Preview
Atalanta comes into this after a mighty fine performance in their 3-1 away win over Sampdoria in the Serie A on Wednesday.
Caputo put the hosts in front before Askildsen’s own goal and strikes from Zapata and Ilicic ensured another win for La Dea.
This win took them to 5th in the league table with 18 points from 10 matches and will aim to build on the win.
On the other hand, Lazio got back to winning ways on Wednesday when they won 1-0 at home against Fiorentina in the Serie A.

Rodriguez scored the only goal of the match in the second half as the hosts picked up their 5th win of the season.
Lazio is one place below their opponents in 6th with just a point’s difference between the two.
Hence, this becomes a very important clash early on the season as the winner can take a head-start over the other and gain entry into the top 4 of the table.
Both sides met last in January earlier this year in the Serie A, where Lazio won 3-1 away.
