Serie A 2023-2024: Roma-Atalanta, the likely lineups
Roma-Atalanta, the probable formations
The 19th day of Serie A closes with the luxury post-match between Roma and Atalanta. Kickoff at 8:45 p.m. at the Stadio Olimpico. It is a challenge with a European flavor: the Giallorossi, with a victory, would overtake the Nerazzurri, and move to sixth place, -2 from the Champions zone; the Orobici, in case of success, would hook Bologna in fifth place, -1 from Fiorentina, fourth.
Mourinho forced to deploy Cristante in defense, complicit in the absence of N'Dicka, committed to the D'Africa Cup. In midfield, Paredes is gritting his teeth and will be in the box, with Bove and Pellegrini on his sides, on the outsides Kristensen and Zalewski. In attack, confirmation for the Dybala-Lukaku pair.
Gasperini recovers Scalvini in defense, with Djimsiti and Kolasinac completing the backline. Midfield dike formed by De Roon and Ederson, with Zappacosta and Ruggeri on the flanks. In attack there will be no Lookman, in the African Cup of Nations: room for Scamacca, with De Ketelaere and Koopmeiners in support.
