Roma will invite Atalanta to Stadio Olimpico in Serie A on Monday. The capital club have three wins in 13 league games and are in 15th place in the league table. La Dea are in second place in the league table with 28 points, the same as fifth-placed Lazio.
The hosts are winless in their last five games in all competitions, suffering three losses. They suffered a 1-0 away loss to Napoli in Serie A last month and played out a 2-2 draw against Tottenham Hotspur in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday. Mats Hummels scored a stoppage-time equalizer as they played their second consecutive draw in the competition.
Roma have enjoyed a good run of form and are unbeaten in their last 12 games in all competitions. They extended their winning streak across all competitions to seven games last week, with a 6-1 away triumph over Young Boys in the UEFA Champions League. Charles De Ketelaere was the star of the win, bagging a brace and picking up three assists.

Roma vs Atalanta Prediction
The Giallorossi are winless in their last five games, suffering three losses while conceding 10 times, and will look to improve upon that record. They have scored one goal apiece in their last three meetings in this fixture. Interestingly, they have won just one of their last 10 home games in this fixture.
Mario Hermoso is a confirmed absentee due to an injury. Eldor Shomurodov has been included in the squad list but is likely to start from the bench. Claudio Ranieri will also be without the services of Niccolò Pisilli due to suspension.
La Dea have been in great touch recently, winning 10 of their last 11 games in all competitions. They have scored 24 goals in their last seven games and will look to build on that prolific run.
Davide Zappacosta and Gianluca Scamacca are the two injury concerns for Gian Piero Gasperini. Ademola Lookman was rested against Young Boys and should return to the starting XI here.
The visitors have been the better side in recent games in this fixture and, considering their current form, La Dea should be able to record a comfortable win.
