Salernitana

LLLDLL 📉

Following on from suffering a loss in their previous game against SSC Napoli in Serie A action, Salernitana will be aiming to make amends here.

In that game, Salernitana had 26% possession and 5 attempts on goal with 2 of them on target. Napoli got 9 attempts at goal with 4 of them on target. Giovanni Di Lorenzo (45') and Victor Osimhen (48') scored for SSC Napoli.

A series of fairly underwhelming displays from the Salernitana defence has resulted in a record of 18 goals being leaked by them in just their previous six fixtures. They definitely need to see an improvement in this unwanted part of their game.

Heading into this contest, Salernitana have not won away from home in their last 3 league games.

⚡ Prediction

We’ve got the feeling that Lecce should be able to create a good number of chances & successful shots on target.

Conversely, Salernitana will not find it easy finding the net themselves but we do think that it’s more than likely that they will be managing to get on the scoresheet as well here.

We reckon that it will be a 3-1 winning margin for Lecce at the end of this one.
