A disappointing title defence for Napoli shows no sign of stopping this term, as the Italian champions have dropped down the league standings at an alarming rate. However, they will have the opportunity to get their campaign back on track this weekend when Salernitana are the visitors to Naples.
Serie A Preview
Napoli’s title reign will almost certainly come to an end this season after they have dropped to eighth in the standings after losing seven of their opening 19 matches this term. In fact, they could have a challenge on their hands to even gain qualification to next season’s Champions League, as they sit five points behind the top four places at this stage.
Napoli come into this weekend after a string of disappointing recent results across domestic competitions. The Italian giants have conceded nine times without scoring across their last four matches, and their return to action following the international break was far from straightforward. The side from Naples were hammered 3-0 on the road by Torino last weekend, and a much better performance at both ends of the field will be required this Saturday.
Salernitana will still be massive outsiders in the betting for this fixture, despite the poor form shown by Napoli in recent weeks. The Italian side sits bottom of the current standings after winning just twice in their opening 19 matches this term. Their form so far this term means that they are three points adrift of safety, while they also boast the worst defensive record in the competition.
Salernitana have suffered one defeat in their last three matches in the competition, but that defeat was suffered in their most recent outing against Juventus. It was an improved showing on that afternoon, but they lack the quality to truly test the very best sides in Serie A.
Napoli vs Salernitana Head to Head
Napoli have an unbeaten record against Salernitana in Serie A, as they have won three of the five clashes since the start of 2021. They were fine winners in the first meeting between the sides this term, landing a 2-0 win on the road in November.
Napoli vs Salernitana Prediction
Napoli’s struggles at this moment are no secret, but this weekend’s fixture presents a golden opportunity to get back on track in Serie A. Based on their healthy record against Salernitana, we fully expect the reigning champions to land victory.
