Jose Mourinho's AS Roma look to end their recent struggles as they face off against Atalanta with just one point separating the two sides.
AS Roma were handed a narrow defeat by arch-rivals Juventus as French midfielder Adrien Rabiot scored the solitary goal for his side. With Roma winning just once in their previous three, Mourinho would be concerned about their recent results and will want to climb up the ladder with a victory.
Atalanta, on the other hand, have managed three wins in their previous four games, putting them a point above their opposition in sixth. Ademola Lookman's second-half strike helped them overcome Leece before the Italian outfit dumped Sassuolo out of the Coppa Italia with a 3-1 victory.
