Lazio's last five matches in two Competitions have not been better than Atalanta, they have only been able to win twice and draw three times, while Atalanta's last five matches have been far superior and convincing, where they won three and drew twice, even Atalanta still holds the unbeaten record before the game against Lazio.
But unfortunately the match did not go well for Atalanta, despite playing at home, but because of the consistency of defense and attack that Lazio built, Atalanta conceded two goals at home. Mattia Zaccagni's quick goal cost Atalanta their best game, so the game wasn't what it used to be for Atalanta.
Now Atalanta's position in the Serie A standings is in fourth place and that can at least be a reminder for Atalanta that currently there are several other teams that have tried to be more consistent in matches so Atalanta is expected to be more enthusiastic and also to be better in the next match against Empoli, because overall from 11 matches that have been passed by Atalanta, it has actually been very good, but Atalanta still need to improve their performance if they want even better results in Serie A this season.
This season Lazio transformed into a team with a solid defense in the Italian League Serie A. Of the 11 Serie A matches, Lazio's goal has only conceded five times. Lazio have also only lost once, namely from Napoli in week 5. Lazio have also managed to keep six clean sheets in a row in Serie A this season after beating Atalanta. Interestingly, this sixth clean sheet they got from Atalanta, an unbeaten team in Serie A and also Lazio's arch rivals in the standings.
Now Sarri will be chasing a record seventh clean sheet against Salernitana. In Lazio's history, the record for the highest clean sheet in the Italian Serie A occurred during the era of coach Sven-Goran Eriksson in 1998. One step further, the record can at least be equaled or even broken by Maurizio Sarri.
Now Lazio are in a better position in the Serie A standings with a number of points that are not different from Atalanta and not too far from AC Milan who are one level above Lazio for a while, and actually AC Milan's current position in the standings can also threatened if AC Milan is not able to consistently maintain his performances this season, because Lazio began to improve his performance in several matches and it will continue because Lazio believe that he is able to occupy a better position in Serie A this season.
