Roma will be looking to return to winning ways on the road in Serie A this weekend in order to get their title challenge back on track.
The Giallorossi have lost their way somewhat since tasting their first defeat of the season at the hands of leaders Juventus last month, failing to string back-to-back victories together in their five league outings since.
However, Rudi Garcia's men still remain in second place in the league table, and they can in fact draw level with the Old Lady at the summit should they win Saturday's evening kickoff against Atalanta BC at the Stadio Atleti Azzurri d'Italia.
While Roma have struggled on the road of late, their record against this weekend's opponents makes better reading, with 50 wins from their 105 previous meetings - the last of which came back in April in a 3-1 triumph.
Atalanta's biggest problem has been finding the back of the net this season. Having scored just four times in Serie A, it is no surprise to see the Nerazzurri hovering dangerously above the drop zone.
It will not got any easier for them this weekend either, with Roma boasting the league's best defence, which looks set to remain unchanged for this trip.
Top scorer Mattia Destro, who has been linked with a move to Arsenal in recent times, also looks likely to start for Roma, although Newcastle United loanee Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa has been ruled out for the next three weeks.
