"Consistency is key. It can give confidence. We started the competition with disappointing results. But now we have to focus and be consistent," said Pedro.

Pedro emphasized consistency because Lazio's position is getting more and more vulnerable if they don't get up immediately. The problem is, they got an opponent who can't be taken lightly this week.

Yes, Atalanta is unbeaten in the last five matches in various competitions. They only drew once when they were arrested by Juventus 0-0. Furthermore, in the Champions League match, La Dea beat the hosts Sporting 2-1.

In the match against Lazio, Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini was able to field the best squad. The forward Gianluca Scamacca is back in the squad and in the last match it has only been played for a few minutes. However, Gasperini relied more on the duo Charles De Ketelaere and Ademola Lookman.

Meanwhile, Lazio lost the captain and striker Ciro Immobile. Coach Maurizio Sarri also prepared Taty Castellos as the spearhead to replace Immobile. He was supported by Pedro, and Mattia Zaccagni.

Sarri also carried out a reshuffle in the central sector by fielding Luis Alberto, Matteo Guendouzi and loan player from Juventus Nicolo Rovella. While behind, former central defender AC Milan Alessio Romagnoli will be the host's stronghold.

Even though it fell in an incomplete formation, Lazio still had the opportunity to win three points if they were able to be consistent. Because the away match record Atalanta is not good enough.
