Banker of the Week: Salernitana vs. Atalanta Preview and Betting Picks

We cashed 2 bankers in a row, on both occasions with AS Roma. They covered the -1 Asian Handicap at +100 winning 4-0 against Salernitana beating Sassuolo 2-1 last weekend with Stephan El Shaarawy aka Il Faraone scoring in the injury time with Roma’s boss José Mourinho celebrating his 1,000th game as a manager with a classic celebration. Let’s make it 3 in a row with another Serie A-game.

Salernitana vs. Atalanta

Saturday, September 18, 2021 - 02:45 PM EDT at Stadio Arechi

Salernitana, 3 games, 3 defeats, 2 goals score,d and 11 conceded in the process. A team to fade… They are huge favorites to get relegated and return to Serie B. We can’t wait to see how many wins they will record at the end of the season.

Let’s remember Benevento 3 seasons ago, 6 wins in 38 games (-51 goals difference), Chievo 2 seasons ago, 2 wins in 38 games (-50 goals difference), and Parma last term, 3 wins during the entire season (-42 goals difference). There’s always a team to fade in Serie A and the best thing is that the bookies are offering some decent odds on them to lose.

Yes, it’s just the start of the season with just 3 games in the bag and Salernitana have some interesting players in their squad. Former Crotone’s player, Simy, who last year scored 20 goals for a team who got relegated, is trying to adapt fast, start scoring goals and help Salernitana to stay up.

Ex-Bayern Munich and Fiorentina star, the 38-year-old veteran winger Franck Ribery has decided to extend his stay in Serie A signing with the new boys, Salernitana. He’s the most high-profile signing in the club’s 100+ year history and his presence is very important for young Salernitana’s players. He will bring his experience and he will be the coach from the pitch always trying to make his teammates improve and give their best in every single match.

On the other side, Atalanta is one of the top teams in Italy. In 2019 they finished 7th and in the last 2 seasons, they finished 3rd, behind Juve and Napoli and behind Inter Milan and AC Milan respectively.

They kicked off their domestic campaign with 1 win, 1 draw, and 1 defeat. They enter this game on the back of a 2-2 UCL draw in Spain against Villarreal. Duvan Zapata marked his return from injury with a goal last time out against Fiorentina but his attacking teammate, Luis Muriel is still out injured.

This clash is the perfect opportunity for Atalanta to return to winning ways and start going up in the standings. They will surely line up their best team against Salernitana with Zapata leading the attack. Our only worry is that Salernitana will have their fans next to them as they are playing at home and for the small teams playing on their home turf in front of their fans is very important. But Atalanta are eager to bounce back, and we expect them to start strong and win this game from half-time.
