Game week two of the Serie A season and the teams have had a few days to digest the first match. Here's the Lazio - Atalanta preview:

It's no vacation for neither Lazio nor Atalanta as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Lazio form and stats

A strong away win for Lazio against Cagliari the last match, as Manuel Lazzari and Ciro Immobile were on target. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Napoli (1-3).

This is expected to be a close game, with Lazio perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Lazio as a small favourite), we find eight games. Lazio has won two of these, drawn two and lost four.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Inter are coming to town in four days.

Last season, Lazio's league statistics were 24 wins, 6 draws and 8 losses, resulting in a 4th position in the Serie A. Over these 38 matches they scored 79 goals and conceded 42. Playing at home last season Lazio managed 14-3-2 (win-draw-lost) with 46 goals and 17 conceded.

Atalanta form and stats

A perfect away game record so far for the visitors in the Serie A, but they have only played once. Last season their away game stats were 11 wins, 7 draws and 1 defeat from 19 matches.

Atalanta play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 4-2 victory visiting Torino (placed 16th). The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-2 defeat against Inter.

As you can tell from the result, the match against Torino was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found five similar matches played by Atalanta in our archives, and the results are: three wins for Atalanta, two draws and zero defeats.

After this away game Atalanta return home for a Serie A game against Cagliari. That game is only four sleeps after this.

It's early days yet, but Atalanta has scored 4 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).

Let's have a look at how Atalanta performed last season in the Serie A: They landed a 3rd position in the league table after playing out 23 victories, 9 draws and 6 defeats. In total they scored 98 and conceded 48 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 11 - drew 7 and lost 1 with 47/22 goals scored/conceded.

Head 2 Head

Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Lazio won four games, three matches ended with a draw and Atalanta has three wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: six / four
