In his third home debut as a coach, Ranieri is likely to adhere to the strategies seen last Thursday in the away game of the Europa League against Tottenham.

Following a draw in the fifth round of the Europa League against Tottenham in London, Roma re-enters the field in a league match for the challenging game against Atalanta. The match at Olimpico will also mark the first home game for Claudio Ranieri in his third stint at the helm of the Giallorossi. The Testaccio technician is leaning toward the continued use of the 3-4-2-1 formation seen in England, with the debut of Hummels at the Olimpico from the first minute. Alongside the German will be Mancini and Ndicka, with Celik (edging out Saelemaekers) and Angelino on the flanks. In midfield, the pair of Koné-Paredes has been confirmed, with the latter being challenged by Cristante. There’s no doubt about the offensive trio: Dybala and El Shaarawy will operate behind Dovbyk. Tuttosport has revealed their lineup in a 3-4-2-1 formation: Svilar is the goalkeeper, with Mancini, Hummels, and Ndicka forming the defensive line. The midfield consists of Saelemaekers, Koné, Paredes, and Angeliño. El Shaarawy and Dybala will be supporting Dovbyk in the forward position.

Likewise, Il Corriere Della Sera has unveiled their squad showcasing the same 3-4-2-1 formation. Svilar is guarding the net, backed by Mancini, Hummels, and Ndicka in defense. Saelemaekers, Koné, and Angeliño make up the midfield, however, there might be a shuffle between Cristante and Paredes. El Shaarawy and Dybala will be feeding the balls to Dovbyk at the attack. THE MESSENGER’s formation (3-4-2-1): Svilar takes the role of the goalkeeper; forming a robust defense barrier are Mancini, Hummels, and Ndicka; Celik, Koné, Paredes, Angeliño will act as the midfield gatekeepers; El Shaarawy and Dybala, the dynamic duo form the offensive mid-field; while Dovbyk is perfectly positioned as the lone forward, ready to strike at the heart of the opposing defence.

Meanwhile, IL TEMPO’s formidable line-up (5-4-1): Svilar is entrusted with the goaltending duties; a sizeable defense structure is formed by Celik, Mancini, Hummels, Ndicka, Angeliño; Dybala, Paredes, Koné, El Shaarawy charged with controlling the midfield tussles; with Dovbyk chosen as the sole attacker, the hopes of the team’s goal-scoring tally rests on his shoulders.
