Napoli vs Salernitana Prediction & Betting Tips - Serie A

A stuttering Napoli will hope to revive their campaign as they come up against the basement club Salernitana this weekend. This Serie A matchday 20 will be played at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Saturday. Ahead of this round, the hosts are 9th in the standings with 28 points while the visitors are 20th with 12 points. Napoli find themselves five points from top-four teams, which seems to be their realistic target. That is more so as the leaders Inter Milan are 20 points ahead, before this round. The defending champions were beaten 3-0 by Torino in their last league game, making it three defeats and a draw from their last four competitive matches. Each of those matches saw them fail to score, highlighting their growing troubles. In fact, even at home, Napoli have failed to score in three of their last four league games.

Salernitana may be bottom of the standings, but start this round three points adrift of safety places. They are also coming off a defeat, a 2-1 loss to second-placed Juventus. That made it five defeats from their last seven competitive matches, with only a 1-0 win over Verona being a victory. That came in the league, and remains their only victory across their last six league games – four losses and a draw otherwise. The challenge is to replicate that win on the road, where they have lost six of their last eight away league games while failing to score in five of those.
