Salernitana vs Atalanta Match Preview

Salernitana welcomes Atalanta at Stadio Arechi for the 35th matchday of the Italian Serie A.

Salernitana couldn't avoid a 2-1 defeat tof Empoli on the road the previous matchday. They didn't catch on to the good performance of previous games and were deservedly beaten by conceding a goal in each half, finding just a goal in the final quarter.

Thus, an unbeaten streak of 10 games ended for Salernitana, however, they have essentially secured their stay in the division being in 15th place with 35 points, 8 points away from the relegation zone.

It was also a bad result for Atalanta the previous matchday, they were defeated 0-2 by Juventus in Bergamo. They were the team that had the ball possession in the game, they missed many chances to score hitting the post twice, but they paid for their inefficiency, unlike their opponent who found the way to the back of the net twice in the second half.

After this defeat, Atalanta lost many of their hopes to catch up with the top four of the standings, the end of the matchday found them in 6th place with 58 points, 5 less than 4th-placed Inter.

I expect a match with a one-sided interest, Salernitana has a safe distance from the bottom three and goes in this match without stress. In contrast to Atalanta, who need to win to maintain their slim hopes for a top-four spot. So the team from Bergamo is obliged to look for the three-pointer here, while the attacking style of the hosts can help us see a fast-paced match. My pick here the Over 2.5 goals alternative at decent 1,73 odds.
