Both teams are enjoying a good season so far and games like this could be decisive. Here's the preview for Atalanta - Roma!
Atalanta and Roma should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Atalanta form and stats
Atalanta, who have the most scored goals (61) in Serie A, have played 11 Serie A games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-2-4 (wins-draws-losses).
Happy days for Atalanta in their previous game, a Serie A match away at Fiorentina (placed 14th) that ended with a 2-1 victory. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 2-2 versus Genoa.
Manager G. Gasperini felt very clever after Ruslan Malinovskyi scored the winning goal against Fiorentina, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 64th minute.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Atalanta have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found seven games) they have won three times, drawn two and lost two.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Atalanta as they have a new game in only four days, a Champions League match thankfully also at home. Valencia are visiting.
Goals are plentiful at KKWing Stadium in the league this season as Atalanta has scored 31 goals here in 11 home games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 18 goals have been conceded.
Roma form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Serie A travels is 6 wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats.
Roma failed to get anything from their last game, a Serie A home match vs Bologna (placed 7th) that ended with defeat 2-3. Prior to that match, the Roma manager P. Rodrigues Fonseca faced defeat when travelling to Sassuolo and losing 2-4.
Roma are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is zero wins, three draws and one defeat. From a total of four matches.
Roma has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 20 goals from 11 games. Roma have conceded 11 goals in these away matches.
Head 2 Head
This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Roma - Atalanta 0-2. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: four wins for Atalanta, five draws and one win for Roma. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games.Top Goalscorers
