Atalanta v Roma Preview and Prediction

Date/Time: Sunday 27^th January 2019 (Kick-off 2 PM)

On Sunday afternoon, Atalanta and Roma clash in a match that could prove pivotal in the race for European places in Serie A this season.

Atalanta are currently seventh place in the Italian top-flight table, two points behind their fifth-placed opponents. A win could potentially move the team from Bergamo into the top-four if results go their way this weekend.

Atalanta heads into this encounter on the back of a three-game unbeaten run in Serie A. Last time our Gian Piero Gasperini’s side won 5-0 at Frosinone. It was their third straight league in which the home side scored at least two goals.

Atalanta’s recent home form has been inconsistent, but they have won three of their last five league matches on home soil.

Top Football Bookmakers

Roma are just one point outside of the Champions League spots. The Giallorossi have hit form of late, winning their last four matches in all competitions, including their last three matches in Serie A.

The team from the Italian capital have also scored at least two goals in all four of their straight victories. Eusebio Di Francesco’s team have won just one of their last six matches on their travels in Serie A. However, that one win came in a 2-0 win at Parma in their last away match.

Prediction

Away win and/or over 2.5 goals
