Salernitana host Cagliari at the Arechi Stadium in Serie A action in a crucial relegation battle on Sunday.

The hosts have been able to climb out of the relegation zone thanks to an unbeaten run in their last five games. They overcame last-placed Venezia 2-1 last week, with Simone Verdi scoring the winning goal as a second-half substitute.

The visiting side suffered their fourth loss in five games last time around as they fell to a 2-1 loss to Verona. They face Inter Milan after this game, so they must avoid dropping points in this fixture.
