The answers to our quiz-stories

How many matches between Atalanta and Salernitana have previously been played thus far?
14

Sunday’s fixture will mark the 15th official match in all competitions (considering Serie A, Serie B and Coppa Italia alike) between Atalanta and Salernitana. With the Nerazzurri never coming off worse once before: out of the 14 prior matches against the Garnets, the scales are tipped in Atalanta’s favour on the strength of 6 victories and 8 draws.

In which stadium did Éderson score his latest Serie A goal?
Gewiss Stadium

Before landing in Bergamo, Éderson made his debut in the Serie A defending Salernitana’s colours, making 15 appearances and scoring 2 goals. While he scored his first at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium in Genova against Sampdoria, he slotted his second and last so far in at the Gewiss Stadium, against Atalanta. Moreover, provided that in all three most recent encounters between Atalanta and Salernitana the Campanian side managed to score not even once, Éderson’s goal counts as Salernitana’s first and only one scored against Atalanta in Serie A. While waiting for his first as a Nerazzurro player, you can find the photo reel of that match down below.

How many times have we defeated Salernitana in Serie A?
Once

With only four previous encounters between the two teams in Serie A, whereas the two fixtures played in the 1947/48 season both culminated in goalless 0-0 draws; last season came Atalanta’s first victory in Serie A against Salernitana as the Orobic imposed themselves 1-0 in the away match at the Arechi stadium (courtesy of Zapata), followed by the 1-1 draw at the Gewiss Stadium in the second leg with Pašalić scoring the equalizer.

Which current Atalanta player made the most appearances during their loan spell for Salernitana?
Zortea

Although Matteo Ruggeri made 15 appearances, out of which 14 have been in Serie A, in his loan spell for Salernitana last season, Nadir Zortea holds the primacy in this particular contest on the grounds of his 29 appearances, one of which was in the Coppa Italia, for Salernitana scoring also one goal.

How many times have Gasperini and Nicola crossed paths in Serie A?
7

With seven previous Serie A encounters between Gasperini and Nicola, all of them while “Gasp” was at the helm of Atalanta, the balance is tipped in favour of the coach from Grugliasco on account of 4 victories and 3 draws. Being Atalanta’s current coach still unbeaten against teams coached by his colleague, Nicola is the trainer who Gasperini has faced for the highest number of consecutive Serie A matches without knowing defeat.
