Salernitana form and stats

There's been little loot from Salernitana's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 8 away games in the Serie A. Salernitana only have 1 win to counter their 6 defeats and 1 draw.

F. Bonazzoli was the last player to score for the away team. Salernitana haven't scored a league goal in the last 180 minutes.

There might be some fixture complaints from Salernitana as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Serie A match against Milan (0-2). Salernitana goalie Vid Belec could enjoy a super shift against Milan, but even with pulling off six saves the defeat could not be helped. Goalkeeper Vid Belec got the top player rating of the team with 7.44/10. Belec stopped the opponent with six saves.

A loss against Juventus was the result prior to that, in a home game.

You'll want to know how Salernitana managed when outsiders such as today. Our database found three similar matches resulting in zero away wins, zero draws and three home wins.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Salernitana manager S. Colantuono as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Genoa.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Salernitana as they have only managed to score 6 times from 8 away games in the league. The Salernitana manager S. Colantuono has some worries about the defense as 17 goals have been conceded in these travels.
