Roma hosts Atalanta today in a crucial Serie A match at Stadio Olimpico. Both teams are fighting for European qualification, making this encounter vital.
As of midday, Roma sits just three points behind fourth-placed Juventus. They come off a strong 3-0 victory over Pisa, where Donyell Malen scored a hat-trick.
In contrast, Atalanta lost their last match 1-0 against Juventus. They have not won against Roma in their last seven meetings since March 2022.
Roma’s defense has been impressive this season, keeping 14 clean sheets. Their recent form shows an alternating pattern of wins and losses in the last four league outings.
Yet, Atalanta struggles on the road—winning only two of their last ten away games across all competitions. They have also scored one goal or fewer in four consecutive away matches against Roma.
Injuries could play a significant role. Roma’s injury list includes key players like Paulo Dybala and Lorenzo Pellegrini. Meanwhile, Atalanta is missing Isak Hien and Kamaldeen Sulemana.
This match is pivotal not just for standings but also for emotions—Gian Piero Gasperini’s departure after nine years with Atalanta adds another layer of significance to the game.
Details remain unconfirmed about any last-minute changes to lineups or tactics. Fans will be watching closely as kick-off approaches at 19:45 UK time (20:45 CEST).
