Roma recovered the match against Napoli, coming from behind to draw 3-3, but Massimiliano Allegri's team risks losing the rivalry with Inter and Lazio, who face Fiorentina and Parma respectively on the same day. Roma coach, Gian Piero Gasperini, continues to suffer heavy defeats against Allegri: in the last ten matches between the two coaches, Atalanta has won only once, with the most recent victory dating back to 2021, when Atalanta defeated Torino 1-0 in a match against Juventus.
For Roma, direct comparisons with Juventus still remain unbeaten if we exclude the Champions League matches. However, the team has drawn three matches, all against clubs with title or qualification objectives in Europe. Although this figure has improved compared to the previous year, it is still not enough to compete for the championship.
Here is the chronology of the last ten matches between Allegri and Gasperini: Napoli-Roma 3-3 (24 October 2026), Roma-Milan 1-1 (25 January 2026), Milan-Roma 1-0 (2 November 2025), Atalanta-Juventus 0-1 (10 March 2024), Juventus-Atalanta 2-2 (1 October 2023), Atalanta-Juventus 0-0 (7 May 2023), Atalanta-Juventus 0-2 (22 January 2023), Juventus-Atalanta 3-3 (13 February 2022), Atalanta-Juventus 1-1 (27 November 2021), and Juventus-Atalanta 0-1 (27 November 2021).
With Roma awaiting a positive result against Napoli, the team will have to focus on how to manage the pressure of the upcoming matches against Inter and Lazio, to avoid losing their position in the table and keep their hopes of qualifying for European competitions alive.
