Atalanta vs Lazio Preview, Prediction, Possible Lineups & Bet Tips

Atalanta are undefeated in Serie A this season as La Dea welcome a struggling Lazio on October 19th and you can find a full preview, prediction, possible lineups and betting tips below.

Atalanta vs Lazio Preview

Ivan Juric has enjoyed a strong start to his rein as Atalanta manager, with La Dea avoiding defeat from six matches in Serie A so far and sitting sixth in the table.

However, Atalanta’s unbeaten streak is slightly tainted by the fact that four of their six league matches have ended in a draw and La Dea have won on just two occasions.

Most recently Ivan Juric’s side were held to a 1-1 stalemate by Como at the Gewiss Stadium, but this match saw Ademola Lookman make his first start in Serie A after a turbulent summer.

The Nigerian international looked set to leave the club during the recent transfer window, as Lookman requested a move away and refused to turn up to training.

Atalanta have been linked with Galatasaray winger, Yunus Akgun, who would be viewed as a replacement for Lookman if the Nigerian pushes for a move in January.

Lazio will be hoping that Lookman does not show signs of the player that secured Atalanta’s Europa League trophy in 2024, as the Laziali have struggled in Serie A this season.

Maurizio Sarri’s side have picked up two wins from their opening six league matches, suffering two defeats and drawing their most recent clash with Torino.

Danilo Cataldi’s last minute penalty rescued a point for Lazio, as the Rome-based side threw away a 2-1 lead and amplified the Laziali’s issues at the back.

Atalanta vs Lazio Prediction

This fixture has been evenly contested in recent years, with Atalanta winning five of the last 12, Lazio picking up four victories and three ending in a stalemate.

Lazio have been victorious in three of their last five matches at the Gewiss Stadium, but the statistics show that the Lazilai struggle after an international break.

With that in mind, we expect Atalanta to secure a narrow victory over Lazio despite the Laziali’s strong record in Bergamo and La Dea will maintain their unbeaten run in Serie A.

Prediction: Atalanta 2-1 Lazio

Atalanta vs Lazio Betting Tips

Matteo Cancellieri to score anytime: +460

The 23-year-old has started to cement himself as a Lazio player after spending the last two seasons out on loan, scoring three-goals in five Serie A appearances so far.

Cancellieri’s goals have come in his last two appearances for the Laziali, scoring the opener in a 3-0 win over Genoa and bagging a first-half brace in a 3-3 stalemate with Torino.

Although Atalanta have not lost a game in Serie A this season, La Dea have conceded at last one goal in five of their six league matches so far – meaning Lazio and Cancellieri will have chances to score on October 19th.
