Salernitana vs Napoli Prediction & Match Preview

The managerial change did not bring the wanted effect for Salernitana who are still one of just two winless teams in the league.

New manager Filippo Inzaghi managed to collect just one point from two matches against Cagliari (a 2-2 stalemate at home) and Genoa (a 0-1 loss on the road).

It is certainly an underwhelming return for Salernitana considering the strength of the opposition. Inzaghi’s men firmly hold the very foot of the Serie A table with four points from the inaugural ten rounds of the season.

To make things worse, Salernitana’s schedule will not get any easier with the fixtures against Napoli, Sassuolo, Lazio, and Fiorentina upcoming in the next four rounds.

Salernitana will be massive underdogs on Saturday afternoon when they host reigning champions Napoli in Matchday No 11 at Stadio Arechi.

Napoli will enter this tie highly motivated to claim the spoils after winning just one of the last three league affairs.

I Partinopoei are now seven points shy of leaders Inter Milan after last weekend’s 2-2 draw at home to AC Milan.

The visitors are still without injured top scorer Victor Osimhen. In his absence, Matteo Politano has taken the charge in the final third, bagging his fifth goal of the season in the mentioned stalemate to I Rossoneri last Sunday.

Latest Meetings

Salernitana have not been a serious rival to Napoli in recent years, losing five and drawing one of the previous six clashes with them.

The lone draw in this run, however, came in late-April when Salermitana pulled off a 1-1 stalemate away at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.

Only one of the previous four meetings between these counterparts provided three or more goals.

The Verdict

Salernitana are not pulling up any trees this season. Napoli can ill afford another slip-up being seven points shy of table-toppers at the moment.

We expect the visitors to dominate from the start to the end and we’ll back them to have the lead at the break and win the game at the end at the 2.20 odds. We also like the in-form Matteo Politano to score anytime at the 3.40 odds.
