Atalanta and Lazio Clash in Key Serie A Match on Sunday

BERGAMO, Italy — Atalanta will face Lazio on Sunday, October 19, at 6 p.m. in a pivotal Serie A match at Gewiss Stadium. Both teams are looking for crucial points in their respective campaigns.

Atalanta, under coach Ivan Juric, is aiming to maintain its unbeaten streak in the league. The team recently drew 1-1 against Como before the international break. They are also preparing for upcoming Champions League matches. Meanwhile, Lazio, managed by Maurizio Sarri, is trying to stabilize after a rocky start, currently sitting in 13th place in the standings.

For this match, Atalanta is expected to set up in a 3-4-2-1 formation, featuring goalkeeper Marco Carnesecchi, with a back three of Berat Djimsiti, Svend Hien, and Alassane Ahanor. The midfield will include Davide Zappacosta, Ederson, Marten de Roon, and Nicola Zalewski, while Ademola Lookman and Kamaldeen Sulemana are set to play as attacking midfielders. Giorgi Kryvtsov will lead the attack.

Lazio will likely adopt a 4-3-3 formation, with Ivan Provedel in goal. The defense will consist of Adam Marusic, Eduardo Gila, Alessio Romagnoli, and Tavares. The midfield trio includes Matteo Guendouzi, Danilo Cataldi, and Luka Basic, and the front line features Felipe Cancellieri, Jordi Dia, and Pedro. Zaccagni, recovering from injury, may start on the bench.

This matchup is notable as Atalanta seeks to improve upon last season’s results, where they failed to defeat Lazio in two encounters, finishing with a draw and a loss.
