Salernitana and Verona will trade tackles for three points at the Stadio Arechi in Serie A on Wednesday.
The home side come into the game on the back of a narrow 1-0 defeat to Atalanta at the same ground on Saturday. Duvan Zapata scored the winning goal 15 minutes from time.
Verona secured a surprise 3-2 home victory over AS Roma on Sunday. Davide Faraoni scored the match-winner in the 63rd minute to help the hosts complete the comeback victory.
That victory helped the Veneto outfit climb up to 14th place in the table with three points accrued from four matches. Salernitana sit rock-bottom and are the only side yet to register points in the league this term.

Salernitana vs Verona Prediction
The hosts were favorites to suffer an immediate return to Serie B and their poor start to the campaign has not given signs of any reprieve. Verona, for their part, have not been impressive either but their victory over Roma will give them confidence heading into this game.
Both sides are relatively low-scoring but we are backing the visitors to triumph with a narrow victory.
Prediction: Salernitana 0-1 Verona
