The Salernitana & Monza managers F. Castori and C. Brocchi are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the Serie B league table.

Insights:
  • Salernitana have the most points (36) at home in Serie B

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Salernitana and Monza.

Monza 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.

Salernitana are battling for top spots and have everything to play for. Monza are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.

Salernitana form and stats

Salernitana, who have the most points (36) at home in Serie B, have performed here at Stadio Arechi this season with 10 wins from 17 Serie B matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 6 games and lost 1. It’s been three wins in a row for Salernitana here at Stadio Arechi, hoping to make this one the fourth consecutive victory.

Salernitana's last game was hosting Venezia (placed 5th) and winning 2-1. In the preceding match a 3-0 victory visiting Virtus Entella.

World class coaching! That was the thoughts of F. Castori when Cedric Gondo scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 81st minute. A late climax in the match against Venezia as the winning goal came four minutes into overtime; scored by Cedric Gondo.

There will be little rest for Salernitana after this match as they are travelling to Pordenone for a Serie B game in only three days.

The Salernitana fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 23 in 17 matches. From these home matches, Salernitana have conceded only 10 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
