Atalanta
Atalanta vs. Roma kicks off at 19:45 [GMT] on Saturday, January 1, 2026, at the Gewiss Stadium.
Atalanta and Roma face off at the Gewiss Stadium in a Serie A clash that pairs contrasting league positions with a long, nuanced recent history. Roma arrive in Bergamo in fourth place on 33 points, while Atalanta sit 11th on 22 points and will look to use home advantage to narrow the gap.
Atalanta’s league position does not fully reflect their strength at the Gewiss Stadium. The Bergamo side have won four of their last six home matches in all competitions, reinforcing their reputation as a difficult opponent on their own ground.
Even in seasons where league consistency has been elusive, Atalanta have often relied on strong home performances to steady their campaign. Recent results suggest that this remains the case.
Another notable theme surrounding this contest is the tendency toward lower-scoring games. Atalanta have seen under 2.5 goals in 60% of their last 10 Serie A matches, while Roma have experienced the same outcome in 14 of their last 23 league games.
These patterns reflect two sides that, for different reasons, have often been involved in controlled, tactical encounters. They tend toward measured affairs rather than open, high-scoring games.
Atalanta [WLWWL] will be looking to bounce back to winning ways following a 1-0 loss to Inter last time out. A 4—2—3—1 formation with Gianluca Scamacca in attack is expected against Roma.
Roma have enjoyed a relatively stable Serie A season, with victories in half of their recent league matches keeping them firmly in the race for Champions League qualification.
Defensive organization has been a key factor, particularly away from home, as Roma have conceded an average of just 0.75 goals per away league match—a record that underlines their ability to stay compact and disciplined on their travels, even when not dominating possession.
Despite Roma’s higher league standing, recent head-to-head trends in this fixture lean in Atalanta’s favor.
Roma have won only three of their last 21 Serie A meetings with Atalanta, a run that highlights how challenging this matchup has been for the capital club.
More specifically, Roma have lost their last three away league games against Atalanta, making the Gewiss Stadium a particularly uncomfortable venue for them in recent seasons.
From a football perspective, the match sets Atalanta’s energetic home approach against Roma’s measured and organized away performances.
While Roma’s league position suggests consistency and efficiency, Atalanta’s historical edge in this fixture and their recent home form add an extra layer of intrigue.
A 3—4—2—1 formation with Evan Ferguson in attack may be seen.
