The guesting Inter side should be front runners at Salernitana, as the visitors hold a 22 point advantage from their 28 league games this season.

Insights:
  • Salernitana have the most conceded goals in the first half (26) in Serie A
  • Inter have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

Inter have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Coppa Italia. That game was also an away game, at Juventus. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
