Mora and Dybala are poised for Roma start against Atalanta

Roma prepares for a match against Atalanta at the Olimpico tonight. The home side enters the contest following back-to-back 4-0 victories over Fiorentina and Lecce. Maurizio Sarri is formulating a defensive strategy to neutralize Malen, who has recorded five goals in his last two appearances. Dybala is considered a game-time decision for the lineup due to lingering doubts surrounding his fitness. If Dybala is unavailable, Rodrigo Mora is expected to join the starting side. Gian Piero Gasperini intends for Odilon Kossounou and Giorgio Scalvini to mark the opposition’s primary attacking threats to disrupt their transition play.
