AS Roma find themselves in turbulent waters, enduring a five-match winless streak that has cast a shadow over their campaign.
Their recent Europa League clash against Tottenham Hotspur seemed destined to add another defeat to their woes until new signing Mats Hummels stepped up with a crucial debut goal, salvaging a 2-2 draw.
The club’s Serie A form, however, remains deeply concerning. A narrow 1-0 loss to Napoli was followed by a disheartening 3-2 defeat at the hands of Bologna, further compounding their struggles.
With morale hanging by a thread, Roma now faces a pivotal home fixture against Atalanta BC, a match that offers not just the chance for redemption but also the opportunity to reignite their faltering season.
The reigning Europa League champions, Atalanta BC, have emerged as one of the most formidable and improved teams in Europe. Currently sitting second in the Serie A standings, they are just one point adrift of leaders Napoli, keeping the race for the top spot intensively competitive.
Atalanta ‘s campaign has been nothing short of stellar, boasting an impressive record of nine wins from 13 matches and an exceptional goal difference of +18—the highest in the league.
Their attacking prowess is unmatched, with a remarkable tally of 34 goals, highlighting their clinical edge in front of goal.
Roma have a 44% win accuracy win over Atalanta. Atalanta won all of their last five matches. Roma are winless in the last five games.
For Roma , Mario Hermoso will be absent due to injury concerns. For Atalanta, Davide Zappacosta and Gianluca Scamacca are set to miss the upcoming game.
