The action in Serie A this weekend rounds off on Monday, as Atalanta look to record a second straight victory. Salernitana will be the visitors, as they continue their desperate hunt for points in the Italian top flight.
Serie A Preview
It could be argued that both Atalanta and Salernitana have points to prove on Monday evening, as neither have put in the level of performances that many would have expected this term. Atalanta come into the round sitting down in eighth after losing three of their last five matches. However, a return to form could see them end the round sitting in the top four spots.
Atalanta at least got back to winning ways in their previous fixture, as they snatched maximum points in the closing stages against AC Milan last Saturday. Their winning effort was netted by Luis Muriel in the fifth minute of injury time, just minutes after Milan were reduced to ten. Ademola Lookman was also in excellent form last weekend, as the winger scored twice.
There is likely to be pressure on Salernitana once again this weekend, as they remain locked at the foot of the Serie A standings. They are in danger of getting cut adrift in the relegation spots, as they already sit four points from safety after 15 matches. The Italian side has won just once in the league this term, and have suffered a joint-high of nine defeats.
Salernitana comes into the latest round after suffering defeats in their last two matches in the Italian top flight. Their most recent defeat was suffered at home, as they were made to pay for a low start against Bologna after conceding twice inside the opening 20 minutes. But, they did pull a goal back with 15 minutes remaining to threaten a comeback.
Atalanta vs Salernitana Head to Head
Salernitana landed a rare win over Atalanta in the previous clash between these sides in May. However, memories of their previous visit to their rivals will remain fresh, as they were handsomely beaten by an 8-2 scoreline in this exact fixture last term.
Atalanta vs Salernitana Prediction
Salernitana have struggled for victories in the top flight this term, and this could be a testing assignment against an Atalanta side that looked back to their best in their previous match. Therefore, we will be siding with Atalanta to land maximum points on Monday.
