AS Roma
Atalanta
Contents
- Competition: Serie A
- Date: Sunday, 7th January 2024
- Kickoff: 19:45 UK/20:45 CET
- Venue: Stadio Olimpico (Rome)
AS Roma enjoyed another robust season. Although they are not contenders for the Serie A title, they are only five points away from the fourth spot that could secure them a place in the Champions League, a prospect that would undoubtedly please them. Winning two out of their last three matches in all competitions, AS Roma has shown their prowess. Their recent 2-1 victory at home against Cremonese in the cup on Wednesday demonstrates this. With an xG of 3.30 against Cremonese’s 0.40, Mourinho’s team arguably should have won by a larger margin. This strong performance should boost AS Roma’s confidence ahead of their Sunday match against Atalanta, potentially moving them up one or two places on the table.
This season, Atalanta share similarities with AS Roma. In fact, they are just a single point ahead of their upcoming rivals. Recently, Atalanta’s performance has been outstanding, with victories in five out of their last six matches across all competitions. In the Coppa Italia, they triumphed over Sassuolo 3-1 in a home game. Like AS Roma, they too show a dominant presence in the cup tie. Atalanta had an xG of 3.16, significantly higher than their opponents’ 0.40.
AS Roma vs Atalanta pick: AS Roma to win AH (0)
AS Roma have been exceptional at Olimpico this season. They’ve secured wins in ten of their last 11 home games under Jose Mourinho’s leadership. Conversely, Atalanta have only managed two wins out of their previous seven away matches. While both teams are exhibiting good form recently, AS Roma stand a better chance to triumph in Sunday’s match against Atalanta, thanks to their impressive home record.

AS Roma team news
Jose Mourinho utilized the cup tie against Cremonese as an opportunity to rest several players. It also served as a chance for some players, who hadn’t played a significant role this season, to participate. We can anticipate Mourinho to deploy his strongest team for Sunday’s challenging match against Atalanta.
In the forthcoming Serie A match, Chris Smalling and Tammy Abraham will not participate due to injuries.

Atalanta team news
Gian Piero Gasperini, the head coach of Atalanta, didn’t make many changes to his team during the cup tie, but the absence of several key players was quite noticeable. The most conspicuous absences were that of Teun Koopmeiners and Matteo Ruggeri, two players who have been regulars throughout the season. It’s anticipated that both players will resume their spots in the starting lineup for the forthcoming Serie A tie.
Atalanta also have a few players absent. Injuries have made Jose Luis Palomino and Hans Hateboer unavailable, while the playing status of Rafael Toloi and El Bilal Toure is uncertain.
