Serie A Preview: Roma vs Atalanta – Team News, Lineups & Prediction

Indeed, Gian Piero Gasperini’s men currently trail fourth-placed Juventus by three points and could overtake Cesc Fabregas’ side with a win against the Italian veteran’s former club. Roma bounced back from a humiliating 5-2 loss at Inter with a dominant 3-0 home win over relegation-threatened Pisa last weekend. However, that victory has maintained an ominous trend, as the Giallorossi have alternated between winning and losing in their last four league outings.

To boost their top-four quest, they must stop this run tonight. Gasperini lost to his former side in January’s reverse fixture in Bergamo, falling to a narrow 1-0 defeat, which puts Roma at risk of suffering a second consecutive league double at the hands of Atalanta. Sitting on the periphery of the top six, four points adrift of their hosts, La Dea cannot settle for anything less if they’re to avoid the ignominy of missing out on European qualification.

Atalanta’s lofty ambitions took a hit last weekend, as they slipped to a frustrating 1-0 home loss to Juventus, surrendering a four-game unbeaten league streak in the process (W2, D2). Match Preview Roma Last weekend’s thumping victory over Pisa extended Roma’s unbeaten run in Serie A to nine matches (W7, D2). Furthermore, they’ve now kept an eye-catching 14 league clean sheets this season, with only Como and runaway leaders Inter surpassing their impressive defensive tally.

However, Roma have often lacked that defensive stability in high-profile fixtures this term. Indeed, Gasperini’s men have registered just one shutout against current top-seven sides during the 2025/26 campaign, picking up one victory across 11 such games (D3, L7). Atalanta’s visit paints an even bleaker picture for Roma, who have failed to win all seven meetings with La Dea since the start of the 2022/23 season (D1, L6), including four defeats in a row.
