Roma vs Atalanta prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups – December 2, 2024
As part of the 14th round of the Italian Serie A, a match between Roma and Atalanta will take place in Rome on Monday, December 2. The game is scheduled to kick off at 20:45 CET. I suggest betting on the total goals scored in this match.
Match Preview
Since Claudio Ranieri took over as Roma's head coach, the team has played two matches but has yet to secure a victory. In their game against Napoli, the "Giallorossi" suffered a defeat, but they managed to battle Tottenham to a 2-2 draw in the Europa League.
In Serie A, Roma's situation is critical: 13 points in 13 games and only 12th place in the standings. Turning the team's fortunes around will not be easy for the new coach, especially with a challenging schedule ahead.
Atalanta, on the other hand, has been outstanding this season and is just one point behind league leaders Napoli, whom they recently defeated 3-0. Notably, the "Goddess" is the league's top-scoring team with 34 goals.
Summer signing Mateo Retegui has been exceptional, already scoring 16 goals for his new club. In their recent Champions League game against Young Boys, Charles De Ketelaere delivered a phenomenal performance, making him a player Roma should be wary of.
Match Facts
- Roma is winless in their last five matches.
- Atalanta is on a seven-match winning streak.
- Roma averages 1.2 goals per game at home, while Atalanta averages 3.2 goals per game away.
Probable Lineups
- Roma: Svilar, Mancini, Ndicka, Hummels, Angelino, Celik, Paredes, Koné, El Shaarawy, Dybala, Dovbyk.
- Atalanta: Carnesecchi, Kossounou, Gyim, Kolasinac, Ruggeri, Bellanova, De Roon, Pasalic, De Ketelaere, Lookman, Retegui.
Head-to-Head
In their last four encounters, there has been one draw and three victories for Atalanta.
Prediction
Atalanta is in excellent form, but Roma cannot afford another loss in front of their home crowd. My bet is on Atalanta's individual total of over 1 goal.
