Salernitana vs Bologna Prediction & Betting Tips - Serie A

Prediction published on 08/12/2023, 12:00  by Sridhar in Serie A Predictions

Bologna will be desperate to post their first away win of the Serie A season when they travel to basement club Salernitana. This league match will be played at the Stadio Arechi on Sunday with the hosts bottom on eight points and the visitors 7th on 22 points. Salernitana start this round three points adrift of safety zone but aren’t looking any closer to finding consistency in their bid to avoid relegation. They were beaten 3-0 by Fiorentina in the last round to make it an eighth loss across their last 12 Serie A matches. This sequence saw them win just once, but that came right before the defeat to Fiorentina. What more, it came in their last match at this venue in a 2-1 defeat of Lazio.

Bologna start two points behind top-five teams but with ninth-placed Lazio only two points behind, there’s so much at stake. The visitors were pegged to a 1-1 draw against Lecce in their last league game giving them four points from their last two matches. They haven’t been dominating matches as they would have wanted. That is perhaps due to their scoring record that has landed only 16 goals so far. Bologna’s struggles are amplified on the travels as they are yet to win an away game this season. They have drawn six and lost just once, but the absence of a win puts pressure on them to improve immediately.
