Lazio vs Atalanta Preview

Serie A leaders Atalanta will travel to Rome to face Lazio looking to keep their place at the top of the table heading into 2025. Conversely, fourth-placed Lazio will be desperate to dent Atalanta’s hopes while keeping themselves within the title conversation ahead of the new year.

The hosts have collected 34 points this season and look comfortable in the race for European spots. However, they have been hit-and-miss lately, suffering two defeats, including a 6-0 loss to Inter Milan in their last home outing.

They won their last five such games before that, though, so a response against Atalanta wouldn’t be a total surprise. Still, the fact that they have won just one of the last seven head-to-head games (D3, L3) suggests they have a lot of work to do here.

Meanwhile, Atalanta made it eleven straight league wins last time when they beat Empoli-a club record. Five of those wins have come on the road, with four of those games accompanied by a clean sheet.

The Bergamo club look imperious on the road and will fancy their chances here. Having secured their 13th win of the Serie A campaign – the most league wins any side in any of Europe’s traditional big-five leagues has to their name this term-Atalanta look primed to record victory number 14 here.
