Salernitana vs Napoli Prediction and Betting Tips | November 4th 2023
The Italian Serie A returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Salernitana and Napoli go head-to-head at the Stadio Arechi on Saturday.
Filippo Inzaghi’s men will head into the weekend looking to build on their Coppa Italia victory and pick up their first league win of the season.
Salernitana turned in a performance of the highest quality on Tuesday when they thrashed Sampdoria 4-0 in their Coppa Italia round-of-32 clash.
Manager Inzaghi will hope that Tuesday's result can serve as a springboard for a fine run of form as the Granata return to the Serie A, where they are the only side yet to pick up a win this season.
Salernitana have lost six of their opening 10 league games while claiming four draws to collect just four points from a possible 30 and sit rooted to the bottom of the table.
Napoli, on the other hand, fought back from two goals down to salvage a 2-2 draw against AC Milan at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona last Sunday.
Prior to that, Rudi Garcia’s men were on a two-game winning streak, claiming a 3-1 victory over Hellas Verona on October 21, three days before edging out Union Berlin 1-0 in the Champions League.
With 18 points from 10 matches, Napoli are currently fifth in the Serie A table, seven points adrift of first-placed Inter Milan.
