Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Atalanta will be aiming to climb to the Champions League berth when they take on rock-bottom Salernitana at Stadio Arechi. The Orobici faced no difficulties in a 2-0 win over Empoli, but they face yet another must-win situation against I Granata. All Guillermo Ochoa, Giulio Maggiore, and Grigoris Kastanos are sidelined with injuries, while both Norbert Gyomber and Jerome Boateng are major doubts.
As Atalanta have been showing signs of improvement of late, anything but a routine away win would be a big surprise. Pacey forward Ademola Lookman should keep his place up front after finding the net in the triumph over Empoli. Isak Hien serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards, while fellow defenders Rafael Toloi and Emil Holm remain in the recovery room. Earlier this term Atalanta crushed Salernitana 4-1 in Bergamo and we predict that history is going to repeat itself.
