AS Roma team overview
AS Roma seems to be on the right track again. After an excellent third-place finish in Serie A last season, they have the highest ambitions for the 2026/27 campaign, too. AS Roma were excellent in the first two league rounds with six points and an 8:0 goal difference. After a 4-0 victory in the opening round against Fiorentina, Gian Piero Gasperini's team beat Lecce with the same result. In both matches, AS Roma finished with an xG over 3.00 while limiting their opponents to only a few goal-scoring opportunities.
The main reason for AS Roma's excellent start to the season is Donyell Malen, who scored five goals in the first two matches. Also, his partner in the offense, Paulo Dybala, has been impressive so far, with three assists. Most fans will be keeping a close eye on what the attacking duo can offer on Saturday evening.
AS Roma didn't sign any players since their last match. However, they offloaded a few players who probably wouldn't have a big role this season. By far the most important departure is Neil El Aynaoui, who went on loan to RB Leipzig.
AS Roma have some problems with missing players. Muhammed Bah, Lorenzo Pellegrini, and Devyne Rensch are injured and are unavailable for Saturday's tie against Atalanta.

Atalanta team overview
Atalanta expected more last season. Eventually, they finished seventh in the table and now hope to return among the best teams in Serie A. However, the competition seems pretty tough right now, and it is a big question whether Atalanta have enough quality. After two rounds, Sarri's team has six points, but they were far from impressive. In the first match, Atalanta beat Sassuolo 2-1. Last week, Sarri's team continued its winning streak with a 1-0 win at home against Bologna. In both matches, Sarri's team lacked creativity and should feel fortunate to have picked up a maximum of six points.
Atalanta were very active on the final day of the summer transfer window. They added left winger Jonathan Rowe from Bologna. The player had three goals and three assists in 28 Serie A matches last season. On the other hand, Atalanta offloaded Honest Ahanor, Ibrahim Sulemana, and Mitchell Bakker.
Kamaldeen Sulemana, Thomas Kristensen, and Isak Hien are injured and will not play on Saturday in Rome.
