Player Stats

Romelu Lukaku stands out as one of only two players, alongside Ademola Lookman, who have achieved the feat of scoring at least four goals and providing a minimum of four assists in this Serie A season. The Napoli striker, who netted a goal in the most recent round of the championship, has already scored in both of his initial appearances this season, against Parma and Cagliari.

Mateo Retegui has netted four goals in his initial five away matches of this championship. In the context of the three-point system for victories, only two players from Atalanta have surpassed this achievement in their first six away games in Serie A: Germán Denis, who scored six goals in 2011, and Luis Muriel, who found the net five times in 2019.

In the upcoming match, Marten de Roon is set to make his 281st appearance in Serie A, thereby matching Stefano Angeleri's record of 281 appearances, placing them both at the top among Atalanta players for the most games played in the tournament's history, excluding play-offs.
