Atalanta have emerged as a shock contender for the Serie A title this season, and their form couldn’t be any better ahead of a trip to the Stadio Olimpico on Monday.
The Italian side has won each of their last seven games in the league, scoring a league-high of 34 goals this term. Atalanta start the weekend second in the league standings, just one point behind Napoli.
Roma have turned their attention to Claudio Ranieri in the hope of saving their season.
They come into this round sitting 12th in the standings after losing three on the bounce, and they are currently 15 points adrift of the Champions League spot.
Odds
Given their excellent run of form, it is little surprise to see Atalanta as the +131 favorites this weekend. A win for Ranieri in his first home match in charge of Roma is priced up at +215.
