Atalanta vs Roma: prediction for the Serie A fixture
Atalanta haven't lost to Roma in seven straight games. Can the hosts earn points on December 18? Our answer is in the prediction below.
Command Analysis
Atalanta
ItalyAtalanta lost a large number of points in the starting rounds of Serie A, but they managed to pick up form and at the moment Gian Piero Gasperini's team is 3rd in the league table. They are only 3 points behind the current leader Inter Milan, and AC Milan are at the distance of two points. This means that Atalanta still have a chance to win the Scudetto this year.
On the other hand, the 4th Napoli are only one point behind, so Atalanta can lose their spot in the top-3 after this round. La Dea have been amazing in the last month; they mounted a winning streak that has reached six games. In the last round, Atalanta beat Verona (2:1).
Atalanta's campaign in Europe wasn't successful. They lost to Villarreal in the last match of the Champions League group round (2:3), thus failing to qualify for the playoffs.
Roma
ItalyRoma, on the contrary, had a great start to the season, but have been unimpressive of late. Currently Jose Mourinho's men are 6th in the standings with 28 points to their name, eight points behind the Champions League zone. It is still possible to finish 4th, but the Wolves have been suffering a dip in form and their recent results are nothing to write home about.
In the 15th round, Roma lost to Bologna (0:1) away. Then they got crushed by Inter Milan (0:3) at home. In the last round, they broke the losing streak and celebrated success over Spezia (2:0), which allowed them to overtake Juventus in the standings.

Our prediction - Atalanta to win
Atalanta are coming into this fixture as favourites. They are on top form, and they have been successful against Roma in recent years. However, we do not expect a crushing victory, but rather a narrow win, since Roma are more than capable of putting up a fight.
