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.
The defeat was quite painful for Atalanta, apart from playing at home and they were also unable to maintain a positive trend until week 11.
It doesn't seem that difficult for Lazio to chase a record seventh clean sheet, considering they are facing Salernitana who in fact is ranked 11th in the standings.
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.
The defeat against Lazio at home, will be an evaluation for Gian Piero Gasperini's men, if you don't want to accept another defeat, the match will take place at Empoli, a bad record in the previous seven matches for Empoli, they only managed to win once and the rest were draws and accept defeat.
It should be an easy match for Atalanta to secure full points, so they continue to be in the title race this season.
It's true that Atalanta were even ahead before the start of the match. because according to history and analysis, Atalanta looks superior. However, Lazio seems to have proven that Lazio are superior to Atalanta in this match and with the result of this match Lazio deserves appreciation for the victory they have achieved. because it is not easy to get a win at the opponent's home.
They managed to suppress the Atalanta players and set the rhythm of the game quite well, so that the Atalanta players did not develop, Lazio deserved to win, because the hard work of all the players was visible, a quick goal in the 10th minute made Lazio continue to be in confidence, so they were able to bring return full points.
