Napoli vs Salernitana Odds
Napoli Team News
After winning their third Serie A title last season, Napoli was expected to continue progressing in the current competitive year. However, the departure of coach Luciano Spalletti during the summer significantly impacted the form of the reigning Italian champions. Despite efforts to restore the team’s winning rhythm by replacing Rudi Garcia with Walter Mazzarri, Napoli continues to go through a very challenging period.
Their current form is far from the previous success, as after 19 played matches and 28 points earned, they find themselves in 9th place on the table. Nevertheless, they are only five points away from the fourth position that secures a spot in the Champions League, so a positive streak could quickly lift the team. Napoli has been struggling recently, failing to win in the last four matches and not scoring a single goal during that period, including a 3-0 defeat away against Torino last weekend.
Salernitana Team News
As for Salernitana, despite barely avoiding relegation last season, they currently find themselves at the very bottom of the table with only 12 points from 19 played matches, trailing three points behind the position that ensures safety for remaining in the league.
Their recent performances reflect the club’s very delicate situation, having won only one of the last seven encounters, with five losses and a draw. In the previous round, they suffered a 1-2 defeat against Juventus at their home ground. Although Salernitana held on to a draw until the 91st minute, Dušan Vlahović’s goal in injury time secured another triumph for Bianconeri in the race for the Scudetto.

Napoli vs Salernitana Prediction
Napoli has failed to score in the last four matches across all competitions, and the upcoming home game against the last-placed team in the standings is an ideal opportunity to change that. On the other hand, Salernitana has found the back of the net in the last six played matches. Therefore, the combination of both teams scoring seems like a good choice for this match on Saturday.
