Salernitana form and stats
The traveling awayteam has defeated Reggina in order to reach 2nd round of Coppa Italia. They also participated in Coppa Italia last season. This ended in the 3rd round.There's been little loot from Salernitana's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 9 away games in the Serie A. Salernitana only have 1 win to counter their 7 defeats and 1 draw. Recent form does not give Salernitana much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Genoa will be a tough nut to crack.
Bonazzoli was the last player to score for the away team. Salernitana haven't scored a league goal in the last 270 minutes.
Two away games in a row for Salernitana, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-4 versus Fiorentina in the Serie A.

The attacker Franck Ribéry got a match rating of 7.1 in that game. Ribéry hit four key passes and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.
It was a Serie A defeat before that one as the away game against Milan wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.Salernitana are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is six wins, six draws and seven defeats. From a total of 19 matches.
