Salernitana vs Fiorentina Prediction & Match Preview

Salernitana vs Fiorentina Match Preview

• Salernitana lost seven and drew two of the last nine league matches.
• Each of the previous five head-to-head clashes between these counterparts provided three or more goals.
• Four of Salernitana’s last five league fixtures also saw three or more goals scored.

Less than 72 hours after their remarkable UEFA Conference League success, Fiorentina travel to Salerno to lock horns with last-placed Salernitana in Matchday No 33 of Serie A. The Viola are winless in five straight league matches. The tie against the weakest team in the division will give them a great chance to end such a dismal thread.

Despite the negative trend in recent domestic fixtures, the Viola will go into this on a high. They advanced to the Conference League semi-final with a 2-0 extra-time win over ten-man Viktoria Plzen on Thursday evening at Stadio Artemio Franchi.

Salernitana continued their horrendous campaign with a 1-4 defeat at Lazio last Friday. Stefano Colantuano’s men firmly hold the very foot of the Serie A standings. They are all but relegated with 13 points between them and the safe zone and just six games left to play.

Latest Meetings

• Fiorentina go into this on the back of two wins and a draw in the last three meetings with Salernitana.
• The Viola claimed a demolishing 3-0 victory over Salernitana in the return match played in December last year in Florence.
• We’ve seen three or more goals in each of the previous five head-to-head meetings between these rivals.

Salernitana vs Fiorentina Prediction

Fiorentina’s head coach Vincenzo Italiano will make some changes to his starting lineup after 120 minutes of action against Viktoria Plzen on Thursday evening. Regardless, the Viola go into this as a clear favourite.

Salernitana are by far the worst team in the league. They enter this winless in 15 subsequent matches across competitions. Colantuono’s troops took only two points from the previous nine league outings.

Also, Fiorentina won two and drew one of the previous three clashes against Salernitana. We will take the away win pick as the main option at the odds of 1.65.

The Over 2.5 goals bet looks as a great alternative at the attractive 1.80 odds. Salernitana boast the worst defensive record in the division with 68 goals allowed in 32 matches so far in the season. They have just shipped four goals to Lazio last Friday at Stadio Olimpico.

Four of their last five league matches saw three or more goals scored. Lastly, each of the previous five H2H meetings between Salernitana and Fiorentina also provided three or more goals.
