Atalanta vs AS Roma Prediction & Betting Tips (12 May)

Eager to return to the Champions League next year, Atalanta is currently 5th in Serie A and has, with one game less, the same number of points as 6th. The Dea therefore has its destiny in its hands but has no room for error. Confidently, Gian Piero Gasperini's men have only lost one of their last 7 league matches, for 4 wins and 2 draws. They remain on 3 victories acquired against Monza 1-2, Empoli 2-0 and Salernitana last Monday 1-2. This week, the Bergamo-based team defeated OM in the Europa League semi-finals 3-0 and will face Bayern Leverkusen in the final. Next Wednesday, Atalanta plays the Italian Cup final against Juventus.

6th in Serie A with one more match and the same number of points as its opponent of the day, Roma is playing a crucial match this weekend if she wants to maintain the hope of taking part in the next Champions League. The Louve club has raised the bar following the arrival on the bench of Daniele De Rossi in January. Unfortunately, the Giallorossi have let precious points slip away recently, as evidenced by the only success acquired during the last 4 days, for 2 draws and 1 defeat. They just shared points with Napoli 2-2 and Juventus last weekend 1-1. This week, Roma thought they could create the feat but were ultimately caught by Leverkusen 2-2 and will therefore not see the Europa League final defeated 0-2 in the first leg.

For this meeting, the defensive sector is weakened by the packages of the Kolasinac executive and the potential holder Holm. Furthermore, the now replacement Toloi is uncertain. Otherwise, the usual executives are available but Gian Piero Gasperini could be tempted to rotate in anticipation of the Italian Cup final which will be played on Wednesday. Thus, the influential Koopmeiners (12 goals and 4 assists in SA), De Ketelaere (7 goals and 6 assists in SA) and Scamacca (10 goals and 4 assists in SA) could start on the bench. Scorer against OM this week, the Nigerian Lookman (9 goals and 6 assists in SA) should, for his part, start and be associated with Miranchuk (3 goals and 4 assists in SA) and Touré (2 goals in his 4 last matches).Hit this week in the Europa League and released in the 20th minute, the excellent left piston Spinazzola is unavailable this weekend, injured.

Otherwise, the coach can count on most of his strengths. We are thinking first of the attackers Dybala (13 goals and 9 assists in SA) and Lukaku (12 goals and 3 assists in SA) although the first mentioned remained on the bench in the semi-final second leg of the Europa League. Against Bayer Leverkusen, midfielder Paredes stood out by converting 2 penalties. He should again compose the midfield with the Cristante and Pellegrini executives (7 goals and 3 assists in SA).
