AS Roma
- AS Roma have won two and lost three of their last five Serie A matches.
- AS Roma (6th, 57 points) and Atalanta Bergamo (7th, 53 points) both have plenty to play for when the two clubs meet in Serie A on Saturday afternoon.
- Roma boss Gian Piero Gasperini took over at the Stadio Olimpico in June 2025 after a successful spell at Bergamo.
- Gasperini’s arrival in the Italian capital has been a shrewd move for the Yellow and Reds as he has implemented his own high-tempo, aggressive and attack-first tactical system on Roma, who are averaging 1.62 goals per home game in Serie A this term, with 26 struck at the Olimpico.
-
Gasperini’s men have played some terrific football and are coming off a 1-0 home win over Lecce, a 5-2 defeat at Inter and a 3-0 home victory against Pisa.
- 1-0 home win over Lecce
- 5-2 defeat at Inter
- 3-0 home victory against Pisa
Atalanta
- Atalanta Bergamo have won two, drawn two and lost one of their last five league games.
- Atalanta’s last two away games have seen them unbeaten (Won 1, Draw 1) and they have conceded only 14 goals in 15 Serie A away fixtures.
Head-to-Head
Atalanta have won the last four Serie A head-to-head meetings (D1) but Roma have failed to win their last two home games against Bergamo.
Key Players
- Donyell Malen is in excellent form in front of goal and has struck five of Roma’s last 10.
- The Dutchman can make the difference and is our pick for an anytime goal on Saturday.
Betting Insights
- With the odds-on price of 2.28 on a Roma home victory, we believe the Yellow and Reds are a solid bet to edge what will be a close match.
- A low-scoring affair is anticipated, so the odds on Under 2.5 goals at 1.83 look about right too.
Prediction
- Roma are the form favorites, but Atalanta are coming off a good 1-0 home win over Hellas Verona and a 3-0 victory at Lecce, prior to their 1-0 home defeat to Juventus.
- We will take Roma to scrape a win in what could be a tense and tactical match.
