Salernitana form and stats

3-4-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie B numbers at home for Salernitana so far this season.

Salernitana manager G. Ventura and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Empoli (placed 13th) in the Serie B. Ahead of that match, Salernitana won a home game hosting Crotone (3-2).

This is expected to be a close game, with Salernitana perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage.

A quick return to home after this game, as Pordenone are hosting Cremonese in the Serie B only three days away.
