Atalanta vs Roma – Serie A Betting Tips

In their weekend Serie A clash, Jose Mourinho’s side visits a free-scoring Atalanta. The teams have been entertaining so far this season, and it would be interesting to see the outcome of this match. 

The much in-form Atalanta sits at the 3rd position in Serie A with 37 points and has won their last 5 matches in Serie A. They have scored 37 goals and conceded 20 in the previous 17 games of this Serie A season, and they are increasingly looking like a more worthy candidate to dethrone Inter Milan than AC Milan. 

Roma, on their part, has been having a mixed run of results and can’t stick with consistently positive results this season in Serie A. Will they be able to stop Atalanta in their bid to have another win in their books? We will find out at the weekend, and here are our tips for this match.

Atalanta has been one of the most in-form teams in Serie A this season, and although they sit at the 3rd position in the table, they are just 3 points away from the top of the league. They have won their last 5 league games and, in general, won 11 out of 17 Serie A matches played.

Atalanta has scored 14 league goals and conceded just 6 in their last 5 matches, which shows how serious they are this season.

Our Tipsters Angle

Atalanta is currently in the form of their lives checking their last 5 matches, and this is seen in their results. Roma, even though they haven’t been in great form can boast of having an experienced coach who can manage his team through big tricky matches like this. 

Checking the H2H between these two teams, Atalanta has won 3 and drawn 2 of the last 5 meetings in all competitions.  

Below is our tip for this match:

Tip 1:  Atalanta to Win 

Atalanta plays like a team on a mission this season, and we believe that Roma would find them too much to handle. Atalanta has won their last 5 matches and always finds ways to score their opponents. 

Roma has not found it easy against top teams in Serie A this season and we don’t see them overpowering Atalanta in this match. 

Sevilla to win is available at the Casumo sportsbook at 1.67 odds, which is a good value for this bet.

Tip 2:  Both Teams to Score

Even though Roma has been much of a defensive side this season, they have tried to ask questions at the opposition goal and have scored most times. Atalanta games are filled with both teams finding the net, and that is an indication that they are not defensively solid. 

Also, checking their H2H, both teams have managed to score in 4 of their last 5 encounters in all competitions. 

Both Teams to Score is available at the Casumo Sportsbook at 1.56 odds. 

Conclusion

This match between Atalanta vs. Roma is the most anticipated Serie A match of the weekend, and this match has everything to be a cracker. Roma hasn’t been in fine form, but they have managed to find the net in most of their matches, and we think they will do the same in this match.

However, Atalanta matches look like they aim to outscore their opponents rather than defend properly, but we expect them to do enough to win this game.
