Salernitana - Roma predictions

To call the upcoming match difficult for Salernitana would be a major understatement. They are going up against impossible odds. With a home win priced at 5.66 with major online bookmakers, this is a completely one-sided game.

The most likely outcome of this match is Roma walking away with three more points. That said, both a draw and a home win are still on the table, though both are relatively risky propositions.

Salernitana’s narrow 1:2 loss at Stadio Arechi against Genoa in the previous round may seem bad on paper, but they fought back as much as could be expected. Keep in mind that the odds were heavily against them, with online sportsbook pricing a home win at 3.65.

Roma had a clear strategy last round – securing an early lead against Hellas Verona and turning it into a slow, but comprehensive victory. Whether they will use it again against The Giallorossi remains to be seen, but they earned the right to feel confident at Stadio Arechi.

Looking over the home team’s recent record, we can see a worrying trend. They’ve conceded more than 5 goals over the past 3 matches alone, indicating problems in their defensive lineup.

The records show a rather unimpressive away game track record for Roma. They’ve allowed more than 5 times in their latest 3 away outings.

Salernitana are in 20th in the league table. It’s still too early to be overly pessimistic, though. They’ll have plenty of chances to improve going forward, though the clash with Roma will be an uphill battle.

Most fans see Roma’s current table position as rather mediocre. They’re 7th in the mid-season. Thankfully, they’re still not too far from a Europa League qualification and there’s plenty of time left.

Roma may be the favourites in this matchup, but they failed to press that advantage when they met Salernitana earlier in the season. This earlier bout ended in a draw, so the away team will be looking to redeem themselves.

Though the visitors are clearly considered favourites, they’ll have some additional hurdles to overcome for this match. Namely, Leonardo Spinazzola, Tammy Abraham, Chris Smalling, Marash Kumbulla, Dean Donny Huijsen will all be kept from the game due to injury. It’s a precarious position despite the team’s strength and should be kept in mind when looking at the betting odds.

You can safely put down an Over 2.5 Goals bet on this match and feel very confident. If the teams’ records are any indication, 3 or more goals in this match are almost guaranteed.
