Form and Lineup of Roma
Roma have been very inconsistent in their last eight matches, with only two wins (both against relegation candidates). The most worrying thing is that in this spell they conceded at least two goals in five games. Svilar's goalkeeping magic has run out, and constant injuries are preventing the defensive line from establishing proper chemistry. On top of that, Pellegrini has picked up another injury (7+4 in all competitions). He is the link between defence and attack, and it is unlikely that veteran El Shaarawy (1+2) will be able fully to replace him.
Important numbers for Roma:
Roma are third in the league for points collected at home (35).
Mile Svilar has the best save percentage (77.6) and is fifth for goals prevented (4.9).
Roma are third for possessions won in the final third (4.4) and second for interceptions (9.1).
Potential Roma lineup (3-4-3): Svilar – Ghilardi, Ndicka, Hermoso – Celik, Cristante, Pisilli, Reinsh – Sule, El Shaarawy, Malen.
Unavailable: Dovbyk, Dybala, Ferguson, Kone, Wesley (all injured), Mancini (doubtful).
Form and Lineup of Atalanta
In the last round Atalanta failed to cope with Juventus (0:1), which was their first setback in Serie A in 2026. However, there is definitely no reason for the fans to panic. The visitors were superior to the Old Lady in every department and somehow failed to score (22-7 in shots). Such a slap in the face will only add motivation to the team.
Important numbers for Atalanta:
Atalanta are second in the league for accurate long passes per match (26.4).
Atalanta are third for touches in the opposition box (28.5).
Nikola Krstovic has scored nine goals (fourth-best tally in Serie A).
Potential Atalanta lineup (3-4-3): Carnesecchi – Scalvini, Djimsiti, Kolasinac – Zappacosta, De Roon, Ederson, Bernasconi – De Ketelaere, Zalewski, Krstovic.
Unavailable: Sulemana (injured), Hien (doubtful).
