Roma have made a perfect start to the campaign, winning both games 4-0 against Fiorentina and Lecce. Malen scored five of those goals and is again supported by Dybala, who shook off a muscular issue to play with summer signing Rodrigo Mora. Ndicka pulled out in the warm-up of the Lecce trip, but he too has recovered and takes his place in defence back from Daniele Ghilardi.
Atalanta also started the season well, winning both matches against Sassuolo and Bologna with late goals. Gianluca Scamacca and Charles De Ketelaere form the attacking trident, while Kamaldeen Sulemana and Isak Hien won't be back until next month. The squad is bolstered by the deadline day arrival of Jonathan Rowe from Bologna and free agent Franck Kessié.
Roma's head coach Gian Piero Gasperini has confirmed his starting line-up for the upcoming match against Atalanta. The match will take place at the Stadio Olimpico at 19.45 UK time (20.45 CEST).
