Atalanta vs Roma key facts
- Atalanta have been in dire form since December, going more than 3 months without a win. Edy Reja’s side has, however, now won its last 2 home fixtures, beating Bologna and Milan.
- The hosts lost at Torino 1-2 last week.
- Marten De Roon wins more tackles per game, and also intercepts more passes, than any other Atalanta player. He is suspended for this game.
- The situation is only compounded by a concurrent ban for fellow starting central midfielder Luca Cigarini.
- Salah hit the wood work 3 times for Roma at home to Bologna for the surprising 1-1 result last week.
- The Lupi had been in imperious shape in the league since Luciano Spalletti’s arrival but have drawn 2 of their last 3 and if they’re serious about taking 2nd spot from Napoli they can’t afford to drop many more points.
- The influential Radja Nainggolan will be back in the midfield for this fixture.
Lazio vs Empoli key facts
- The new coach syndrome was obvious to see last week when Lazio defeated Palermo 3-0 – Keita played a strong game, Klose was back in scoring form and it was in truth a very dominant Lazio display down south.
- The Biancocelesti have lost just once in their last 5 games.
- Empoli snapped a 12-game winless run (0-6-6) last week by beating Fiorentina 2-0, another team in a very bad shape.
- The Azzurri are now in a very safe position.
- The Tuscan club, who were held scoreless in their last 2 road games, have not won outside of their home venue since a 1-0 victory over Torino on January 10.
- Empoli are greatly damaged by a suspension for Piotr Zielinski. The Polish midfielder is the best dribbler on the team and his influence in changing defence to attack should not be underestimated.
