Let's look at this absorbing fixture in the Serie A. Salernitana is in the 20th position from participating in three games. They welcome Atalanta who are placed 10th from three matches.

Insights:
  • Salernitana have the most conceded goals (11) in Serie A

The visiting Atalanta played their last game only four days ago, a Champions League match. That game was also an away game, at Villarreal. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

These teams have little in common geographically as Atalanta have to travel 800 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Salernitana form and stats

The home fans saw their team lose the first Serie A game of the season here at Stadio Arechi. Last season these fans witnessed 11 wins, 6 draws and 2 losses from Salernitana's 19 home games. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Salernitana to get some points in this home game.

Stress levels are on the rise for Salernitana's attacking players as they have now played 200 minutes without scoring in a league game. M. Coulibaly was their last goal scorer.

Salernitana faced defeat in their previous match, away at Torino (0-4). Midfield player Wajdi Kechrida got a match rating of 6.81 in that game, the max score being 10. Kechrida hit three key passes. As you see from the result above, Salernitana suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.

Ahead of that match, Salernitana lost 0-4 at home to Roma.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Serie A game versus Hellas Verona in only four days. This game is also played here at Stadio Arechi.

At Stadio Arechi, Salernitana has the goal stats of 0-4 (for/against) from 1 league fixture.

Atalanta form and stats

A perfect away game record so far for the visitors in the Serie A, but they have only played once. Last season their away game stats were 11 wins, 6 draws and 2 defeats from 19 matches.

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Villarreal in their previous outing. The Champions League match ended in a draw 2-2. Midfielder Robin Gosens was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.84. Gosens scored one goal and dribled passed the opponent 1 of 1 times.

The game before that, in the Serie A, was lost at home, a 1-2 defeat against Fiorentina.

A new game in only three days for Atalanta, the Serie A home match versus Sassuolo. Busy days.

It's early days yet, but Atalanta has scored 2 and conceded 1 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
