Although he hasn't played many games in Serie A between playing downs, injuries and rotations, Duvan Zapata continues to maintain a high effectiveness 9 goals in 17 games and in this game it is essential that he continues to increase his scoring quota.

Tammy Abraham, Roma's center forward, is having a love affair with the goal scoring 12 goals in 26 games, highlighting his good technique and ability to find space in the final stretch could be the key to harvest the victory at home.

1 Juan Musso, 6 José Palomino, 2 Rafael Tolói, 77 Davide Zappacosta, 33 Hans Hateboer, 7 Teun Koopmeiners, 15 Marten de Roon, 11 Remo Freuler, 88 Mario Pasalic, 10 Jeremie Boga, 32 Matteo Pessina.

After two straight wins in both Europa League and Serie A with a 4-0 win over Sampdoria, Atalanta are back on their feet and on a mission not to lose on their visit and pick up points to keep the distance and, at the same time, get closer to the top 5 for Champions League places.

After a hard-fought last-minute 1-0 win over Spezia last week, Roma is keeping alive its hopes of qualifying for international tournaments and this game is crucial because it is only three points behind Atalanta and this game will be a do-or-die game.

The Roma vs Atalanta match will be played at the Olympic Stadium, in Roma, Italy. The kick-off is scheduled at 12:00 pm ET.
