Salernitana - Sassuolo predictions

The visiting team is cognizant of the task before them. A victory over Salernitana on their home field would be a noteworthy accomplishment, and it is never an easy feat.

Sassuolo are heading into what’s surely be a challenge. Salernitana are not to be taken lightly and an away victory would certainly be a big success for the visitors.

Although Salernitana are coming on the back of a harsh 3:0 loss, it would be rather unfair to judge them purely on that performance. They were playing an away game in an extremely difficult matchup against Bologna , so they spent most of the match trailing behind.

Sassuolo are coming on the back of a disappointing draw in their previous Serie A matchup, which they played as the home team. They had the advantage of playing at home, but the odds never clearly marked them as the favourites. It makes sense that neither side managed to gain the upper hand throughout the out.

A high concessions rate is not a good look to have, and Salernitana have been on a downward spiral when it comes to their defensive performance. With 5 goals conceded over their past 3 games, there’s definite room for improvement.

The most relevant bit of history we have for Sassuolo is their high concession rate at recent home games. After more than 5 goals conceded in 3 games, their fans have warranted concerns over the squad’s defensive performance.

The season is already in its latter stages, which is becoming a big problem for Salernitana. They’re still in the relegation zone and are going into a difficult fight, so their chances of moving up are getting smaller with each passing round.

The smell of relegation increases for the Serie A bottom sides and Sassuolo are one of those. The visitors are 1 point away from safety and a win over in Stadio Arechi is, therefore, an absolute must for them.

Sassuolo played against Salernitana earlier in the season and were unable to get anything better than a draw despite the home-field advantage. They’re not on their turf this time around, but that doesn’t change the fact that most bookies see them as the favourites.

Grigoris Kastanos, Norbert Gyömbér, Federico Fazio, Guillermo Ochoa will not be able to play for the hosts this Friday due to various injuries. This makes their chances of coming out on top as underdogs even smaller but is important to keep in mind when considering betting odds.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet is an easy tip to offer – it’s a fairly probable outcome with betting odds priced at a comfortable 2.07. More importantly, though, the betting value it offers is surprisingly solid.
