Lazio will seek to impose their possession-based and pressing style of football. They will dominate the ball and set the tempo from their passing.
Gasperini will be without right-back Davide Zappacosta. The 30-year-old is sidelined with a biceps femoris muscle injury since January 15th. The fullback has missed 6 matches for Atalanta this season. No return date has been set for Zappacosta.

Possible Lineups

Lazio

Lazio will host Atalanta at the Stadio Olimpico on Saturday for a massive Serie A clash with top-four ramifications, with kickoff slated for 19:45 GMT. 

Atalanta

Maurizio Sarri’s men will be looking to extend their unbeaten run to five matches on the trot in Serie A. However, the focus will be on getting the win against Atalanta on Saturday to move on from the two dropped points at home to Fiorentina. 

Prediction

Atalanta will also be without center-back José Luis Palomino for the clash against Lazio. The 33-year-old defender is also nursing a biceps femoris muscle injury. He has been sidelined since January 22nd. He has missed 6 matches for Atalanta so far this season and is expected to be back fit by February 24th.
Atalanta will also look to be proactive, press from the front, and put pressure on Lazio.
Atalanta failed to capitalize on the fact that Lazio were not in action in Serie A last weekend. The 1-0 loss away to Sassuolo cost them the chance to move into 4th, and leapfrog Lazio, ahead of Saturday’s clash.
Atalanta will be looking to bounce back to winning ways after a shocking 1-0 defeat away to Sassuolo last time out.
