Salernitana vs Atalanta Predictions

• Atlanta have the best record in Serie A across their last eight games
• Salernitana have seen both teams score in eight of their last nine
• The hosts have lost all but one of their home meetings with the top seven

Can Atalanta salvage top-four hopes?

After their 2-0 loss to Juventus last weekend, Atalanta need a big turnaround if they’re going to secure a return to the Champions League. While la Dea look good to make up for missing out on Europe this season, they sit five points shy of the top four ahead of this visit to Salernitana.

The hosts just saw their unbeaten run end at Empoli on Monday, having had the second-longest run without defeat across Europe’s top five leagues after Manchester City. The hosts have pulled themselves clear of the drop zone, but their record against the league’s top teams has been poor. That includes a huge 8-2 defeat at Atalanta earlier this term.

Visitors to rack up the goals

While Salernitana have been better of late, they’ve lost five of their six home meetings with the top seven heading into this clash. Another defeat looms for them here, against Serie A’s form side.

The visitors have the best record in the league across the last eight games, while only champions Napoli have picked up more away points so far this term. However, Atalanta have conceded goals in their last nine league matches and both teams have scored in eight of the hosts’ last nine, so back an away win with both teams to score.
