Atalanta's recent form has been commendable, with 6 wins in their last 10 matches, demonstrating a positive trajectory. AS Roma, on the other hand, have recorded 7 wins in their last 10 games, showing a more moderate performance, particularly struggling in away matches. Atalanta has historically held an advantage in previous encounters between the two teams. Both teams are currently in good form. With the likelihood of rotation due to the match's timing, both sides are expected to utilise substitute players, or less experienced players, to give key players a rest and to experiment with team formations and strategies, potentially integrating new tactics. AS Roma has also bolstered its squad with the addition of four new foreign players, suggesting a significant enhancement in team capabilities. This weekend's highly anticipated clash will see the Italian Serie A titans, Atalanta and AS Roma, face off again on January 4th, at Atalanta's San Siro. Their encounters over the past decade have consistently delivered high-quality football, igniting the passion of fans. Atalanta has displayed remarkable tactical execution and determination in recent years, especially with their solid defence and incisive attacking prowess, which has made opponents wary. Recommendation: AS Roma +0.25
