Roma vs Atalanta Prediction over a stretch of 35 matches, the “She-wolf” has been stronger than its opponent 15 times, while the “Queen of the Provincials” won in 12 cases. However, recently Atalanta has started consistently taking points from Roma – 3 wins and 1 draw in the previous two seasons.
Roma
Claudio Ranieri did not choose the best time to return to Roma. The team is in a crisis situation, currently occupying a place in the lower half of the Serie A standings, and the club’s management has already dismissed two head coaches (Daniele De Rossi and Ivan Juric) since the start of the season. However, the “She-wolf” performed quite well in the initial matches under the Italian specialist’s guidance. On November 24, Roma narrowly lost away to Napoli, the league leader (0-1), and on November 28 in England, they even took points from Tottenham in the Europa League (2-2). Moreover, the team could have defeated the English side, but due to offsides, 2 goals were disallowed. Regarding the upcoming clash, the “She-wolf” will only be without Mario Hermoso (injury) and Niccolò Pisilli (suspension due to yellow cards).
Atalanta
The Italian Championship can rightly be called the most competitive league in the world these days. After thirteen rounds played, there was only a one-point difference between teams from first to fifth places. Undoubtedly, Atalanta is also on this list, having not tasted defeat for a long time. The “Queen of the Provincials” has not lost for 12 matches, achieving positive results in 10 cases. In the previous round, for example, Gian Piero Gasperini’s team had no serious problems away against Parma (3-1), and a few days ago in the Champions League, they left Young Boys with nothing (6-1). Additionally, Atalanta’s list of injured players has noticeably shortened. In the upcoming clash, only Gianluca Scamacca will be unavailable, but he is expected to return to action soon.
Prediction on Goals
Atalanta is the most prolific team in the Italian Championship. In terms of goals scored, they have 34, meaning the “Queen of the Provincials” scores an average of 2.62 goals per game. Moreover, Gian Piero Gasperini’s team has scored at least 2 goals in their last 7 matches. Even Napoli at home had to retrieve the ball from their own net 3 times (0-3). Therefore, our betting option is Atalanta’s total over 1.5 goals.
Prediction on Corners
Despite their ultra-attacking football, Atalanta is not known for being corner enthusiasts. The team approaches the corner flag an average of 4.8 times and ranks tenth in Serie A in this aspect. Roma, in turn, is among the worst teams in the league (3.6 corners per match). In this situation, you can bet on total corners under 9.5.
Editorial Prediction
Atalanta is considered a slight favorite in the upcoming clash. Our editorial team understands the principle behind the odds and bookmakers’ concerns. Roma will play on their home turf and under Claudio Ranieri’s guidance showed two relatively decent matches. Nevertheless, the team’s performance still leaves much to be desired. The “She-wolf” does not perform well defensively, as even Tottenham managed to achieve an xG of 3.74 (2-2). Gian Piero Gasperini’s team is in peak form. They have achieved 7 confident victories in a row, and their last defeat was recorded back at the end of September – against Como (2-3). We believe the game will end with a score of 1-2.
