Roma head coach Gian Piero Gasperini will be looking to get a win over his former club Atalanta, with both sides heading into the clash after winning their opening two Serie A matches.
The hosts have started the season flying high, having recorded consecutive 4-0 victories in the league over Fiorentina and Lecce.
Donyell Malen, who has been an important player, scored twice against Lecce on Monday to take his league tally to five goals already.
The Giallorossi became the third team in Serie A history to score at least eight goals with two clean sheets in their opening two matches.
They have also won seven straight league games, and another victory here would see Roma win both of their opening home league fixtures for the first time since 2022/23.
Meanwhile, Atalanta secured a 1-0 victory over Bologna on Monday thanks to a stoppage-time goal, extending their winning run to three matches across all competitions.
New manager Maurizio Sarri can now guide La Dea to three straight victories at the beginning of a league campaign for the first time since 2020/21.
However, completing that feat at the Olimpico will be no easy task. Atalanta have won just two of their last seven Serie A away matches.
They will be boosted by their head-to-head record against the hosts, having stayed unbeaten in their last four away trips.
