Roma will host Atalanta at Stadio Olimpico in their Serie A match 28 tie on Saturday night with kickoff at 20:00.
Roma are coming off a 1-0 away win against Spezia at away last Sunday with Tammy Abraham making no mistake from the 12 yard spot in the last minute of the game. The win ended their four-match winless run across all competitions while ending their three successive Serie A draws.
Jose Mourinho’s side have now gone unbeaten in their last six league matches, claiming three wins and three draws, and as a result the capital club climbed into the sixth-place in the standings, with six points keeping them out of the Champions League places.
Therefore they will be looking to keep their push for the top-four places with a another positive result on the weekend, although they face Atalanta a side they have not beaten at Stadio Olimpico in the last seven encounters.
However, the Giallorossi did claim a 4-1 victory over Atalanta in the reverse fixture earlier this season and will be looking to perform a double on their Saturday visitors for the first time since the 2012/13 season.
The Nerazzurri are coming a rampant 4-0 victory against Sampdoria at home last Monday night. The marked their third victory in their last four matches across all competitions, while it ended their five-match winless run the Serie A.
Their inconsistency got them kicked out of the top-four and they now sit in fifth on 47 points with three points behind the fourth-placed Juventus and three above their Saturday hosts.
Therefore they will be hoping to build on momentum gained from recent results across all competitions with another positive result on Saturday as they look to stay in touch with the top-four.
