Roma’s perfect April and another important stop on the road to the Champions League

The Wolfess has gone wild and there is a growing chance that after four years we will see the Giallorossi in the Champions League again. One path leads them via the Europa League trophy, and Roma reached the semi-finals, while the other is through Serie A. In the Italian championship, Roma will play against Atalanta in Bergamo this Monday at 9.45 PM EAT, and if they were to triumph, they would leapfrog Juventus in third position.The team coached by Jose Mourinho plays almost perfectly in April. In the league, they recorded victories over Sampdoria (3-0), Torino (1-0) and Udinese (3-0), while on the international stage they eliminated Feyenoord. After a 1-0 defeat in Rotterdam, last Thursday in Rome they won 4-1 (after extra time) and thus scheduled a double match with Bayer Leverkusen (May 11 and 18).100 up for José. 💯 Tonight’s game against Atalanta will be Mourinho’s 100th game in charge of the Giallorossi! 👏#ASRoma pic.twitter.com/Igv9NcMCKQ— AS Roma English (@ASRomaEN) April 24, 2023 On the other hand, Atalanta are in a crisis, having won only one point from the last two matches. The Goddess has now fallen to seventh place, so they are practically obliged to claim a victory tonight if they don’t want to give up on the elite competition yet. Roma are currently seven points ahead.Atalanta are still without Ademola Lookman, who got injured ten days ago. The rest of the team is more or less available to Gian Piero Gasperini, with some changes expected from the team that played in Florence. First of all in goal, Juan Musso will replace Marco Sportiel, and Jeremie Boga is also waiting for a chance.As for the Wolfess, Mourinho is expected to send a similar squad as against Feyenoord. Only two changes are expected, as Chris Smalling and Giorginio Wijnaldum will get a chance to rest, and Ibanez and, with some positional rotations, Paulo Dybala will probably have his place in the starting lineup. The Italian media expect Nemanja Matić to start again, after an excellent game against the Dutch, when he was among the best on the field.At 2 am, Osimhen parties at the roof of a team bus with 10,000 fansIn the middle of September last year, in the first match of the season, Atalanta defeated Roma in the Italian capital 1-0. The hero then was young defender Giorgio Scalvini, who scored the match’s only goal in the 35th minute.Roma last visited Bergamo in December 2021. Then the Giallorossi were victorious with a convincing 4-1 performance, with two goals from Tammy Abraham, who should be the starter tonight as well.SERIE A – ROUND 31FridayVerona – Bologna 2-1 (1-0)/Verdi 45+6 pen, 62 – Dominguez 90+4/SaturdaySalernitana – Sassuolo 2-0 (1-0)/Pirola 9, Dia 20/Lazio – Torino 0-1 (0-1)/Ilic 43/Sampdoria – Spezia 1-1 (1-0)/Amione 23 – Verde 59/SundayEmpoli – Inter 0-3 (0-0)/Lukaku 48, 76, Lautaro 88/Monza – Fiorentina 3-2 (2-2)/Biraghi 26(og), Motta 43, Pessina 59 – Koumate 8, Saponara 13/Udinese – Cremonese 3-0 (3-0)/Samardzic 2, Perez 27, Success 36/Milan – Lecce 2-0 (1-0)/Leao 40, 74/Juventus – Napoli 0-1 (0-0)/Raspadori 90+3/Monday21:45: (2.50) Atalanta (3.40) Roma (3.10)***odds are subject to change***
