AS Roma and Atalanta, the contrasting form of both teams sets the stage for an intriguing encounter. Roma currently finds itself in a precarious position, sitting 12th in the league with only 13 points from 12 matches . This marks their worst start to a season this century, characterized by a troubling trend of conceding early goals. Despite salvaging a draw against Tottenham midweek, their domestic performance has been dismal, with three consecutive league defeats and no wins in five matches .
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 and offering a glimmer of hope amid the gloom.
Claudio Ranieri, there has been a positive shift in mentality and home fans can stay hopeful. In Ranieri’s first game in charge they lost 1-0 to leaders Napoli.
However, the team did well to pick a 2-2 draw away to Tottenham in the Europa League on Thursday. A poor run against Atalanta and five winless outings will be a concern for Ranieri though.

Second placed Atalanta do not relate with Roma’s problems. The last time they lost a game was in September, and a shock one it was, falling 3-2 at home to Como. It has been 12 matches since, and Atalanta only dropped points in two draws.
Predicted & Confirmed Lineups
Mats Hummels, Evan N'Dicka, Mehmet Zeki Celik, Angelino, Kouadio Kone, Bryan Cristante, Lorenzo Pellegrini, Paulo Dybala, Artem Dovbyk.
Atalanta (predicted lineup): Marco Carnesecchi, Odilon Kossounou, Isak Hien, Sead Kolasinac, Raoul Bellanova, Matteo Ruggeri, Marten de Roon, Ederson, Mario Pasalic, Mateo Retegui, Ademola Lookman.
Despite Roma’s significant form woes, they’re capable of halting Atalanta’s momentum. However, it seems no one can touch Gasperini’s charges these days as we back La Dea to maintain their rich vein of form and pour more misery on the downtrodden Giallorossi.
On the other hand, Atalanta is enjoying a remarkable run of form, boasting seven straight league victories and remaining unbeaten in European competition. Their attacking prowess is underscored by having the best scoring record in Serie A. The team's aggressive strategy could exploit Roma's defensive vulnerabilities further. While specific lineups are yet to be announced and free live streaming options are unavailable from current sources , predictions lean heavily towards an Atalanta victory due to their superior form and recent history against Roma.
