The clash between Atalanta BC and Roma on Sunday night in Serie A will bring together two teams with contrasting emotions from their recent Europa League semi-finals.

Atalanta, having secured their first-ever spot in a European final, are riding high after a convincing victory over Marseille, sealing their place with a strong performance at home.

Ademola Lookman's breakthrough goal after 30 minutes at the Gewiss Stadium, followed by strikes from Matteo Ruggeri and second-half substitute El Bilal Toure, secured Atalanta's 4-1 aggregate win, showcasing their dominance on their home turf.

With a record of just two losses in 18 home games in the Europa League and its predecessor, along with 11 wins and nine clean sheets, Atalanta's coach Gian Piero Gasperini has led his team to yet another second-leg success.

While Gasperini's focus might be on the upcoming Europa League final in Dublin, he's well aware of the importance of staying grounded and turning attention back to domestic competitions, especially with a critical week ahead.

Atalanta's upcoming Coppa Italia final against Juventus next Wednesday adds to the stakes, as they also aim to secure Champions League football through their league performance.

With four games left, La Dea is currently fifth in the standings after their 2-1 comeback victory over Salernitana, who have already been demoted. This season, there are five spaces available in Serie A.

The Nerazzurri control their own destiny as they have one game remaining against their biggest rivals, which includes Sunday's visitors. This season, they have won 11 of their 16 home games, collecting 35 points.

Atalanta has won three of their last four league meetings against Roma in Bergamo, as many as they have in the previous eleven, despite their tendency to struggle against other members of Italy's top six.

Bayer Leverkusen, in their Europa League semi-final second leg match, managed to secure a victory with a last-minute goal, extending their unbeaten streak. This defeat saw Roma, last year's finalists, succumb to a 4-2 aggregate loss.

Atalanta can still afford to finish sixth and qualify for the Champions League if they win the Europa League, but Roma now needs to win three games in a row to wrap off their campaign.

The Giallorossi are now headed to Lombardy unbeaten in seven Serie A away games since De Rossi took over; failing to extend that run would deal a fatal blow to hopes of returning to Europe's top table. Last week, despite taking the lead through Romelu Lukaku, the Giallorossi were held to a 1-1 home draw by Juventus.

Known for their knack of scoring late goals, Bayer Leverkusen added another to their tally, which now stands as one of the highest in Europe's top five leagues this season, alongside Liverpool and Barcelona. Despite Roma being competitive in this aspect, they experienced a reversal of fortune in Germany.

Though Leandro Paredes converted two penalties to level the tie for Daniele De Rossi's team, conceding twice after the 80th minute dashed Roma's hopes of reaching the final and sought retribution for their defeat in the previous season's semi-finals.

With the prospect of an all-Italian final against Atalanta dashed, Roma's only upcoming encounter with La Dea is in Serie A this weekend. Both teams are currently tied on 60 points, though Roma have played one game more, after a 1-1 draw in their previous fixture in January.

With the upcoming match falling between a continental semi-final and the Coppa Italia decider next week, it's uncertain how Atalanta will shape their team, yet Gian Piero Gasperini is anticipated to maintain consistency with minimal alterations.

Despite injuries sidelining Rafael Toloi and Emil Holm, there's a possibility of Sead Kolasinac returning from a thigh issue, potentially joining the hosts' squad.

Mario Pasalic and Giorgio Scalvini are among those eyeing a promotion from the bench, alongside El Bilal Toure. However, Gianluca Scamacca, a product of Roma's youth system, might aim to secure a starting spot against his former club.

Scamacca showcased his prowess by scoring in Salerno earlier this week, marking his fourth consecutive goal in Serie A, a milestone in his top-flight career.

Paulo Dybala, a key threat for Roma, missed their midweek Europa League match due to an adductor problem. Though he participated in training on Friday, the Argentine star won't feature against Atalanta.

With Leonardo Spinazzola facing a potentially season-ending injury from the Leverkusen match, Angelino is poised to take his place at left-back for the visitors. Meanwhile, Zeki Celik could reclaim his position on the right flank.
