Lazio vs Atalanta: Team News and Expert Analysis
The Rome club lost the race for sixth place to Fiorentina last season, having the same 65 points but worse tiebreakers. Now, with Sarri restored as head coach, even repeating that result is becoming increasingly unlikely, though it's certainly too early to give up. Especially after the recent defeat to Torino in the last round…
The team from Bergamo parted ways with their longtime coach, Gasperini, this summer. He left the squad in excellent shape: Champions League playoff participants and third in Serie A. Despite the failed bet on Juric, under his replacement Palladino, the Italians again managed to advance from the main round in Europe's top tournament. In February, after losing 0-2 to Borussia Dortmund away, they staged a comeback last week with a 4-1 win — so they progressed further. However, in domestic competition, the gap to the top four was quite significant. Especially after a string of wins, including one over Napoli, they then lost to Sassuolo.
Lazio surprised right away in the cup, narrowly beating Milan 1-0. It was tougher against Bologna, but after a 1-1 draw, they advanced through a penalty shootout. The visitors have only thrashed their opponents so far: first, a 4-0 win over Genoa, then 3-0 against Juventus. However, both matches were played at home.
