Atalanta vs Roma Betting Tips and Predictions

Home wins against Bologna and, surprisingly, AC Milan, have edged Atalanta up the Serie A table and away from the relegation zone, although 36 points might not quite be enough to ensure they will be in the top division next year.

Those successive victories broke a run of 14 league games without a win and Edy Reja’s side should be looking up the league table now, rather than down, but the visit of third-placed Roma will be a huge test. Atalanta have only kept one clean sheet in their last seven games and it is difficult to see them keeping Roma out on Sunday.

Five straight away wins means Roma might well be glad of the chance to hit the road again, as Luciano Spalletti’s side have drawn their last two league games at home. Third place looks in the bag for Roma with six league games to play, but it is not impossible for Inter to catch them and steal the final Champions League qualification place – they have a six-point cushion over Inter.

Roma have looked in good shape of late and against such moderate opposition it is easy to find reasons to side with them for this match. That away form is as impressive as any side in Europe right now, with Sassuolo and Lazio among the sides Roma have beaten away of late.

On paper Roma are much stronger than Atalanta and, despite the hosts’ recent home wins, they should prove it in this match. Our selection for Atalanta vs Roma in Serie A is Roma to win at 3/4 with Betfair, while the same bookmaker offers Roma to win 2-0 at 7/1.
