Roma host Atalanta at the Stadio Olimpico in Serie A Matchday 3, with both clubs carrying perfect six-point records after the first two rounds.

Roma Started With Eight Goals and Zero Conceded

Roma have been exceptional early in the campaign under Gian Piero Gasperini, beating Fiorentina 4-0 before another 0-4 victory at Lecce. Donyell Malen followed his opening-day hat-trick with two more goals on Monday, taking him to five Serie A goals after only two matches.

Paulo Dybala remains the creative source after registering three assists against Fiorentina. Matías Soulé and new signing Rodrigo Mora both scored at Lecce. Roma have therefore generated eight goals while conceding zero, with 61% possession against Fiorentina and 64% at Lecce.

Roma predicted lineup vs Atalanta (3-4-3): Svilar; Mancini, Ndicka, Hermoso; Wesley, Cristante, Koné, Lulli; Dybala, Soulé; Malen.

Atalanta’s Six-Point Start Makes Them a Serious Threat

Atalanta are also two wins from two after beating Sassuolo 2-1 and Bologna 1-0, with Lazar Samardžić’s 96th-minute strike deciding Monday’s second match.

Maurizio Sarri started Gianluca Scamacca between Charles De Ketelaere and Giacomo Raspadori against Bologna, while Samardžić, Nikola Krstović and Nicola Zalewski provide substantial attacking depth from the bench.

Marco Carnesecchi has conceded only once across 180 league minutes, although Bologna created several major openings and forced important saves before Atalanta eventually won in stoppage time.

Atalanta predicted lineup vs Roma (4-3-3): Carnesecchi; Zappacosta, Kossounou, Scalvini, Kolašinac; Pašalić, Gaetano, Éderson; De Ketelaere, Scamacca, Raspadori.

Roma vs Atalanta Prediction

Safe Tip: Roma or Draw
Odds: 1.21 (22Bet)
Correct score prediction: Roma 2-1 Atalanta
22Bet Booking Code: XNLKS

Key stats:

  • Roma have won both Serie A matches 4-0, scoring eight goals without conceding.
  • Atalanta have six points after beating Sassuolo 2-1 and Bologna 1-0.
  • The most recent Olimpico H2H finished 1-1 in April, when Roma outshot La Dea19-8.

Roma or Draw at 1.21 is the safe tip because the hosts enter with arguably Serie A's strongest early-season form. Eight goals, two clean sheets and six points represent an ideal opening, while Malen has personally scored five of I Giallorossi eight goals.

Atalanta deserve respect after winning twice, and they have avoided defeat in each of their eight H2Hs with Roma. However, their 1-0 victory over Bologna required a 96th-minute winner. The 1.21 price implies an 82% probability, and an 80% confidence rating accounts for La Dea’s excellent H2H record.

Roma's two clean sheets make this a higher-risk selection, but Atalanta have scored in both league games. They can field De Ketelaere, Scamacca and Raspadori together after that trio started Monday's 1-0 victory.

The matchup also supports a more open game than I Giallorossi’s first two fixtures. Both teams scored in three of the last five H2Hs, including the 1-1 draw at this stadium in April and La Dea’s 2-1 victory in May 2025. Roma's eight goals make their side a solid choice to score, while Atalanta's six-point start provides enough attacking evidence.

Verdict: Roma or Draw (1.21) - Roma 2-1 Atalanta.
