Following the home loss to Bologna, Roma will travel to Bergamo to face Atalanta in a key match for the race for a Champions League spot. The giallorossi's manager Paulo Fonseca is well aware of what it's in store as he explained during the pre match press conference:"I expect a difficult match, Atalanta are aggressive defensively but at same time attack with great quality. It will be one of the most difficult matches for us"
Fonseca was asked how he plans to make up for Diawara and Cristante's absences:"Mancini in the midfield? We had good games playing him there, it's a possibility for tomorrow. I have yet to decide if on defense I would eventually prefer Fazio or Cetin. Carlos Perez? Tomorrow will be an odd match, it wouldn't be easy for him to start it. Under? When we lose it's not just the fault of one player or two. Young players struggle more than veterans in these situations"
