Roma preview: Roman ruins
This week has been dominated by club director Claudio Ranieri coming out and publicly criticising the appointment of Gian Piero Gasperini, with the former Atalanta boss having been under pressure within the fan base of late.
However, they do come into this one on the back of a much-needed 3-0 hammering of a poor Pisa side at the Stadio Olimpico last weekend, courtesy of a hat-trick scored by Netherlands international attacker Donyell Malen.
Atalanta preview: Improved Bergamasci
Atalanta initially struggled after the departure of Gasperini and the appointment of former Southampton boss Ivan Juric, but they have been much-improved since the appointment of Raffaele Palladino, a tactical disciple of Gasperini.
The Bergamasci were dealt a blow in their unlikely hopes for a top four finish last week, though, as Juventus defeated them by a goal to nil, courtesy of a 48th minute winner scored by versatile attacker Jeremie Boga.

Roma vs Atalanta prediction
Up against his former club, Gasperini will want to be able to use that to push Roma towards the top four and get some of his own back on the bizarrely provocative comments of Ranieri. Atalanta head to the capital city in reasonable form despite their recent loss and so this could end up being quite a fun watch for the neutral with both teams scoring seemingly a good bet for this one at the Olimpico.
