With their visitors trailing by seven points and four places in the Serie A standings, Lazio host Atalanta BC at Stadio Olimpico on Saturday evening with a kickoff at 10:45 pm.
This evening, Roma and Lazio meet at the Stadio Olimpico in a clash between Serie A’s most entertaining teams: last season, they scored a combined 90 goals—including four during the October reverse fixture.
Lazio has scored 10 goals at home in their last three league matches. They are the only Serie A side to score as many as three goals in a match during the past six weeks.
Moreover, Lazio’s opponents also need to watch out for the Biancocelesti, who have scored three or more goals in six Serie A matches this season and scored four against Udinese, three against Genoa, and another three in a draw with Empoli.
Unbeaten on the road in domestic competition, Atalanta travel to the capital with a remarkable record of nine wins and two draws from their 11 fixtures outside of Bergamo so far.
In all, La Dea is unbeaten in their last 17 away league games—winning 13—and the last team to surpass such a streak in Serie A was Juventus during an all-conquering spell in 2019.
After canceling their opening fixture, Atalanta belatedly began the year with a 6-2 home win over Udinese in the Coppa Italia, then faced Fiorentina in the next round.

Lazio Team News
Napoli boss Maurizio Sarri faces a selection headache ahead of Saturday’s clash against Empoli, as midfielders Pedro (calf) and Mattia Zaccagni (ankle) are both in doubt.
Therefore, they may play either Raul Moro or Luka Romero alongside the more experienced Felipe Anderson and Ciro Immobile.
Atalanta Team News
Dinamo, too, has several absentees. Star striker Duvan Zapata has a muscle problem, and Robin Gosens is still recovering from a hamstring issue. Josip Ilicic, Ruslan Malinovsky, and Hans Hateboer are also out of contention to play.
Prediction and Odds
With Duvan Zapata sidelined by injury, Atalanta can edge past hosts behind a squad with several options in attacking positions.
- Double Chance
- Draw
- Both Teams to Score
