Serie A: First-class versus modest, at least based on the matches so far. Roma - Salernitana. Home victory or a surprise result?

Insights:
  • Roma haven’t played a single 0-0 game at home.

These are hustling days for the team playing at home, as they had a match only four days ago in the Europa League. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Bayer 04 Leverkusen.

Salernitana form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Salernitana so far with only 14 points returning home. The records show 2-8-7 (win-draw-lose).

Salernitana had fun at their own home (Stadio Olimpico) last time out, beating Atalanta 1-0. Candreva scored. Those three points felt sweet as this side had gone three league rounds without winning. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager de Sousa when Candreva scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 80th minute. Ochoa was the team player of the game with the player rating of 7.43. The agile goalkeeper Ochoa topped it up with a clean sheet.

Prior to that match, the Salernitana manager de Sousa faced defeat when travelling to Empoli and losing 1-2.
