AS Roma’s European dreams remain in the balance, as they will need to collect maximum points from all three remaining matches to claim at least a Europa Conference League spot. The visitors this weekend realistically need one more points to ensure their safety.
Serie A Preview
Monday night action in Serie A takes us to the Stadio Olimpico, as AS Roma look to put a difficult domestic run of form behind them. Jose Mourinho’s side has drastically fallen out of touch with the Champions League spots in recent weeks, and they now sit six points off their local rivals Lazio in the battle for fourth. However, they could potentially move up to fifth in the standings this weekend if they are able to record a victory at home against Salernitana.
Roma has struggled in recent weeks in the Italian top-flight, as they have gone five league matches without a win. Over that period, they have suffered two defeats, while they have been held to draws on three occasions. Their most recent tie came against Bologna, as they couldn’t make a breakthrough against their rivals last weekend.
Salernitana will be the visitors to the Stadio Olimpico on Monday, as they look for the one more victory that they require to mathematically secure their top-flight status this term. In truth, they already appear safe from the drop, as they sit eight clear of the bottom three.
They come into this fixture in slightly better form than their opponents, as they have secured two wins over their previous five outings. Over that period, they have also suffered just a single defeat. Salernitana was excellent in their previous match, as Antonio Candreva netted a late winner to secure a dramatic 1-0 home win against Atalanta.
Roma vs Salernitana Head to Head
Roma has an excellent record against their rivals on Monday, as they have won each of the last three. The most recent win was a 1-0 success on the road back in August. Meanwhile, this exact fixture last season saw Roma pick up a 2-1 win at the Stadio Olimpico.
Roma vs Salernitana Prediction
There will be more pressure on the hosts in this fixture on Monday, as they desperately need maximum points to remain in the European spots. For that reason, we could see Roma claiming success, but it may only come by a one-goal margin.
