We also need to look at where Lazio’s away wins have happened this season as well.
All five victories have been against teams currently 15th or lower in the table.
So they have not proven their league form against stronger teams away from home.
Perhaps that is the area in which they could come unravelled again.
Laos only have one clean sheet in their last five away games, and that may not be good enough against Atalanta.
