SlipsTips Tips: Atalanta vs Roma

SlipsTips shares a selection from Atalanta's clash with Roma in Serie A on Sunday night.

Atalanta vs Roma (Sunday, 19:45)

A potentially pivotal showdown in the race for Champions League qualification takes place in Serie A on Sunday night, as Atalanta go up against Roma at the Gewiss Stadium.

The hosts are currently occupying fifth place, while the visitors are in sixth, with only goal difference separating the duo in the standings.

Gian Piero Gasperini's side have won each of their last three Serie A matches, not to mention they made light work of Marseille to make it through to the Europa League final on Thursday night.

Roma, on the other hand, bowed out of the Europa League at Bayer Leverkusen, and closer to home the capital club have drawn their last two league games.

With both teams in need of all three points here to strengthen their respective top-five ambitions, I’m more than happy to support Over 2.5 Goals on Sunday night at 4/5 on Bet 365.

Goal-heavy games have been the order of the day in matches involving Atalanta this season, with 22 of their 34 Serie A assignments this term featuring three or more goals.

In fact, each of the Bergamo-based outfits' last nine league matches have broken the Over 2.5 goal barrier, and there is plenty of scope for a repeat when Roma come calling.

Daniele De Rossi has transformed the Giallorossi into a more proactive and forward-thinking outfit, as evidenced by the fact that they have scored in 16 of their last 17 Italian top-flight tussles.

That increased attacking output has coincided with 21 of Roma’s overall 35 league games this season producing a minimum of three match goals, including seven of their last eight road games.

Thus, the opportunity to side with Over 2.5 goals on Sunday night, in a game where a draw doesn't really suit either team, holds plenty of appeal at 4/5 on Bet 365.
