In the match of the seventh round of Serie A, Roma will host Atalanta in Rome.
"Roma"Jose Mourinho's team, after the disastrous start of September, began to gradually improve the results.
In the last round, the Rome club had a difficult away match against Empoli, but still achieved a victory with a score of 2:1. Already in the 17th minute of the meeting, Paulo Dybala opened the score. Then Roma calmed down pretty quickly and gradually lost control of the game, which at the end of the first half allowed Empoli to win back, it happened in the 43rd minute. In the second half, Roma was not immediately able to start creating good chances on the opponent's field again, and in general, it cannot be said that Wolves completely outplayed their opponent in this match. However, in the 71st minute of the meeting with the transfer of Paulo Dybala, Tammy Abraham again put Roma ahead. Already in the 80th minute of the meeting, Wolves earned a penalty, but it did not work out to get rid of the nervous ending of the match, Lorenzo Pellegrini shot above the goal from the "point". As a result, at the end of the match, Roma could have missed the victory, but luck was on the side of Wolves. Jean-Daniel Akpa-Akpro first hit the post with a shot from outside the penalty area, and soon the Empoli midfielder received a direct red card for a dangerous game. As a result, already in the minority, the home team could not pull out the game.
After this match, Roma scored 13 points and now Jose Mourinho's team shares 4-5 places with Udinese.
Also on the 15th, Roma slightly improved their affairs in the international arena. In the second round of the Europa League group stage, Wolves defeated HIC from Finland on their own field. At the same time, already in the 14th minute, Roma was in the majority. The Wolves attacked quite a lot, but they could only start scoring in the second half. In the 47th minute, Paulo Dybala opened the scoring with a pass from Lorenzo Pellegrini, who entered the field only after the break. And two minutes later Lorenzo Pellegrini himself scored. In the 68th minute, Andrea Belotti, assisted by Nicolo Zagnolo, was able to score his first goal for Roma. Then Roma decided to slow down and not smash the Finnish club to the end.
"Atalanta"As for Gian-Piero Gasperini's team, Atalanta unexpectedly lost points in the last round.
Atalanta managed to draw with one of the main outsiders of this season, Cremonese, on their own field in Bergamo, the meeting ended with a score of 1:1. At the same time, it cannot be said that Gasperini's team played with an absolutely overwhelming advantage against an outsider. All the most interesting things in this meeting happened in the second half. In the 64th minute of the meeting, Ten Kopmeiners opened the score in the match, but this goal was canceled due to a violation of the rules, there was a clear hand play. However, after ten minutes, Atalanta still scored a goal according to all the rules. This time Ten Kopmainers made an assist on Merich Demiral. However, already in the 78th minute, Cremonese managed to win back, which was a shock for Gasperini's team, which at the end of the match could not snatch a victory so necessary for itself.
As a result, Atalanta missed the chance to become the sole leaders of Serie A. Now the team from Bergamo with 14 points shares 1-3 places with Napoli and Milan.
Between themselves, "Roma" and "Atalanta" last played on March fifth as part of the 28th round of Serie A. Then the Roman club won a minimal victory with a score of 1-0 on its field.
ForecastRoma has finally started to show at least occasionally a good game in attack, and Atalanta does not need to play for another draw at all, given that this is a match with a direct competitor before the pause for the matches of national teams.
In this meeting, both teams should give their all and try to get an important victory, we have the right to expect a bright game, and therefore we suggest you put more than 2.5 goals on the total.
