Atalanta BC vs. Lazio Roma
After Atalanta Bergamo won 3-1 at Sampdoria Genoa in Serie A on Wednesday night, the Bergamski will be looking to add to their tally in the top-of-the-table clash against Lazio Roma. Currently, Atalanta are still without the services of international Robin Gosens, who will be out until December due to a thigh injury. In addition, the Bergamski’s season so far has been rather sluggish. Nevertheless, the last results offer reason for relief and allow Atalanta to look ahead. But the next opponent is also a challenge.
Lazio Roma are Atalanta Bergamo’s direct pursuers and moved up to sixth place in the table with Wednesday night’s 1-0 win over Florence. The Laziali always followed up their last two wins with a defeat. Lazio would like to avoid this fate in Bergamo. Read all about it in our Atalanta – Lazio betting tip.

Atalanta Form & Balance Check
Atalanta Bergamo started the Serie A season with teething problems. But after ten matchdays now, the Bergamski seem to have found themselves. Bergamo only picked up one point from their duels against the two Milan clubs, but did not let these results unsettle them. Atalanta won 4:1 against Empoli, but this victory was only followed by a 1-1 draw against Udinese, in which they equalised in the 94th minute. But coach Gian Piero Gasperini’s team proved on Wednesday that this was just a slip-up. Atalanta beat Sampdoria Genoa 3:1
Constancy is the key
If Atalanta Bergamo had held on to their lead against Udinese Calcio, the Bergamski would now have a record of three straight wins. But that is not the case. Atalanta have only managed to follow up a win with another victory once this season. Should Bergamo win against Lazio, the Bergamski would probably finally be able to talk about consistency. Currently, Atalanta are in 5th place in the table with 18 points.
Atalanta facts & analysis
– 3 games unbeaten
– Won 2 of last 3 matches
– Only 2 win from 5 games
Lazio form & balance check
Lazio Roma are also still without consistency this season. After Maurizio Sarri took over the team in the summer, the Laziali started the current season with two furious victories. However, Lazio then failed to win three games in a row. Since then, the Laziali have performed almost haphazardly. Rome won the capital derby against AS, but then lost to Bologna. Lazio won again against champions Inter before losing 4-1 to Hellas Verona. On Wednesday, the Romans were once again able to celebrate a win. Lazio won 1:0 against Florence.
Win or lose?
That there is an increasing inconsistency in the Laziali’s recent results can also be seen in Rome’s goal statistics. The Romans are in 6th place in the table after ten matchdays with 17 points and have already scored 20 goals. But keeper Reine has also had to make 17 saves. Nevertheless, an average of two goals speaks for itself. Only Inter Milan and AC Milan have scored more than the Laziali so far.
Lazio facts & analysis
– Last match won
– 3 wins and 2 defeats from 5 matches
– Third strongest offensive in Serie A
Predicted line-up – last update on 28 October 2021
Atalanta Bergamo will be on the offensive against Lazio Roma. Gian Piero Gasperini has the Bergamski playing in a 3-4-2-1 system, which helped Atalanta to success. Bergamo will mainly want to switch quickly after winning the ball and be dangerous on the wings. The two track players on the flanks have to act defensively and offensively.
Lazio Roma also play attacking football. Coach Maurizio Sarri has the Laziali in a classic 4-3-3 system. Like Atalanta, Lazio also want to be dangerous on the wings. The three-man midfield should distribute the balls to the outer lanes. Consequently, both wingers should move into the centre or serve the striker.
