Roma scored a resounding victory in the last round. The Wolves faced Pisa and opened the scoring as early as the third minute. Malen capitalized on an opponent's mistake and completed a brace near the end of the first half. The forward didn't stop at a brace. In the 52nd minute Donyell scored a third goal, sealing the final score of the match. In the previous round, Gian Piero Gasperini's side were crushed by Inter. Atalanta suffered their first defeat in five matchdays last Saturday. The Bergamaschi hosted Juventus and, as the home side, created two dangerous moments early in the game. The first half was goalless, and the start of the second half was a shock for Palladino's side. In the 48th minute Boga capitalized on the confusion in the opponent's penalty area and put his team ahead. No matter how hard the teams tried, the scoreline remained unchanged. The defeat pushed the Bergamaschi away from the coveted top four. The first-leg match ended in a narrow Atalanta victory. Thanks to Scalvini's goal, the Bergamaschi went ahead as early as the 12th minute. Then came Scamacca's effort, which was ultimately ruled out after VAR intervention. Atalanta's favorable record against the Wolves stretches back across many seasons. Thus, in the last edition, the Giallorossi lost to them both times; in the previous season, a win for Atalanta and a draw. The Romans last defeated their current opponents in March 2022. Notably, this victory was one of only two wins in a ten-match stretch. It's worth noting some statistical metrics for the teams. Thus, Gian Piero Gasperini's side significantly underperform on xGA. Statistically, Roma should have conceded 11.32 more goals than they have. Moreover, xPTS suggests that the team has overperformed on points; it should be 5.35 points fewer. Atalanta has a large shortfall on xG. It was expected that the Goddess would score 16.5 more goals. The Bergamaschi also underperformed on points. This match is important for both teams, so some caution in play can be expected. It should be noted that both sides defend very reliably. It is quite likely that the opponents will not oppose a draw. However, considering the head-to-head history, one could back Atalanta to avoid defeat.
