AS Roma is at a critical juncture as they prepare to face Atalanta in Serie A, where a victory is essential for their Champions League aspirations. Currently, Roma sits just ahead of Atalanta, with Juventus occupying the final top-four spot. The stakes are high, as a win could shift the narrative of their season, while a loss could deepen their struggles. However, the match is complicated by internal tensions between head coach Gian Piero Gasperini and Claudio Ranieri, which have become public and could affect team dynamics. Additionally, Roma may be without key players Wesley and Niccolò Pisilli due to injuries, which would limit their attacking options against a determined Atalanta side. This match is not just about points; it’s a test of character for Roma, who must overcome both their rivals and their own internal strife to salvage their season.
