The already-relegated Salernitana have nothing but pride to play for as they entertain high-flying Champions League chasers Atalanta. The Serie A matchday 35 fixture at the Stadio Arechi on Monday will have the hosts start at the at the bottom of the table with 15 points, while the visitors are sixth with 57 points. Salernitana are already relegated and have nothing left to play for. With only two wins and 23 defeats, they have been struggling consistently through the season. A 3-0 defeat to Fiorentina last time out was their sixth defeat in seven matches and extended their winless run in the competition to 16 matches. Even at home, they have lost eight of their last ten league matches, drawing the other two. Nine of those matches saw them concede at least two goals, so there’s bound to be some goal action in this match.

Atalanta started the weekend two points behind fifth-placed Roma, having played a game less. Lazio are two points behind and could be ahead of Atalanta at kick-off if they win against Monza on Saturday. Yet, the visitors have form on their side to make a dash towards a top-five finish that will guarantee Champions League action next year. Atalanta defeated Empoli 2-0 in their last league game, which was their third win in five matches in the competition. A 1-1 draw with Marseille in the Europa League last time out meant they will have their thoughts on the upcoming second leg. It is their away form that is cause for worry, though, as Atalanta have won only two of their last six away league matches, drawing and losing two each.
