Atalanta vs Salernitana Prediction & Betting Tips (18 December)

Atalanta Bergamo, 8th overall, is only 2 points away from the Top 4 and a place in the Champions League. The victory against the red lantern Salernitana should be obvious for Gasperini's team which has just won its last two matches against AC Milan 3-2 and in Poland against Rakow 0-4 in the Europa League this Thursday evening. The Bergamasques have scored 24 goals in the league and Ademola Lookman, the club's top scorer, is 8th in the scorers' ranking with 6 goals. Salernitana has never won away from home and has conceded 14 goals in 7 away games, an average of 2 goals per trip.

Salernitana has always conceded at least 1 goal each day of Serie A since last August. Pipo Inzaghi's team conceded 2 goals in the same match 10 times during the first 15 days of Serie A. Salernitana has very bad memories of its last trip to Bergamo where it conceded 8 goals at the Gewiss Stadium with a double of Lookman.

Over the course of their last 15 Serie A matches, Salernitana have been involved in just a couple of contests in which both teams have found the net, so this is a pretty unusual occurrence. Not only that, but at least one of the two goalkeepers has emerged with a clean sheet from eight of the previous 12 top-flight fixtures involving Atalanta.
