Atalanta vs Salernitana Prediction 18.12.2023

• Competition: Serie A
• Date: 18.12.2023
• Kickoff: 19:45 UTC / 20:45 CET
• Venue: Gewiss Stadium (Bergamo)

Atalanta’s performance appears to have plateaued in recent seasons, including the current one. However, this team is brimming with potential and talent, so a resurgence in Italian football is a definite possibility. Despite the somewhat negative portrayal, Atalanta easily advanced from the group stage of the Europa League, topping their group and making it to the 1/8 finals. Currently, they hold the 8th position in Serie A, which isn’t a disappointing performance. In their previous round against Milan at home, they snapped a three-match winless streak with a 3-2 victory.

Salernitana, one of the clubs projected to struggle in the league before the season began, is currently living up to that expectation. They are at the bottom of the league table with a mere 8 points gained so far, having only won one out of 15 matches. Udinese, while only 4 points away from safety, seems to be struggling due to their rare victories. Salernitana’s performance has further been marred by their recent losses to Bologna and Fiorentina in the last two rounds.

Atalanta vs Salernitana pick: ATALANTA TO COVER AH -1.5

This season, the Bergamo club has suffered two losses in this stadium, but they were against formidable opponents such as Inter and Napoli. However, they have not encountered many difficulties when facing teams like Salernitan, even defeating the Salerno club 8-2 last season. Salernitana, on the other hand, has lost 5 of their last 6 away games. It would be quite impressive if they could secure a positive outcome in this stadium. Besides anticipating a victory for Atalanta, we predict a goal difference of 2 or 3.
