But, this is not the same story for everyone, as there are also those teams whohave not shown improvement so far. Atalanta vs Salernitana will play this Sunday, January 15, with the home team installed at the top six of the standings. Meanwhile, the Salernitana is currently in the second half of the standings.
Salernitana is desperate for a win, as it has not won a match since last October, a 1-3 victory over Lazio. Also, the team has a five-game winless streak. On their part, Atalanta has not lost in the two games it has played so far in 2023, and the team hopes to continue that adding wins to their record.

Atalanta preview
Atalanta has earned enough points to find itself among the privileged positions in Serie A. The team currently has 31 points, as a result of nine wins, four draws and four defeats. Those numbers are good enough for occupying the sixth place in the standings, but it is also only three points behind the fourth place.
This team did not lose any of the matches they played in this 2023, and it has just ended a four-game winless streak by defeating Bologna by a 1-2 score in their most recent encounter. In this matchday 18, it will also seek to put an end to the negative record it has in their home games, as it has lost three times in a row.
Probable lineup (3-4-1-2):Juan Musso; Rafael Toloi, José Palomino, Giorgio Scalvini; Hans Hateboer, Marten De Roon, Teun Koopmeiners, Matteo Ruggeri; Mario Pasalic; Duván Zapata, Rasmus Hojlund.
Salernitana preview
Salernitana has dropped important points that could help the team climb up a few positions in the overall standings. It’s five games without a win have been a result of two draws and three defeats. At least, heading into this match, the team ended a run of three defeats in a row after a 1-1 draw against Torino.
The Salerno team is certainly concerned about its current situation, especially considering that it has four wins, six draws and seven defeats in 17 games played. For now, it can breathe easy with those numbers, as it is in 14th place in the standing and 9 points away from the relegation zone.
Probable lineup (3-5-2): Guillermo Ochoa; Dylan Bronn, Flavius Daniliuc, Federico Fazio; Antonio Candreva, Hans Nicolussi, Emil Bohinen, Tonny Vilhena, Domagoj Bradaric; Boulaye Dia, Federico Bonazzoli.
JefeBet Prediction
Up to this point in the season, the two teams have shown different things, especially in terms of performance. Despite Atalanta’s unreliability at home, this match is winnable for Gian Piero Gasperini’s side, as on the two occasions they have met in Serie A, the Bergamo group has never lost: one draw and one win.
Prediction: Atalanta win by a score of 2-1.
