Roma vs Atalanta 07.01.2024 Prediction: Serie A

Match Overview

The Stadio Olimpico in Rome will play host to a fabulous game in the Serie A when Roma take on Atalanta. The home team will fancy themselves over their opponents, but it will not be as easy a task that their supporters think it to be. Their head coach Jose Mourinho knows exactly what it takes to challenge Atalanta, and we can expect a closely-fought encounter.

Key Highlights 

Ranked 3rd in goals scored per match (1.7 goals), Roma have been unbeaten in the last 11 home games that they have played in. They have made the Stadio Olimpico a veritable fortress, and it will be quite a task for the visiting side to come here and try to eke out a point or three. Roma also average 1.7 goals per match, and this is a big positive for them.

Injury Report

Tammy Abraham and Chris Smalling, both Englishmen, are ruled out for Roma in this game. Rafael Toloi and Hans Hateboer are among some of the players who are not available for selection for Atalanta.

Prediction

Although Roma have a big advantage over their opponents in this game, we expect BTTS (both teams to score). Ranked 4th in goals scored per match (1.6 goals), Atalanta have won the previous 2 matches against Roma. This means that they will feel that they can pull off an upset here as well. Charles De Ketelaere has created the most big chances for Atalanta (6)
