When making a prediction for Atalanta - Roma, we study their match history, which makes it easier to choose the right option. In the first round, their confrontation turned out to be quite dull, with almost no scoring opportunities, and it was decided by the only goal of Bergamo's central defender Scalvini at the end of the first half. Last year, Roma was stronger away 4-1 and then at home 1-0.
Atalanta
Atalanta was definitely counting on securing a Champions League spot this season – the team did not participate in European competitions, and this was supposed to be their main advantage. The start of the season was more than decent for “La Dea”, but it didn’t last long – the Bergamo side fell into a crisis in the first half of the season and dropped out of the top four. The situation did not change significantly in the second half of the season – “Atalanta” had a few decent matches, but there were more failures in the games against weaker opponents. Thus, “Atalanta” is currently seventh in the table with 49 points and is seven points behind fourth-placed “Roma”. In the last round, “La Dea” drew 1-1 with “Fiorentina”, failing to win for the second match in a row.

Roma
Roma, like their opponent today, had a bet on finishing in the top four, but unlike “Atalanta”, Jos? Mourinho’s team is currently coping with their task. Overall, the “wolves” had a relatively stable first half of the season, avoiding long losing streaks, and after the winter break, they even managed to improve – at the start of the 31st round, the Romans were in fourth place in the table. “Roma” has not yet guaranteed a Champions League spot – fifth-placed “Milan” has three points less, while “Inter” is five points behind, and “Atalanta” is seven points behind. Last week, “Roma” secured the right to play in the Europa League semifinals. After a 0-1 defeat to “Feyenoord” in Rotterdam, the Romans managed to win 2-1 in regulation time, and then scored twice in extra time.

Prediction
Our expert pick:
Due to Juventus being awarded 15 points back, Atalanta fell out of the top six, making the situation critical for them. However, a victory over Roma could not only keep them in the race for a Champions League spot, but also bring them closer to the fifth position. Today's match is the first final of the season for the home team. Despite all the problems, Atalanta can fight at home and play effectively in attack. Roma is not perfect in defense, and the hosts are unlikely to be left without goals. We believe that the guests will not leave dry. Our prediction is that Atalanta's individual total will be over one goal. 1xBet offers this outcome at a coefficient of 1.65. Atalanta is in a situation where they have no room for error - they still hope to compete for European competitions. Motivation will undoubtedly be at its peak, and the goddess will certainly try to show their maximum potential today. Roma has expended a lot of energy in the 120-minute match against Feyenoord, and they have only won one out of their last eight away matches. Therefore, it makes sense to give preference to Atalanta. Our second bet will be on Atalanta to win. This outcome is offered at a coefficient of 2.31. Place a bet on the line of 1xBet with odds of 1.65. Promo code for registration - ODDS2WIN.
