Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Stadio Arechi will host Friday’s football game between Salernitana and Sassuolo, the two relegation-threatened teams. Salernitana are stuck at the bottom with only 14 points on their account and with slim survival chances, but the hope dies last. Mali midfielder Lassana Coulibaly is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while all Norbert Gyomber, Guillermo Ochoa, and Grigoris Kastanos are sidelined with injuries. Towering defender Federico Fazio remains doubtful.
The Neroverdi, on the other hand, are eager to escape the relegation zone and they will not have a better chance than this to get back on course. Given Salernitana’s three-game losing run in the national championship, away win should be considered. Defender Martin Erlic serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards, while forward Domenico Berardi misses out with an ACL injury, speaking of the visiting team.
