Napoli vs Salernitana Preview
Salernitana are currently rooted to the bottom of the Serie A standings and have struggled to make an impact this season. The away side slumped to a narrow 2-1 defeat at the hands of Juventus last week and will need to work hard to bounce back in this match.
Napoli, on the other hand, are in ninth place in the league table at the moment and have been inconsistent so far this season. The Neapolitan giants slumped to a 3-0 defeat against Torino in their previous game and have a point to prove this weekend.
