Salernitana vs Atalanta Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 13th May 2023

The Serie A clash at Stadio Arechi this coming Saturday sees home team Salernitana battling it out for the win against Atalanta.

Salernitana have collected too many draws recently which have slowed down their progress. Their upcoming duel with Atalanta could be a good chance to get a win instead.

Salernitana are relatively average in the art of goal-scoring these days. They scored a steady 14 goals in their previous ten matches, for an average of 1.4 per game. They simultaneously allowed their opponents 12 goals, or an average of 1.2 a game. Furthermore, they fought their way to two clean sheets in this run.

Atalanta scored 14 goals, conceded 13 and managed one clean sheet in their previous ten matches.

Supporters will be hoping to see a similarly thrilling encounter, as it turned out to be the last time Salernitana played against Atalanta. It finished 8-2 in a great match between the pair.

Salernitana vs Atalanta Prediction

Salernitana Form

It is neither good nor disastrous for Salernitana with just two points from their last three matches. They first drew 1-1 against SSC Napoli, followed by another draw. This time 3-3 against Fiorentina, before going down in a 2-1 defeat against Empoli. Salernitana claimed a modest two wins in their past six home matches in the Serie A. They also drew three and lost one, scored 12 goals and conceded eight.

They went into the season as candidates for the drop, and unfortunately for Salernitana, they have lived up to expectations. As the season draws to a close, they are still in with a chance of escaping relegation, though.

Atalanta Form

In the last three matches, Atalanta beat Torino 1-2, won 3-2 against Spezia, and lost 0-2 against Juventus. Atalanta won half their previous six away matches in the Serie A, as well as seeing one draw and suffering two defeats. They scored eight goals whilst conceding seven.

Atalanta are favoured by the bookmakers, and while we are certain, Salernitana is going to put up a fight, we believe the visitors will prevail in the end.

Atalanta recorded 20 points following six wins from their last ten games against teams placed among the bottom six. They scored 24 goals, but also conceded 12. Salernitana so far pulled off a record of seven wins, 14 draws and 13 defeats in the Serie A this season. Atalanta so far pulled off 17 wins, seven draws and ten defeats in the Serie A.
