Atalanta’s confirming starting lineup for today’s match against Lazio has been announced.

Atalanta currently sit fifth in the Serie A table after the opening 10 games, with 18 points. The Bergamo-based side have one more point than Lazio, so today’s game could be crucial in the fight for a top-four finish.

La Dea have struggled for points at home this campaign, the opposite problem of Lazio, who have failed to impress whilst playing away. This suggests that it’ll be a tense and delicate game in Lombardy today.
