Lazio – Atalanta: Analyze the match

This season, Lazio and Atalanta have shown a very good level of play. The “Eagles” have won four of their last five matches, but their only defeat was a scathing setback against Inter (0-6). Despite this, the team has 34 points in 17 days and ranks among the four best teams in Serie A. With three points ahead of fifth and six points behind the leader, Lazio seems to be aiming for a place in the League Champions rather than a championship title.

For its part, Atalanta impresses with a series of 13 games without defeat in the league. Thanks to its excellent results, the Bergamasques are among the leaders of Serie A with 40 points after 17 days. They have a two-point lead over second, but Inter, third with 37 points, have a game in hand and could match their tally. The fight for the title therefore promises to be exciting for Atalanta.

Compositions probables

• Lazio: Provedel; Marušić, Gila, Romagnoli, Tavares; Guendouzi, Rovella ; Isaksen, Dia, Zaccagni; Castellanos
• Atalanta : Carnesecchi ; Kossounou, Højlund, Kolasinac ; Bellanova, De Roon, Ederson, Ruggeri ; Pašalic, Lookman ; The Kettles
