Salernitana form and stats

3-3-5 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie A numbers at home for Salernitana, who have the most conceded goals (42) in Serie A, so far this season. The Salernitana manager de Sousa might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 250 minutes without scoring a league goal. Vilhena was the last player to find the net.

Salernitana lost their last game at Hellas Verona (placed 18th) after a 0-1 scoreline. Defender Bronn got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.33/10. Bronn won 6 of 9 duels.

Preceding that match was the home game against Juventus that was lost 0-3.

Salernitana are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 14 goals in 11 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. 16 goals have been conceded.

Lazio form and stats

Playing away, Lazio have won 5 games, drawn 3 and suffered 2 defeats in the Serie A this season.

The regulars enjoyed Lazio's previous match versus CFR Cluj, a Europa Conference League win (1-0) played at home. Zaccagni, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 7.65. Zaccagni hit three key passes and had 32 successful passes (of 36 total).

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

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Lazio manager Sarri as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against CFR Cluj.

Lazio are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 16 times in 10 away games so far. It's not easy to score on Lazio as they have only conceded 7 goals from these away games.

Head 2 Head

This isn't the first time these parties meet this campaign, as the history books show this recent match: Lazio - Salernitana 1-3. Previous three meetings between these contenders: Salernitana won one, Lazio were winners in two and we saw zero draws. three games with more than 2,5 goals, zero matches with under 2,5 goals. One of the players to grab the headlines has been Immobile with 3 goals scored against Salernitana in these 3 encounters.
