Our prediction for this Serie A match:
All eyes will be on Stadio Olimpico when Roma and Atalanta go head to head in the Serie A round 28. The Romans did well to beat Spezia thanks to Tammy Abraham’s late goal, with the team keeping their Champions League hopes alive. Jose Mourinho’s men aim to give fans yet another reason for celebration, and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the Orobici. Both Afena-Gyan and Spinazzola are sidelined with injuries, while the likes of Oliveira and Zaniolo are major doubts.
Atalanta, on the other hand, aim to build on a 4-0 win over Sampdoria. Given the attacking potential of the two teams, we believe that punters from all four corners of the world can find value in betting on both teams to score. Toloi is banned for the match, while Zapata, Malinovskyi, and Ilicic continue to miss out. Columbia striker Muriel will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
Highlighted Player (Rui Patricio):
Sporting Lisbon and Portugal national team goalkeeper Rui Patricio is a one-club man. He was reportedly close to signing with Serie A giants Inter Milan during the 2008 of-season, but he remained in his club where he will most likely hang up his boots when the time comes.

Rui Patricio went on to appear in more than 350 official games for the Portugal greats and remains the first-choice keeper for his club and country. Having gone through all the youth selections with the national team, Rui Patricio was given his first senior cap in 2010 after Paulo Bento’s appointment.
