Salernitana - Atalanta predictions

The game is heavily lopsided in the visitors’ favour – for instance, most bookies are offering 8.40 odds on a home win. The hosts are no doubt in a difficult situation and don’t have much hope of overcoming Atalanta.

1.40 on away win might not sound too much but that’s what you get in a game where Atalanta are seen as absolute favourites to beat Salernitana. Away matches are always taken with a pinch of salt but anything other than a sweet victory for the visitors would be a first-class surprise.

Although Salernitana are coming on the back of a harsh 3:0 loss, it would be rather unfair to judge them purely on that performance. They were playing an away game in an extremely difficult matchup against Frosinone , so they spent most of the match trailing behind.

Atalanta’s performance was quite impressive in their latest game against Empoli. The 2:0 victory itself may have been predictable considering they were the hosts in a favourable matchup, but the overwhelming success which they achieved it is worth noting.

Looking over the home team’s recent record, we can see a worrying trend. They’ve conceded more than 5 goals over the past 3 matches alone, indicating problems in their defensive lineup.

Atalanta netted 6 goals in their last three showdowns, which means this match might be a great chance to look at Over Goals markets. With some luck, a confirmed Over 4.5 seems quite plausible.

Salernitana are currently in the relegation zone and going into a difficult match this Monday. With barely any matches rounds yet to be played, climbing up seems highly unlikely at this point.

Atalanta’s odds of walking away with another 3 points seem fairly decent, but they’ll need to make up a 2-point difference for a Champions League qualification spot. With any matches left to be played before the end, such an outcome seems increasingly unlikely.

The away team are seen as favourites despite their role as the visitors, and that makes a lot of sense considering the previous clash with Salernitana they had. Atalanta pulled far ahead of their opponents and secured a decisive victory.

The hosts are in an unenviable position either way, but a large number of reported injuries makes it even worse. Grigoris Kastanos, Norbert Gyömbér, Giulio Maggiore, Guillermo Ochoa, Niccolò Pierozzi, Iron Gomis, Jérôme Boateng are all forced to sit this one out. The hurdles set in front of Salernitana are considerable.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1.53 odds offered at Betway.
