The club’s Serie A form, however, remains deeply concerning. A narrow 1-0 loss to Napoli was followed by a disheartening 3-2 defeat at the hands of Bologna, further compounding their struggles. With morale hanging by a thread, Roma now face a pivotal home fixture against Atalanta BC, a match that offers not just the chance for redemption but also the opportunity to reignite their faltering season.

The reigning Europa League champions, Atalanta BC, have emerged as one of the most formidable and improved teams in Europe. Currently sitting second in the Serie A standings, they are just one point adrift of leaders Napoli, keeping the race for the top spot intensively competitive.

Atalanta‘s campaign has been nothing short of stellar, boasting an impressive record of nine wins from 13 matches and an exceptional goal difference of +18—the highest in the league. Their attacking prowess is unmatched, with a remarkable tally of 34 goals, highlighting their clinical edge in front of goal.
