Roma, managed by José Mourinho, secured a third consecutive home victory in their recent Coppa Italia clash with Cremonese (W 2-1). Mourinho, known for creating a siege mentality, responded to criticism of his team's style of play by demanding more respect. Roma's home form has been strong, with six wins from their last seven league outings at the Stadio Olimpico, keeping four clean sheets in the process. However, their away form has been less impressive, with just one win in their last seven attempts.

Atalanta, Roma's upcoming opponents, have lost only three of their last 17 head-to-head matchups (W8, D6). Sitting one point above Roma in the table, Atalanta comes into the game on the back of three victories in their last four league matches, including a 3-1 win against Sassuolo in the Coppa Italia.

Gian Piero Gasperini, Atalanta's manager, expressed concerns about a busy schedule taking a toll on some of his squad members. The team has five games in a little over two weeks. Gasperini hopes that new signing Isak Hien can alleviate some of the workload and provide inspiration. Atalanta aims to end a run of five defeats in their last eight away league games, with their two wins during that period coming against teams in the bottom four.

In a key battle, Roma midfielder Bryan Cristante, who has won only one of his last six home head-to-heads against former club Atalanta, faces Charles De Ketelaere. The latter has helped his team win in the last eight fixtures in which he has scored, including a brace against Sassuolo in midweek.

I believe we will see an encounter that will finish with one goal only, and that is Mourinho's specialty.

在穆里尼奥的带领下，罗马在最近的意大利杯对阵克雷莫纳人的比赛中取得了主场三连胜(2-1)。穆里尼奥以制造围攻心态而闻名，他以要求更多的尊重来回应对他的球队风格的批评。罗马的主场状态一直很强劲，在过去的7场联赛中，他们在奥林匹克球场取得了6场胜利，在此过程中保持了4场零封。然而，他们的客场表现却不那么令人印象深刻，在最近的七场比赛中只取得了一场胜利。

亚特兰大，罗马即将到来的对手，在最近的17场交锋中只输了3场(W8, D6)。亚特兰大目前在积分榜上领先罗马1分，他们在过去的4场联赛中取得了3场胜利，其中包括在意大利杯3-1战胜萨索洛。

亚特兰大主教练吉安·皮耶罗·加斯佩里尼(Gian Piero Gasperini)表示，他担心繁忙的赛程会对他的一些队员造成影响。这支球队在两周多一点的时间里有五场比赛。加斯佩里尼希望新签入的贤能减轻一些工作量，并提供灵感。亚特兰大的目标是结束他们最近8场客场比赛的5场失利，他们在这段时间里的2场胜利都是对阵倒数4名的球队。

在一场关键的战斗中，罗马中场布莱恩·克里斯坦特将面对查尔斯·德·凯泰拉雷，他在过去的六场主场对阵老东家亚特兰大的比赛中只赢了一场。后者帮助他的球队在过去的八场比赛中取得了胜利，其中包括周中对阵萨索洛的进球。

我相信我们会看到一场只有一个进球的比赛，这是穆里尼奥的专长。
