Atalanta form guide: latest results and table position

Ivan Juric’s reign in Bergamo began with disappointing draws against Pisa and Parma, but the team subsequently bounced back with victories over Lecce (4-1) and Torino (3-0). But Atalanta wasted more points in the last two rounds, sharing the spoils with Juventus and Como.

With two wins and four draws in the first six rounds, La Dea ranks sixth in the Italian League table with 10 points. Although they were beaten by Paris Saint-Germain in the opening round of the Champions League, they are unbeaten on the domestic stage this season, so it remains to be seen whether Lazio will have anything to say about that.

Atalanta vs Lazio: match analysis

• Lazio seeks to achieve two consecutive victories in Bergamo: After emerging victorious last April thanks to a goal from Gustav Isaksen, Aquil aims to achieve its second successive win away to Atalanta for the third time in its history after 2002 and 2012.
• Juric targeting historical record: The Croatian is only the second Atalanta coach to avoid defeat in his first six matches, but will be keen to get a draw, perhaps surpassing Giovanni Vavassori’s record of eight.

Atalanta (3-4-2-1): Carnecici. Gemsetti, Henn, Scalvini; Zappacosta, Ederson, Pasalic, De Roon; De Ketelaer, Sulaymaniyah; Christovich.

Predicted final score: Atalanta 2-1 Lazio

In the current era, Lazio may struggle to achieve a good result in Bergamo even with a full squad at Maurizio Sarri’s disposal. So, with key players like Tati Castellanos, Nicolo Rovella and (most likely) Mattia Zaccagni ruled out, avoiding defeat could be a daunting task for the Biancocelesti.

This should be an entertaining contest, but Atalanta’s superior depth and all-round quality could be enough to tip the scales in their favour.
