Salernitana vs Fiorentina Prediction & Preview

Preview

This Sunday, Serie A action continues with Salernitana hosting Fiorentina at Stadio Arechi for the 33rd round of the competition. As we look closer at both teams' current form and historical encounters, there are some interesting dynamics at play.

Starting with recent performances, both teams have been struggling to find their form. Salernitana sits at the bottom of the league table (20th position) with only 15 points and has not won any of their last five matches, suffering four losses and managing just one draw. Their last outing ended in a disheartening 4-1 defeat away against Lazio. At home, they have scored an average of 0.75 goals per game while conceding two.

Fiorentina, on the other hand, occupies the mid-table (10th place) with 44 points but also hasn't won in their last five Serie A games—recording three losses and two draws. However, they did secure a win in their latest match—a comfortable 2-0 victory over Viktoria Plzeň in a different competition—which might boost their confidence heading into this fixture.

Looking back at past head-to-head matchups between these two sides reveals that Fiorentina has had the upper hand recently. They defeated Salernitana 3-0 in their previous encounter earlier this season and hold three wins to Salernitana's one over the last five meetings—with one game ending as a draw.

Bet

Given Fiorentina’s comparatively better performance record against Salernitana as well as across recent matches despite both teams showing similar struggles lately—Fiorentina emerges as favorites here according to bookmakers’ odds set at 1.57 for an away win versus much higher odds for a home victory or even a draw.

Additionally considering goal averages from both sides—Salernitana scores low while conceding high on average especially when playing at home; similarly Fiorentina maintains consistent scoring during away games—it could lead towards expecting more than just couple goals being scored overall. In light of these factors combined with given betting odds favoring an outcome beyond mere scoring minimums (over/under goals), my recommended bet would be "Over 2.5" which holds favorable odds set currently ar around 1 .87 providing worthwhile potential return while aligning closely alongside observed team trends regarding goal patterns throughout this season thus far.
