The Serie A match between Atalanta BC and Salernitana will take place at Gewiss Stadium on Tuesday at 1:15 am IST.
Atalanta BC, gaining momentum as they approach the new year, hosts the bottom-of-the-table Salernitana at the Gewiss Stadium on Monday in Serie A. Gian Piero Gasperini’s team secured a notable victory against AC Milan last weekend and continued their impressive performance in Europe with a heavily-rotated squad.
Atalanta, after a challenging period with just one point from four games, now brims with confidence following a perfect week domestically and in Europe. Their dramatic 3-2 victory over Milan and a resounding 4-0 win against Rakow Czestochowa showcased their resurgence. Luis Muriel played a pivotal role, scoring a late winner against Milan and netting twice in the midweek European clash. Sitting in eighth place with 23 points, Atalanta intensifies the top-four race, with only two points separating them from fourth-placed Roma. Facing Salernitana, Atalanta aims to secure three crucial points before a key clash with Bologna.
Under Filippo Inzaghi’s management, Salernitana secured their first win against Lazio but have since collected only five points in seven games, with defeats to Fiorentina and Bologna. Facing Atalanta poses a significant challenge for Salernitana, who, after eight goalless defeats this season, saw Simy score in a losing effort against Bologna. With just 11 Serie A goals, Salernitana managed a victory over Atalanta late last season with a solitary goal. However, in their last meeting at Gewiss Stadium, Atalanta dominated, recording an 8-2 win, the highest-scoring and most significant victory margin in Serie A that season.
Atalanta BC probable starting lineup: Musso, De Roon, Djimsiti, Scalvini, Zappacosta, Ederson, Pasalic, Koopmeiners, Ruggieri, Lookman, De Ketelaere
Salernitana probable starting lineup: Costil, Daniliuc, Gyomber, Pirola, Mazzocchi, Coulibaly, Bohinen, Bradaric, Dia, Ikwuemesi, Candreva
