DLLLDL 📉

Salernitana will be hoping to bounce back here after a 4-1 Serie A defeat last time out to Lazio.

In that game, Salernitana had 35% possession and 8 attempts on goal with 5 on target. The only player to score for Salernitana was Loum Tchaouna (16'). Lazio got 17 shots at goal with 6 of them on target. Felipe Anderson (7', 35'), Matías Vecino (14') and Gustav Isaksen (87') scored for Lazio.

It has been a rare occasion in recent times where Salernitana have kept a clean sheet. The facts show that Salernitana have seen their defence breached in 6 of their previous 6 matches, letting in 15 goals in the process. We shall soon find out whether or not that trend will be continued on here.

Pre-game facts show that Salernitana:

• haven't won against Fiorentina in their last 3 league games.
• have not won at home in their last 9 league matches. It's been disappointing.

📋 Team News: Salernitana

Toma Bašić (unknown injury), Giulio Maggiore (Knee problems) and Grigoris Kastanos (Knee injury) are unavailable for Salernitana boss Stefano Colantuono. Lassana Coulibaly is ineligible for this match because of suspension.

We are thinking that I granata look set to kick off with a 4-4-1-1 system with Benoit Costil, Niccolo Pierozzi, Norbert Gyomber, Lorenzo Pirola, Domagoj Bradaric, Loum Tchaouna, Mateusz Legowski, Agustin Martegani, Emanuel Vignato, Antonio Candreva and C. Ikwuemesi.

ℹ️ Team News: Fiorentina

Out of a mainly healthy group, there’s only the one fitness worry for the Fiorentina manager Vincenzo Italiano to contend with. Giacomo Bonaventura (Ankle problems) misses out for this game.

From our viewpoint, La Viola could decide to make use of a 4-2-3-1 lineup, giving starts to Pietro Terracciano, Marco Davide Faraoni, L. Martinez Quarta, Luca Ranieri, Fabiano Parisi, Maxime Lopez, Alfred Duncan, Jonathan Ikone, Antonin Barak, Riccardo Sottil and Christian Kouame.

💭 Prediction

Looking at these two teams, we feel that Salernitana might have a difficult job to be putting a goal past this Fiorentina outfit who will likely score one, at least.

Our tip is therefore for a very even match with a 0-1 winning score for Fiorentina when the full-time whistle blows.
