After De Rossi took over as coach, Roma managed to consistently perform well in some matches. But in recent times we have not seen good performances from Roma. The team failed to win in the last two matches. Roma players failed to perform well against Leverkusen in the semi-finals of the Europa League. And as usual Roma team is not able to play well against Atalanta in today's match.
Atalanta is leading 2-0 at the end of the first half. Atalanta's players are dominating the home matches. In the first half we only saw attacks from Atalanta's players. Roma's players could not make any strong attacks.
If they lose this match, there will be no chance for Roma to occupy the fifth place in the table. The Roma team will have to play on the Europe League platform in the next season as well.
If the end of the AS Roma season ended Serie A in the sixth place, it could be considered consistent because De Rossi only continued the work left by Jose Mourinho.
But AS Roma still has two more matches that are worth waiting for how the results are. If it fails in one of the matches from the remaining two matches, then there is no change in position in the table table.
Against Bayer Leverkusen in leg 2, AS Roma's game is far better than leg 1 which drew a 2-0 defeat.
I am happy because my hope that Roma made one goal to be 2-1 that saved my betting list because I chose Over 2.5 in the match.
This was a very important match for Roma. they were unable to win this one. I understand that they were actually giving a lot of importance to the competition of the Europa League. But there was a very good chance for them to actually finish on the fifth position of the table and actually participate in the Champions League competition. But now it is Atalanta who are most probably going to participate in the Champions League and Roma is still going to participate in the Europa League in the next season as well.
By the way, the loss for Roma in this match was pretty convincing. Because they were unable to create a lot of chances but on the other hand their opponents were creating chances out of nowhere. Great performance from Atalanta. And they definitely deserved to win this match.
For some reason, I am starting to think that the performance from Roma is going to be worse in the next season.
