Atalanta vs Salernitana prediction, preview, team news and more | Serie A 2021-22
Atalanta return to action next week and will host Salernitana at the Gewiss Stadium on Monday night in the 35th round of the Italian Serie A.
The home team have had a season to forget and are in danger of missing out on Europe for the first time since the 2018-19 season. However, they played out an entertaining 4-4 draw against Torino last time out, going behind twice and coming back to level the scores on both occasions.
Atalanta sit eighth in the league table with 55 points from 34 games. They will now be looking to return to winning ways this weekend as they push for European football.
Salernitana have hit good form of late and are now fighting to retain their top-flight status. They beat Europe-chasing Fiorentina 2-1 in their last game via goals from Milan Duric and Federico Bonazzoli.
The Garnets sit 19th in the Serie A standings with 25 points from 33 games. They will be looking to continue their winning run as they seek to exit the drop zone.
Atalanta vs Salernitana Head-to-Head

Atalanta vs Salernitana Prediction
Atalanta have won just one of their last seven games across all competitions. They are winless in their last five games at the Gewiss Stadium and will be looking to end that run next week.
Salernitana are on a three-game winning streak, their best run of form since their promotion to the top-flight. They are brimming with confidence at the moment and could pick up a point in Bergamo on Monday.
Prediction: Atalanta 1-1 Salernitana
