Salernitana vs Torino prediction, preview, team news and more | Serie A 2021-22
Serie A returns after a two-week hiatus due to the international break and will see Salernitana host Torino at the Stadio Arechi on Saturday night.
Salernitana are in poor form at the moment and are floundering in their race for survival. They were beaten 2-0 by record champions Juventus in their last game and were constantly run ragged by the lively Bianconeri attack.
The newly-promoted outfit sit rock-bottom in the league table with just 16 points from 28 games. They will be looking to begin picking up points as soon as possible to avoid an immediate return to the bottom tier.
Torino are also struggling for form at the moment. They were beaten 1-0 by 10-man Genoa last time out, failing to capitalize on their numerical advantage as they only dominated possession and failed to create much offensively.
The visitors sit 11th in the Serie A table, with 35 points from 29 games. They will be looking to return to winning ways when they travel to Salerno at the weekend.
Salernitana vs Torino Head-to-Head

The two sides last faced off in a league clash earlier this season. Torino won the game 4-0.

Salernitana vs Torino Prediction
Salernitana are on a nine-game winless streak and have won just one game since October last year. They have the worst offensive and defensive record in the league and also hold the worst home record.
Torino are struggling with no wins in their last eight league games. They are, however, the stronger side ahead of Saturday's game and should come out on top.
Prediction: Salernitana 1-2 Torino
