Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Salernitana will be looking to win their only fourth win of the season when they take on Bologna on Matchday 27. The rock-bottom side have drawn each of their three league fixtures, but, as things stand now, they will find it hard to secure the Serie A survival. All Coulibaly, Perotti, Schiavone, Rugeri, Verdi, and Radovanovic should all miss out with injuries for the home team, while experienced winger Ribery is a major doubt.
The Rossoblu, on the other hand, quickly bounced back from a 3-0 loss to Lazio, with the team beating Spezia 2-1 on home soil. Sinisa Mihajlovic’s troops are safe for now, meaning that the hosts want this win more than the visitors. Since this game could be crucial for Salernitana in their battle for survival, we are tempted to put our money on the hosts. All Kingsley, Dominguez, and Santander are injured for the away team.
