Stadio Olimpico Showdown: Lazio’s Search for Redemption vs Atalanta’s Quest for Dominance
Key Stats
– Atalanta remain unbeaten at the Olimpico against Lazio for six years.
– Atalanta have registered five clean sheets in their first seven fixtures this season.
Lazio are seeking to rekindle their domestic form after a morale-boosting victory in Europe, as they host Atalanta this Sunday. While the Roman outfit languishes in the bottom half of Serie A, their Champions League aspirations remain alive, thanks to a couple of late dramatic goals. Meanwhile, Atalanta, after enduring a mixed bag of results against Lazio in recent times, look poised to maintain their recent unbeaten record at the Olimpico.
Lazio’s European Euphoria and Domestic Dilemma
Maurizio Sarri’s Lazio has experienced a contrasting journey in Europe and Italy this season. Securing a rare away victory in Glasgow against Celtic, they have maintained an unbeaten Champions League run. However, their domestic campaign paints a gloomier picture. With just one victory at their home ground this season and a mere seven points in the bag, the pressure is mounting on Sarri and his squad.

Their woes compounded after a 2-0 defeat to Milan last weekend, making it their fourth loss this season. Sarri cites a hectic schedule for their faltering form, but the Rome faithful demand results.
Atalanta’s Olimpico Opportunity
Atalanta, on the other hand, have been a formidable side in the last six years at Stadio Olimpico, remaining unbeaten against their Roman rivals. After collecting seven points in their last three league fixtures and standing sixth in Serie A, Atalanta’s recent form suggests they could continue this dominance. The Bergamo side, under Gian Piero Gasperini, has shown its mettle by registering five clean sheets in the first seven fixtures for the first time.
Team News and Expected Line-ups
Lazio’s captain and talisman, Ciro Immobile, might be absent due to an injury he sustained against Celtic. In his absence, Taty Castellanos could be leading the frontline. Sarri, considering the tight schedule, might rotate his midfield with the likes of Danilo Cataldi, Matteo Guendouzi, and Nicolo Rovella in contention.
For Atalanta, they might have Gianluca Scamacca back in action after his appearance as a substitute against Sporting. Charles De Ketelaere and Ademola Lookman might continue their attacking partnership, while Rafael Toloi could replace the injured Berat Djimsiti.
