Salernitana vs Sassuolo Prediction & Match Preview

• Salernitana lost 11 and drew 2 of the previous 13 games across competitions.
• Sassuolo conceded just three goals in the last four league outings.
• Salernitana failed to find the back of the net in consecutive losses to Lecce and Bologna.

Another managerial change did little to shift Salernitana’s fortunes around. Stefano Colantuono made his debut on the bench in Monday’s game at Bologna. It did not go very well as Salernitana suffered a tough 0-3 defeat. Colantuono will make his first appearance at the helm on the home patch this Friday. Salernitana host Sassuolo in the first match of Gameweek No 31 at Stadio Arechi.

This is the match between the bottom two sides in the Serie A standings. While Salernitana have already given up the battle for the top-flight survival, Sassuolo still have reasonable chances to avoid the drop. The visitors are just one point shy of the likes of Frosinone and Empoli who share the 17th place in the league standings.

Sassuolo will obviously come into this in a better form. They have managed a win, a draw, and a loss in the previous three league rounds. Head coach Davide Ballardini can be satisfied with the displays his men have shown in a 1-1 stalemate against Udinese four days ago.

• The outfits have a win, a draw, and a defeat each in the previous three head-to-head clashes.
• Salernitana won three, drew one, and lost one of the previous five home clashes with Sassuolo.
• Six of the previous seven H2H matches provided three or more goals.

Salernitana vs Sassuolo Prediction

Salernitana have really not been pulling up any trees of late. They lost 11 and drew 2 of the previous 13 outings in all competitions. The appointment of Stefano Colantuono as the new head coach did not change much as Salernitana looked horrendous in the away loss at Bologna on Monday afternoon.

On the other side, we have Sassuolo who desperately need points in the battle for avoiding relegation. I Neroverdi have shown some sort of improvement in their latest performances. The fact they allowed only two goals in the previous three league games is promising for Davide Ballardini and his men. We will back the away win as the main pick at the 2.20 odds.

Sassuolo play defensive-minded football under Ballardini. None of the last four games they played saw three or more goals scored. Three have finished in a 1-0 scoreline. We all know about Salernitana’s defensive woes.

However, three of their last five league outings have actually finished with fewer than three goals scored. Salernitana have also failed to find the back of the net in the last two defeats to Lecce and Bologna. The Under 2.5 goals bet is worth backing at the 1.95 odds.
