Salernitana form and stats
1 victory, 1 draw and 2 defeats. That’s what Salernitana have to build on here at Stadio Arechi in the Serie A. When Salernitana hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Bologna, Cremonese, Sampdoria, Empoli, Monza and Salernitana), they have won 1 of 2 matches!
