Atalanta vs Salernitana Prediction and Betting Tips | December 18th 2023
Atalanta will host Salernitana at the Gewiss Stadium on Monday in another round of the 2023-24 Serie A campaign.
The home side have had their struggles in the league this season but remain hopeful of securing continental football at the end of the campaign. They beat AC Milan 3-2 in their last league outing before carrying out a 4-0 thrashing of Rakow Czestochowa in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday.
Atalanta sit eighth in the league table with 23 points from 15 games. They will be looking to continue their winning streak when they play on Monday.
Salernitana, meanwhile, have failed to come alive in the league this season and currently find themselves in the drop zone. They were beaten 2-1 by Bologna in a tense clash on home turf last weekend finding themselves two goals down in the opening 20 minutes of the game before Simy came off the bench to halve the deficit 15 minutes from normal time.
The visitors sit rock-bottom in the Serie A standings with just eight points from 15 matches and will be desperate to add to that tally next week.
