Salernitana vs Verona Prediction & Match Preview

Salernitana vs Verona Prediction

• Salernitana lost eight and drew one of the last nine home outings in the league.
• Verona desperately need a victory to avoid possible relegation complications ahead of the final day.
• Five of Verona’s previous six league affairs ended with fewer than three goals scored.

Verona will look for salvation points in the penultimate round of the season. They visit Stadio Arechi for the Gameweek No 37 clash with last-placed Salernitana on Monday afternoon. The Gialloblu are 14th in the league standings but they sit just two points above the drop zone.

Verona dropped the ball last weekend when they conceded two quickfire goals in a 1-2 home defeat to Torino. With the fixture against champions Inter Milan on schedule for the final day, Verona just can’t afford a slip-up here against the weakest team in the top division.

Salernitana have been the worst team in the league by some distance this season. They firmly hold the very foot of the table after 36 rounds. The safe zone is 16 points away. This is going to be the farewell from the top flight for the local crowd in Salerno. On a positive note for them, Salernitana did end a four-loss thread by holding Juventus to a 1-1 stalemate eight days ago in Turin.

While Salernitana have nothing but pride left to play for, this is the biggest game of the season for Verona. A win on Monday grants them the elite-class survival while any other result puts their top-flight ambitions in jeopardize, especially with the clash against Inter Milan upcoming.

Verona have been a much better and more consistent team than Salernitana throughout the season. They also played very well in the last weekend’s game against Torino but got unlucky to concede two quick goals late in the match.

Verona have been struggling to perform on travels since the beginning of the season but they will actually go into this off the back of losing just one of the last four away games in the league. Salernitana are winless in 19 straight league fixtures. They lost eight and drew one of the previous nine home affairs. We have enough reasons to back Verona to get the win at the 1.70 odds.

Only one of Verona’s last six away matches in Serie A produced three or more goals. Salernitana scored just two goals in the previous four league outings. They held Juventus to a 1-1 draw on the road last Sunday. Four of the previous seven H2H encounters between Salernitana and Verona finished in a 1-0 scoreline. We will alternatively take the Under 2.5 goals bet at the 1.90 odds.
