Atalanta vs Lazio Predictions

• Lazio have conceded the second-highest number of shots on target in Serie A this term
• Atalanta are unbeaten in Serie A this season, while they’re fourth in the xG table
• Lazio have lost their three toughest tests so far, with their only wins coming against sides in the bottom three

Solid Atalanta to secure victory

Atalanta have managed to cope with the departure of Gian Piero Gasperini so far, with the club making an unbeaten start to the new Serie A campaign. They’ve suffered four draws in that run, but their underlying numbers point to some strong performances.

Atalanta are backed to see off a Lazio side who have a turbulent summer, which has carried into a difficult autumn. The visitors have lost in visits to Sassuolo and Como, while they suffered a 1-0 defeat to rivals Roma.

Lazio’s seven points have come from wins over two of the bottom three, along with a 3-3 draw against Torino. They’ve failed to score in each of their defeats, while they’ve conceded the second-most shots on target across Serie A.

La Dea have won 4-1 at home to Lecce, while they were the better side in their home draws with Como and Pisa. Given Lazio’s struggles against decent Serie A opposition, back a settled Atalanta side to build on a solid start with another three points.
