It is a congested race for the Champions League in the Italian Serie A, and AS Roma will be hoping to make it there. They’ll be gunning for three points when they get to host other top four contestants Atalanta. Roma have 54 points going to this game and are placed seventh while Atalanta have managed 64 points, in 3rd place. The hosts mismanaged their last match as they went on to lose 3-1 away to Torino. They led 1-0 in the third minute but struggled to create anything of note, thereafter crumbling in the second half and conceding thrice. Their day was further soiled with a late red card to Amadou Diawara, which rules him out of this game. In Serie A action, Roma have one win in the last five matches; they’ve lost three. They have scored one goal or less in the last four league matches at home and head to this game without a win against the sides above them this season.

As Roma plot for a win to enhance their top four chances, Atalanta will also be up hoping to keep their place there and after the late win over Juventus, it is clear they know what they want, and are going for it. Second placed Milan are just two points above Atalanta and La Dea may even raise the target. Atalanta are the leading scorers in Serie A with 72 goals, but they haven’t matched this with their defending; in the top five, they have the most porous defence, having conceded 38 goals. Going to this game though, they are on five straight wins in the league and Daniel Zapata will be a key man, coming here with four goals in the last four matches. Atalanta’s last five matches have seen over 2.5 goals realized in three and away from home in the league, they have nine wins in the 15 played. They’ve lost once in the last six away league matches and will be confident going to Rome, with a run of three straight wins against Roma and unbeaten in six.
