Atalanta vs Salernitana Prediction: Will the Bergamas be able to consolidate their success?

Atalanta beat Bologna on the road and now will face Salernitana. Will the Bergamas be able to consolidate their success?

The team met in the previous round away against Bologna after a 2:2 draw with La Spezia, so the victory over the Red and Blue was significant for the Bergamo side. The game didn't start well for Atlanta - the opponents scored as early as 6 minutes. However, the break and several changes in the Bergamo squad turned the situation on the field. Now Atalanta has 31 points, sixth place in the Serie A table, and only three points behind the top four - the Champions League competitions.

The team began the second part of the championship with two consecutive home matches. First, Salernitana lost 1:2 to reigning champion AC Milan but then managed to take points from stalwart Torino (1:1). In 17 games, Salernitana has 18 points, 14th place in the standings, and a comfortable nine-point handicap from the relegation zone.

Salernitana has certain problems in defense this season. It is unlikely that even the newcomer to the team, Mexican goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa, can solve these problems. In the previous game against Torino, only luck saved Salernitana from defeat - the Bulls failed to convert many scoring chances. Atalanta had an excellent second half against Bologna, and there are reasons to believe they will continue in the same vein in the game with Salerno. So, the Pomegranates can again only count on luck. We'll take Atalanta's win here in a productive encounter - the Bergamas' defensive play after a pause in the championship is also questionable.
