Predictions & Statistics

AS Roma sit 6 with 57 points after 32 matches and remain under pressure to produce steadier results. The overall return of 18 wins, 3 draws, and 11 defeats with a 45:28 goal balance points toward mixed form over their recent run. Going forward they depend heavily on D. Malen (10 goals), M. Soule (6 goals), L. Pellegrini (4 goals), with creative support from M. Soule (5 assists), D. Rensch (3 assists), L. Pellegrini (2 assists), while defensively they have looked fairly stable. At home, the split record of 11 wins, 2 draws, and 3 losses points to a very strong split record. They are pushing for upper-table objectives and still have something important to play for. Their broader football approach still suggests balanced attacking football. Although they are without Wesley Franca, M. Kone, L. Pellegrini, the biggest concern is that one of those absentees also contributes heavily in both finishing and chance creation.

Atalanta sit 7 with 53 points after 32 league matches. The record of 14 wins, 11 draws, and 7 defeats, together with a 44:28 goal balance, points toward mixed form over their recent run.

Zalewski (5 assists), N. Krstovic (4 assists), while at the back they have looked fairly stable. Away from home, they have returned 5 wins, 6 draws, and 4 losses, a split that suggests a balanced but draw-heavy split record. They are pushing for upper-table objectives and still have something important to play for. In football terms, they tend to show balanced attacking football. They are not at full strength, with K. Sulemana, I. Hien unavailable, although the overall attacking core still looks largely intact.
