Why Bet on Atalanta?
Atalanta could secure their place in the next Champions League this weekend, although it doesn’t depend solely on them. With 68 points, they sit in third place, five points ahead of Juventus (fourth), Roma(fifth), and Lazio (sixth), and six points ahead of Bologna (seventh). It’s a very tight race, but a victory combined with none of their direct rivals winning would grant them early qualification.
It’s a good moment for La Dea, as they are unbeaten in four matches with three wins. They are coming off a 0-4 victory over Monza and have scored eight goals while conceding just one—a penalty against Lecce in the only game they drew (1-1).
Curiously, their home form hasn’t been great. They’ve only secured one win in their last nine home matches, meaning they’ve won just one Serie A home game in 2025, which came on April 13 against Bologna.
They are the second-highest scoring team in the league with 71 goals, and Mateo Retegui is the league’s top scorer with 24 goals. Additionally, their 31 goals conceded make them the second-best defense.
Several players are sidelined due to injury, including Sead Kolasinac, Gianluca Scamacca, Giorgio Scalvini, and Stefan Posch.
Why Bet on Roma?
One thing is Roma, and another is Roma under Claudio Ranieri. Since the Italian coach came out of retirement to lead his beloved club, the team has experienced an impressive resurgence, going from the lower mid-table to fighting for a Champions League spot.
With 63 points, they sit in fifth place, tied with Juventus (fourth) and Lazio (sixth). It’s a tough battle that will go down to the final matchday, and Roma is in a great position thanks to their current form. They have three consecutive wins and are unbeaten in Serie A for 19 matches. Their last loss came on December 15, 2024.
Interestingly, their last six victories have all been by 1-0 scores, and in their previous eight games, they’ve scored exactly one goal. Eight of their last 12 matches have ended with a 1-0 result. Away from home, they are coming off a 1-0 win against Inter with a goal from Matías Soulé, and they have six wins and three draws in their last nine away matches.
Paulo Dybala and Lorenzo Pellegrini did not participate in their last training session due to injury, and it’s still uncertain if they will be available for Monday’s game.
