Atalanta vs Lazio Prediction – Serie A

Lazio find themselves in 8th place with 51 points, courtesy of 15 victories, 7 draws, and 8 losses. They suffered a heavy defeat in their penultimate fixture against Bologna (0-5) and managed only a draw against Torino (1-1) in their latest match. The team’s performance is largely unaffected by the venue, with comparable tallies at home and away: 29 goals scored and 21 conceded at home, versus 22 scored and 21 conceded as visitors. Over the last ten matches, Lazio has recorded 6 victories, 1 draw, and 3 losses, resulting in 19 points from a potential 30. When playing away, the most common half-time score ‘on the road’ was 0-1 (6 occurrences in 15 games). Despite showing attacking potential by scoring in 8 of their last 10 matches, defensive frailty has led to conceding in 8 out of the last 10. Notably, they have let in the first goal in 11 of their 30 matches and have only managed to come back to win on 2 of these occasions. In their away fixtures, they have scored 8 of their 22 goals during the final minutes (76′-90′) while conceding 7 of their 20 goals in the opening quarter-hour (46′-60′).

Lazio comes into this match following a draw against Torino (1-1), where Adam Marusic netted their only goal. The visiting side employs a 4-3-3 formation, with Mattia Zaccagni, Gustav Isaksen, and Boulaye Dia leading the attacking front. They often seek to construct their attacks primarily down the left flank to better utilise Adam Marusic’s pace and ability to stretch the defence. Mattéo Guendouzi is ruled out due to suspension, alongside Nuno Tavares, Arijon Ibrahimovic, Taty Castellanos, and Patric, all sidelined with injury issues.
