Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Stadio Arechi will host Saturday’s football game between Salernitana and Atalanta, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table. Salernitana are eight points clear of the relegation zone, meaning that they should be happy with one point from the match. Poland forward Krzysztof Piatek is pushing for a start, while all Antonio Candreva, Norbert Gyomber, Federico Fazio, and Diego Valencia remain on the sidelines with injuries.
Meanwhile, the Orobici, on the other hand, aim to make amends for a 2-0 loss to Juventus. Atalanta are desperate to keep their Champions League hopes alive and seeing that they want this win more than Salernitana, we predict that the visitors are going to pick up all three points from the match. Luis Muriel is pushing for a start, while all Ademola Lookman, Jeremie Boga, Matteo Ruggeri, and Hans Hateboer remain on the sidelines with injuries.
