Atalanta vs Salernitana prediction 15.01.2023

• Competition: Serie A
• Date: Sunday, 15th January 2023
• Kickoff: 17:00 UK/18:00 CET
• Venue: Gewiss Stadium

Atalanta are playing well this season. They are 6th on the table, but the Champions League spot is only three points above. Atalanta won four points in two matches since the season was restarted. In the previous league round, they won 2-1 on the road against Bologna. That game was fairly even, but the guests did just enough to secure all three points. 

Atalanta are usually playing high-scoring matches. They went over 2.5 goals in nine of the last ten games, including friendlies. 

Salernitana's only goal this season is to stay away from the relegation zone. They are fulfilling that task as Davide Nicola's team is nine points above the drop zone. Still, Salernitana won only two points in the previous five Serie A rounds. In the previous match, they played 1-1 at home against Torino. Guests dominated as they had 61% ball possession and 23 shots on the goal, but Salernitana defended most of the game well. 

Salernitana allowed 17 goals in the last eight matches, including friendlies. Also, seven of those eight games went over 2.5 goals. 

Atalanta vs Salernitana pick: Over 2.5 goals

Atalanta are certainly a better side than Salernitana, but they are not playing that well at the home stadium this season. They won only three of eight games at Gewiss Stadium. On the other hand, Atalanta scored many goals recently, so over 2.5 goals should be a better option.
