The Serie A encounter between Atalanta and Salernitana is scheduled for Monday, May 6, at the Stadio Arechi in Salerno. The relegated hosts will face the team who is till fighting for the European competitions next season.
Atalanta
Atalanta, under the astute leadership of Gian Piero Gasperini, enters the game as heavy favorites. Their solid form was evident in their last league match where they secured a 2-0 victory over Empoli, showcasing their tactical strength and scoring ability through goals from Mario Pasalic and Ademola Lookman.
Salernitana
Salernitana, led by Stefano Colantuono, is in dire straits, having been consigned to relegation after a string of poor performances. Their recent 0-3 loss to Frosinone marked another low in a season filled with defensive woes and missed opportunities. With only two draws and eight losses in their last ten games, scoring a mere three goals and conceding twenty-five, their prospects look grim against the Bergamo-based powerhouse.
