Atalanta Bergamo vs AS Roma Best odds and tips

Atalanta Bergamo will be looking to hold onto third place in Serie A 2024/2025 when they face a resurgent AS Roma in a top-four clash on Monday. La Dea have accumulated 68 points from 35 games to sit in third spot while the Giallorossi have 63 points from the same number of matches in fifth. Gian Piero Gasperini’s long-serving leadership at Bergamo has seen him build a team with a distinctive identity of high-energy, intense pressing that has made them fearsome opponents for any side in Serie A. La Dea are coming off a 4-0 thrashing of Monza just days ago that suggests they are at their best at the most important time of the season. Teun Koopmeiners continues to be the master puppeteer in Gasperini’s system, setting the pressing tempo and linking up with Mateo Retegui, who is the danger man with 24 league goals from 33 appearances this season. The forward has been in particularly good form of late with three assists and eight goals in his last five appearances.

Claudio Ranieri has made his mark on Roma since taking over in November 2024. The Giallorossi have won their last three matches and are unbeaten in five, a run which has included victories over Fiorentina, Inter and Verona. Roma’s high defensive line is well-organised and their ability to play with the ball wide has been a feature of their recent games. Artem Dovbyk is the top scorer in the team with 12 Serie A goals, but Eldor Shomurodov has chipped in with two in the last five as Roma’s momentum gathers pace in their late-season push for a top-four finish. Atalanta are the clear bookmakers’ favourites at 1.86, with Roma way out at 4.25. The home side are rightful favourites for this clash given their superior head-to-head record and home form, but Roma’s recent momentum shouldn’t be underestimated. The visitors have failed to win in their last two trips to Bergamo, which will give Atalanta the edge in what should be a tense clash.
