Salernitana vs Hellas Verona prediction, preview, team news and more | Serie A 2023-24
The Italian Serie A returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Salernitana and Hellas Verona square off at the Stadio Arechi on Monday. Marco Baroni’s side will head into the weekend desperate for all three points as they sit just two points above the relegation zone going into the final two games.
Salernitana were denied a memorable victory over Italian powerhouse Juventus last Sunday as they were held to a 1-1 draw after conceding a 91st-minute penalty.
Stefano Colantuono’s men have now gone 19 successive games without a win across all competitions, losing 15 and claiming four draws since the turn of the year.
This horror second half of the season has seen Salernitana’s three-year stint in the top flight come to an end as they sit rooted to the bottom of the table with just 16 points from 36 matches.
Elsewhere, Hellas Verona’s quest to beat the drop suffered a huge blow last time out as they fell to a 2-1 loss against Torino on home turf.
Baroni’s side have picked up 34 points from 36 matches to sit 14th in the Serie A table, two points above 18th-placed Empoli.
While Verona will set out in search of a season-defining victory on Monday, they will need to be at their best as they have won just two of their 18 Serie A away matches this season.
