THE LOWDOWN
SALERNITANA
It has been an absolutely miserable campaign for Salernitana and their relegation was finally mathematically confirmed last weekend. The Salerno-based outfit went away to a struggling Frosinone side in the capital city and were hammered by three goals to nil with strikes from Matias Soule, Marco Brescianini and Nadir Zortea.
Salernitana, who have churned through four managers this season with a few weeks to go, are now coached by Stefano Colantuono, who has followed in the footsteps of Paulo Sousa, Filippo Inzaghi and Fabio Liverani this season. They have managed just two victories in their 34 matches so far this season.
ATALANTA
Under the management of Gian Piero Gasperini, Atalanta have the possibility of finishing this season with two trophies and UEFA Champions League qualification. The Bergamasci begin the weekend sitting just two points behind Roma in the top five with fifth spot now enough to secure UEFA Champions League football from Serie A for next season.
In the Coppa Italia, they overturned a 1-0 first-leg deficit by hammering Fiorentina by four goals to one in Bergamo to set up a final with Juventus later this month. They shared a 1-1 draw with Olympique de Marseille at Stade Velodrome in the first-leg of their UEFA Europa League semi-final in midweek.

THE PREDICTION
There aren’t many absolute nailed on foregone conclusions in European football but it would take something seriously special and shocking for Salernitana to take anything from this game. This is a Salernitana side that would struggle to stay in the top-half of Serie B up against an Atalanta side romping their way to a potentially historic campaign. A comfortable away win is to be expected for this one this weekend.
TIP: ATALANTA TO WIN -1 HANDICAP
