Why does Lazio so often fail to score?
The Eagles from Rome are currently nothing more than mediocre in Italian soccer. At least, that’s what a glance at the Serie A table suggests ahead of our Lazio Rome vs. Atalanta Bergamo tip. The Biancocelesti are currently in tenth place.
They are now 13 points behind the European places, and their form ahead of the Lazio Rome vs. Atalanta Bergamo prediction fits in with the season as a whole. A seemingly bleak season could be immediately improved by reaching the Coppa Italia final.
To do so, however, the Sky Blues would have to put the ball in the back of the net. Maurizio Sarri’s players keep forgetting how to do that. Most recently, the Eagles failed to score in three consecutive league games.
Teams such as Cagliari (0-0) and Torino FC (0-2) certainly fall into the category of teams that, according to the capital club’s self-image, should be beatable. In addition, Sarri’s team suffered a 0-2 defeat against the Bergamaschi. Their chances of an away win are higher than those of a home win in the Lazio Rome – Atalanta Bergamo betting odds comparison.
To get off to a good start, it is essential to avoid a home defeat. Sarri’s team can only do this if the defense does its job again. We expect a tactical match and are betting at bet365 on Lazio Rome vs. Atalanta Bergamo odds of 1.92 for “Both teams to score: No.”
Lazio Rome – Atalanta Bergamo Head-to-head record
There have been three matches between the two Italian clubs since the beginning of 2025. Both teams failed to score twice and all three matches ended with “Both teams to score: No.” For our betting recommendation, we have learned from Lazio’s previous matches.
Within Serie A, 78 percent of Roma’s matches have seen a maximum of one goal scored by either team – the highest rate in the current competition. The Biancocelesti have ended more than half of their league games without scoring a goal (52 percent).
Lazio Rome – Atalanta Bergamo Tip
Sarri’s style of play creates too few clear scoring opportunities, and the quality of the chances is simply too low (0.09 xG/shot). On the other hand, the Sky Blues have also finished 44 percent of their games in Italy’s top flight without conceding a goal.
The hosts often build up play down the wings, but from there the Eagles rarely fly into the opponent’s penalty area with the ball. This could be even more difficult against the intense and man-oriented defense of the visitors from Bergamo.
Since Raffaele Palladino took over at Bergamo, La Dea has averaged 1.96 points per competitive game. In Serie A, Atalanta has played 16 games under the 41-year-old, conceding only 13 goals in the process and moving back into the top four in the table.
Nevertheless, caution is advised against the capital club. Lazio knocked AC Milan out of the competition in the round of 16, winning a typical Lazio game (1-0). The subsequent quarterfinal against Bologna went to penalties, where the Eagles showed better nerves from the spot (5-2 on penalties). Patience will definitely be a factor in the first leg of the semi-final.
