Salernitana vs Hellas Verona Prediction & Betting Tips - Serie A

Prediction published on 20/05/2024, 03:49  by Daniel Ngulu in Serie A Predictions

Salernitana will have their final Serie A home match of the season on Monday, hosting Verona before dropping to Serie B. Verona are in danger of dropping to the second tier too, and only a win here guarantees their stay in Serie A. Having already been relegated, Salernitana can only play for pride here. A stoppage time goal from Juventus denied Salernitana a win in their last game, which ended 1-1. Even with a win in that game, Salernitana’s fate had already been sealed. They are 13 points behind 19th place and as such, are sure to finish bottom. Coincidentally, Salernitana’s last win was against Verona, in the reverse fixture, back in December. It has been a 19-game run without a win for the hosts, but they will be keen on finishing at home on a high. Their draw with Juventus ended the run of four straight losses. In their last 19 matches, they suffered 15 defeats, and managed just one clean sheet.

Verona and Salernitana have met five times in the Serie A before. Just like it was in the reverse meeting, Salernitana have been the dominant side. Verona come here with just one win in the five league meetings with Salenitana, and three defeats. In those five matches, Verona only kept a clean sheet when they emerged winners. Three times in the said five meetings, the two teams managed to score. Coming into this game, Verona have 34 points, which is just two above the relegation zone. They will thus be eyeing three points here to be sure of safety. In their last game, they failed to build on their 2-1 win over Fiorentina, falling by the same margin at home to Torino. Thomas Henry was sent off in an eventful finale of the game as Verona conceded two late goals to lose their slim lead. With two wins in the last eight matches, Verona come here with a much better run than their hosts. Away from home though, they have just a win in 17 matches.
