta to win 1-0 – 9/1
Maurizio Sarri finds himself under pressure on the back of a poor start to the Serie A season with Lazio. Heading into this weekend’s home clash against Atalanta, his team have won just one of their last four league outings, alongside a mixed start to their Champions League campaign.
Poor results have seen Lazio slip down the Serie A table and Atalanta arrive in Rome on a solid streak of domestic form.
Gian Piero Gasperini’s visitors are favourites to secure a win in the Italian capital after picking up seven points in their last three league matches, and two away wins from four in Serie A so far this season.
Atalanta have relied on close results to maintain their momentum, with three goals enough to secure three successive strong results, which have also included three clean sheets.
That pattern is expected to continue in this game, with Gasperini’s charges only scoring over 2.5 goals in one of their seven league matches games in 2023-24.
Lazio’s defensive form also gives little confidence that they will be able to keep Atalanta out at the Stadio Olimpico, with just one clean sheet kept from their seven league matches.
A tight win for Atalanta will maintain their forward push. But the real focus could be on Sarri if Lazio lose at home this weekend. Lazio were predicted to secure a place in the Champions League knockout stages ahead of their group rivals. But their problems in Serie A have drifted into Europe, and Sarri faces a challenge to turn things around in the weeks ahead.

Lazio (4-3-3): Provedel; Marusic, Casale, Romagnoli, Hysaj; Vecino, Guendouzi, Kamada; Zaccagni, Immobile, Anderson
Atalanta (3-4-3): Musso; Scalvini, Djimsiti, Toloi; Zappacosta, de Roon, Ederson, Pasalic; Lookman, De Ketelaere, Koopmeiners
Lazio have no fresh injury concerns ahead of this game but Sarri is expected to rotate to keep his options fresh. Matias Vecino and Daichi Kamada could come into the midfield, with Ciro Immobile ready to start in attack.
Atalanta’s injury picture remains unchanged ahead of this game, with attacking duo El Bilal Toure and Gianluca Scamacca both still out of action for the visitors. Mario Pasalic is an option to come into the team after their last Serie A game.
