Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Sunday’s football game at Stadio Arechi pits together Salernitana and Napoli, the two teams with entirely different ambitions in the 2021/2022 Serie A season. Salernitana’s main goal is to secure the elite division survival, and, no doubt, a win over Venezia gave fans a reason for optimism. All Bogdan, Capezzi, Coulibaly, and Ruggeri should miss out with injuries. The Neapolitans, on the other hand, are eager to retain top position in the standings.
Napoli have been impressive in the Italian top flight ever since Luciano Spalletti took over the reins, and given Salernitana’s shaky defence, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the title-chasing visitors. Both Malcuit and Ounas are out of contention with injuries, while Manolas should be fit for the match. In their last meeting in a competitive game Napoli outplayed Salernitana 3-0, which is yet another reason why away win should be considered.
