Roma - Atalanta predictions

While the scales seem somewhat tipped in the hosts’ favour, the win is anyone’s to take. Statistically speaking, all 3 outcomes to this match are quite possible, making reliable betting predictions hard to come by.

While Atalanta may manage to claw their way to a win yet, it will be quite a struggle. As we can see thanks to the 3.10 betting odds for an away win, the odds are stacked against them – though it’s still manageable.

The hosts have a chance to make amends for the Juventus defeat from the previous round. It was another home game for Roma but it did not go the way fans had hoped for. Their team conceded early in the first half and did not get a chance to get back in the game which ended up with a single-goal deficit.

The visitors are coming off from a slightly underwhelming result in the previous round of the Serie A. They did beat Lecce, but struggled to get their foot in front during the first half and ended up grabbing three points thanks to a slim, one-goal margin (1:0).

With over 5 goals over their past 3 home games, The Giallorossi is not a team you want to meet at home. They’ll be looking to extend this trend as much as possible, so Atalanta will need to be careful.

With their most recent track record in mind, Atalanta tend to perform quite well offensively. Their previous 3 home games featured at least 5 goals in total.

The 3 points Roma need to get to the Europa League don’t seem like much, but getting them is easier said than done. Thankfully, they’ll have plenty of chances to do so, though many will be just as difficult as this showdown on Sunday.

The visitors will be playing at a disadvantage this Sunday, so it’s not likely that they’ll climb up the table to get to a Europa League qualification any time soon. There’s still close to half the season ahead of them, though, so they’ll have plenty of chances either way.

We’ll have to go with last season’s results as a basis for head-to-head statistics and those were full of surprising results. Despite their current status as underdogs, Atalanta won a match in the previous season with a considerable advantage.

The visitors have to contend with several injuries. Rafael Tolói, Giorgio Scalvini, El Toure are the players that will be missing, which makes the Atalanta lineup somewhat weaker than usual. This is made far worse because they were considered undergods going in either way.

Though a Home Win seems like a sure bet here, we would advise securing it additionally with a Draw No Bet. The Giallorossi have been known to lack consistency at times, so removing the possibility of a draw is well worth reducing the odds to 1.
