Roma - Atalanta

Roma will face Atalanta at Olimpic stadium, but in the same time they hope that Siena could stay unbeaten at Guissepe Meazza and keep their title dreams alive. However, chance for trophy Giallorossi will have in Coppa Italia competition where they will meet with Inter once again. Spaletti’s team visited Sicilia at last Wednesday, beat Catania and qualified in the final, where they will fight for third consecutive trophy.

In the same time there are a lot of speculations about new Roma owners and some media talk about Russian investors. Supporters believe in new big signings and hope that Roma could reach Champions League final next year, which will be played at Olimpico, like it was at 1984., when Roma lost against Liverpool in their only Champions League final.

On the other hand Atalanta was better against Livorno in Bergamo and with 3-2 victory sent them to Seria B. The Coach Del Neri shuffled his team once again, gave chance to some youth talented players, but key man was Doni who scored and became the best Atalanta scorer ever. He has showed that he could play successfully for a few seasons more, so rumors that he could be transferred to Palermo have a sense.

Team from Bergamo will try to surprise Roma even thought they are sitting at mid-table position without any chance to catch European positions. In the first part of the season Roam was better in Bergamo, so visitors will be motivated to make revenge. Also Del Nerri wasn’t successful in his episode in Rome so he will give his best to prove his quality against previous club.

Roma is a huge favorite here and I am sure that Spalleti’s team will try to make pressure from the first whistle. On the other hand Atalanta have a talented team and they have showed several times that they could surprise big names this season. I expect open match with lot of chances on the both sides, so my choice is Over 2,5 goals at 1,55 with Expekt.com stake 7.
