Atalanta vs Lazio: Coppa Italia semi preview

Atalanta and Lazio meet in Bergamo with a Coppa Italia final spot on the line. The first leg in Rome finished 2-2, so the tie is wide open at New Balance Arena. Expect a tight, technical game that could go long if the aggregate stays level. You can follow it all on Sofascore, from live momentum to post-match Sofascore Ratings.
Where the first leg left us
The 2-2 in Rome was balanced but lively. Atalanta out-shot Lazio 10-6, while Lazio created more big chances (2-1). Both teams put three shots on target and split possession almost evenly.
Set pieces and late moments told the story. Corners went 3-1 for Atalanta, and the second half saw all four goals. With the aggregate now level, any advantage in transitions or dead balls could decide the semifinal.
Numbers that matter
Atalanta’s Coppa Italia run has been efficient: 9 goals scored and just 2 conceded across three matches, plus two clean sheets. Their pass accuracy sits at 86% with 53% average possession, and they’ve produced 9 big chances while hitting the woodwork three times.
Lazio have 4 goals for and 3 against in the cup, with a tidy 87% pass accuracy. They’re strong in duels (52% won) and hit long balls well (66% accuracy), though crossing output has been low (13% accuracy). Discipline has been controlled in the cup so far, and with referee Andrea Colombo having shown 588 yellows and 22 reds in 117 games, game management will matter.
Projected lineups and tactical themes
Lineups are not confirmed, but Atalanta are listed in a 3-4-2-1 with Marco Carnesecchi behind a back three of Giorgio Scalvini, Berat Djimsiti and Sead Kolasinac. Width should come from Raoul Bellanova and Davide Zappacosta, with Marten de Roon and Éderson in midfield and Charles De Ketelaere supporting forwards Giacomo Raspadori and Nikola Krstović.
Lazio are shown in a 4-3-3 with Edoardo Motta in goal, Mario Gila and Alessio Romagnoli at center-back, and Nuno Tavares on the left. Danilo Cataldi and Kenneth Taylor provide control in midfield, while a front line featuring Tijjani Noslin, Matteo Cancellieri and Mattia Zaccagni offers movement and combination play.
