Atalanta will be back in domestic action this weekend, as they look to maintain their challenge for a top six finish in Serie A. Salernitana will be the hosts on Saturday, as they look to end a three-match winless run and move clear of the bottom three places.
It will be a tense end to the season for Atalanta, as their place in the Europa League is far from assured. They currently sit sixth in the standings, but they could move back up to fifth with a success this weekend. However, a defeat could see them end the upcoming round outside of the top six altogether.
Atalanta’s recent form had been strong, as they have won three on the bounce. However, they suffered a tenth defeat of the season in their most recent outing. That loss came against Juventus, and they will be looking to avoid back-to-back games without scoring for the first time since the opening month of the campaign. The stakes will be high this weekend, and that often brings a performance out of this talented Atalanta side.
It looks as though Salernitana are already safe from the threat of relegation, as they sit eight points above the drop zone with four matches remaining. However, they come into this showdown in poor recent form, as they have gone three without a win. Their loss against Empoli last weekend ended a ten-game unbeaten run, but they recorded just two victories over that period.
Salernitana’s recent home form is a cause for optimism this weekend, as they have gone five without defeat at Stadio Arechi. They haven’t enjoyed a more successful period in home matches in Serie A under the same manager in their history.
There have been 14 previous clashes between these sides in all competitions, with Atalanta yet to lose on a single occasion. Over that period, they have recorded seven wins and seven draws. Their most recent success was in the reverse fixture this term, as Atalanta registered a huge 8-2 success.
Atalanta has certainly had the measure of Salernitana in the historical meetings between the sides. However, draws have been common throughout the previous meetings. That could be a solid selection this weekend after Salernitana has gone five without defeat at their home stadium.
