According to the coach, reaching Europe's premier competition demands total commitment from everyone.

Sead Kolašinac is ruled out until the end of August with a serious injury. Additionally, Stefan Posch's participation is doubtful due to hamstring issues.
Roma
In their previous match, Roma secured a home victory against Fiorentina with a 1-0 scoreline. The only goal of the game came in the dying seconds of the first half, as Artem Dovbyk connected with a corner to find the back of the net. Claudio Ranieri, speaking post-match, emphasized that the result was achieved through the team's high level of commitment and resilience. He acknowledged that Fiorentina had dominated possession and applied pressure, making it crucial not to rush forward recklessly but to manage energy and game tempo wisely. The coach also noted that he consistently demands the utmost from his players, and on that evening, they fully met his expectations.
It's worth mentioning that the "Giallorossi" are currently missing several key players. Lorenzo Pellegrini is in the recovery phase from a muscle injury and is expected to return by the end of the month. Meanwhile, Paulo Dybala is sidelined for the rest of the season due to a hamstring injury.
⚽️Goal Prediction
Both teams are in excellent form and are fiercely battling for a Champions League spot. Atalanta have netted 71 goals this season, boasting one of the league's most potent attacks, and they easily dismantled Monza 4-0 away in their last outing. Roma are equally impressive: since Claudio Ranieri's arrival, the team have transformed, remaining unbeaten in the league since mid-December and consistently finding the back of the net in almost every match. Given the attacking prowess of both sides, we predict both teams to score.
🚩Corner Prediction
Atalanta consistently rank among the Serie A leaders in corners taken, averaging 5.2 per match, which places them 5th in the league. Under Claudio Ranieri, Roma have also improved their attacking play: they now average 4.5 corners per game, ranking 12th, a significant rise from their previous position at the bottom before the managerial change. Considering Roma's progress, Atalanta's high flank activity, and the importance of the upcoming match, an open game is expected. We predict over 9.5 total corners.
Editorial Prediction
Both teams are tightly packed in the standings, and the result of this match could play a decisive role in securing a top-four spot. Atalanta have been struggling on home turf, failing to win in 8 of their last 9 home games. Roma, on the other hand, have extended an impressive unbeaten run in Serie A to 19 matches in a row. Considering the current form and psychological edge of the visitors, betting on Roma not to lose seems like a well-founded prediction.
