Salernitana form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Salernitana's two home games in the Serie A so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Stadio Arechi.

Salernitana shared the glory with Bologna in their last match, an away game that ended all square 1-1. Mazzocchi (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.7/10. Mazzocchi hit five key passes and dribled past the opponent 5 of 6 times.

Before that, Salernitana had a home game versus Sampdoria which ended with a victory 4-0.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Salernitana have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 8 matches with the results: Won 6, drawn 1 and lost 1.

Salernitana has scored 4 goals so far and conceded 1 goal from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.

A 1-1 draw at Lecce's stadium before that.
