Atalanta vs Roma could be the big match this week, where both teams are trying to get tickets to the Champions League, but the chance of this match ending in a draw is wide open, or Atalanta winning three points because the home match will give Atalanta an advantage.
Atalanta seems to have had better results in the last few matches than Roma, but we can see that Atalanta is facing a relatively weak team so they can win three times in a row, but Roma failed to beat Atalanta in the first meeting this season so the match at Atalanta's home ground will be even more difficult for Roma to defeat its opponent.
Currently Atalanta and Roma have the same points in Serie A, but due to the greater goal difference, Atalanta is currently ranked higher than Roma. So this match will be very decisive for both teams, to have a greater chance of getting tickets to compete in the UCL. At Atalanta and Roma's first meeting this season, it was true that the match ended in a draw (1-1), at that time Roma was the host. However, at this meeting, Atalanta will be the host, which will certainly be more profitable for Atalanta. So the Roma players will definitely have to fight extra hard in this match, because if they lose or draw in this match, Roma's path to getting a ticket to the UCL will definitely be even more difficult.
However, if you look at the performance of Roma, currently coached by De Rossi, I think Roma will provide different resistance to Atalanta. The reason is, after De Rossi coached Roma, the performance of his players improved very rapidly. Apart from that, when Roma played against Atalanta in the previous meeting, as far as I remember, Roma was still under the guidance of Mourinho. And under Mourinho, Roma's performance was not good so it was natural that they were held to a draw by Atalanta. However, Roma's performance is now much better than at that time, so the possibility of Roma winning the match against Atalanta is also very big in this match.
