Roma – Atalanta 11.12.2012
Roma, he will not struggle with attacking options since 5 attackers have scored 27 goals this seasson including Erik Lamela – who will be out for this match due injury, and Pablo Osvaldo with always inspiring Francesco Totti. For the hole team, winning Coppa Italia this seasson is one of the dreams and priorities since Roma is in search of their 10th Coppa tittle, which also brings them the Silver Star. At home, Roma has won last 7 matches, with 15:7 goal difference. Now, they are in 4 winning strak, most recently trashing Fiorentina by 4-2. They do play very good at their home ground and this might be one more crucial fact for our win, despite Roma being in excellent form at the moment.
Atalanta, who comes after winning Parma in their last Serie A match, cannot be proud of their away performance this seasson. They have won only twice. In their last 5 matches, Atalanta has made 2 wins and 3 losses. Even though they are placed 10th in Calcio, I don’t see them as a danger or suprise team, that can make something big out of this match. Coach will be without his good midfielder Giacomo Bonaventura and attacker Guido Marilungo.
Last time Atalanta won at Stadio Olimpico was in 2003. Since then Roma has won all matches… I believe that the home team will be more motivated, with better form, better attacking options, they should overcome probably defending oriented Atalanta who will wait for counter attack opportunity.The odds are coming down…
