Head-to-Head
Roma maintains a historical advantage with a record of 24 wins, 17 losses, and 10 draws in the 51 previous encounters against Atalanta. However, Atalanta secured a double victory over Roma in the last season, triumphing 1-0 at the Stadio Olimpico and claiming a 3-1 win in the reverse fixture.

Team Analysis
A closely contested battle is anticipated as Roma welcomes Atalanta in a Serie A fixture on Sunday. Despite both teams displaying good form, Atalanta is currently without their top scorer, Ademola Lookman. Considering Atalanta's recent struggles away from home, Roma is poised with confidence to emerge victorious. Roma initiated 2024 with a 2-1 win against Cremonese in a midweek Coppa Italia fixture, overcoming a deficit with goals from Romelu Lukaku and a penalty by Paulo Dybala. Although Roma's recent performances have been somewhat inconsistent, they have managed to maintain a strong record at the Stadio Olimpico, securing 10 wins and a draw in their last 11 matches across all competitions, including a notable 2-0 victory over Champions Napoli.

Atalanta continued their successful run in the Coppa Italia with a 3-1 triumph over Sassuolo on Wednesday, even in the absence of top scorer Ademola Lookman, who is representing Nigeria at AFCON. Charles De Ketelaere's brace and a goal from Aleksey Miranchuk showcased Atalanta's attacking prowess. With five wins in their last six matches across all competitions, Atalanta sits one point above Roma in the Serie A standings, only four points away from the Champions League places. However, Atalanta faces a challenge in their away performances, having secured only one win in their last five Serie A away matches, losing the previous two, including a 1-0 defeat to Bologna.

Odds Analysis
Roma is favored among the bookmakers. Both teams boast quality in attack, suggesting that betting on both teams to score could be a viable option.
