Atalanta vs Lazio prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-10-18 16:00.
[p]Atalanta and Lazio are two teams both striving for more consistency after the international break, ahead of their meeting in Bergamo on Sunday.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Just when new manager Ivan Jurić appears to be cooking up something special at Atalanta, they stumble in an ungainly manner. They were unable to defeat mid-table Como in their previous outing, missing an opportunity to draw level with Juventus and Inter on 12 points, and have only accumulated three more points than their underwhelming start to last season at the same stage (W2, D1, L3). La Dea are still yet to lose a league game under Jurić (W2, D4), but that record seemingly comes under threat at home, where Atalanta have won just three of their last 14 Serie A games (D7, L4). [/p]
[p]Lazio took some advantage of their meetings with struggling Genoa (W 3-0) and Torino (D 3-3) to register more goals and points in that pair of games alone than in their first four of the league season, and yet they weren’t able to move away from the 13th-place position they held prior to those two outings! As far as the scoring was concerned, it was certainly a step in the right direction for a club that lost three of their first four Serie A games without scoring, so it will be fascinating to see how they fare away to a top-half opposition after failing against Como (2-0) and Sassuolo (1-0) earlier in the season. [/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]This has been a dead-even matchup in recent years with the 12 competitive H2Hs since the 2019/20 season split four wins apiece with four draws. Home advantage hasn’t counted for much either, with the visitors of the day taking all three Serie A points five times during that period. [/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]The pre-match favourite won only two of Atalanta’s last seven Serie A games (D4, L1).[/p]

[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Kamaldeen Sulemana, who struck in successive Serie A games for Atalanta last month, continued his good form with a World Cup qualifying goal off the bench for Ghana. Matteo Cancellieri opened Lazio’s account in each of his last two appearances, with his three league goals this season all coming before half-time. [/p]
[p]Marten de Roon returns from suspension for Atalanta, whilst Raoul Bellanova and Nicola Zalewski are racing against time to be fit. Lazio captain Mattia Zaccagni will again miss out. [/p]
