Why Shots On Target Are Very Important In Live Soccer Betting

Tearing it up in the league this season, Roma have quickly risen to fourth-place on the standings, and are putting forth a strong title challenge. Their brilliant start to the campaign can be attributed to the players’ unwavering resilience.

While Fonseca will already be dreaming of a fairytale run to the Scudetto, he has to motivate the lads to keep their heads down, and approach every game one at a time. A tie against high-flying Atalanta on the horizon, La Lupa will be bringing their A-game to Bergamo come kickoff.

Atalanta vs AS Roma Team News

Enjoying brilliant spells over the past two seasons, Atalanta have successfully established themselves as one of the heavyweights in the Serie A. In fact, they are becoming regular fixtures in the Champions League, having participated in the competition twice in a row.

Props to Gian Piero Gasperini for turning this Atalanta side from midtable outfits to title challengers in the space of few months. With another campaign up and running, the challenge remains the same for Gasperini, who will be looking to get his side into the top-four.

So far, they aren’t performing well in the division, and are already miles off the league summit. Perhaps, they can already kiss the Serie A trophy goodbye as a whopping ten points separate them from table-toppers AC Milan.

Last seen in action against Juventus, the Goddess delivered a top-drawer performance to hold reigning champions Juventus to a one-all draw. After Chiesa had fired the Old Lady in front, Atalanta’s Freuler found the equalizer inside 57 minutes.

Indeed, La Dea should have lost the game had Cristiano Ronaldo converted from the spot after Juventus were gifted a penalty in the dying minutes. Having squeezed a point against such a strong opposition, the Goddess can look forward to building on that result.

Standing in their way this weekend will be AS Roma, who are operating much better than them so far. They currently sit fourth on the log with 24 points from 12 games, and are only inches away from the league summit.

Morale is high within the Giallorossi’s camp, who will be keen on building momentum with a favorable result over a top side in Atalanta. They easily overcame Torino 3-1 on the last matchday. More of the same from La Lupa, and they should be celebrating victory at fulltime.

Injured or Suspended Players

Atalanta: Mattia Caldara, Mario Pasalic, Matteo Ruggeri and Marco Tumminello.
AS Roma: Nicolo Zaniolo and Javier Pastore.

Atalanta vs AS Roma Predictions

Still trying to get into their rhythm, Atalanta have been far from convincing this season. That said, they have actually proven to be a handful for other heavyweights in the league, holding the likes of Inter Milan and Juventus to draws.

However, it is worth noting that those two teams were enduring difficult spells at the time. Now, Roma are in the form of their lives, and scoring goals for fun. We will go out on a limb to tip AS Roma for victory.
