Salernitana – Fiorentina : Preview & Prediction
Salernitana’s awakening seems to be too late. Indeed, the promoted team left the last place to Genoa thanks to 2 victories obtained during the last two days of Serie A. This is the first time this season that Nicola’s team has managed to win two games in a row. The partners of Bonazzoli (7 goals) created a sensation by winning the last two away games, at Sampdoria (2-1) and Udinese (1-0), after a long series of 11 matches without success (5 draws and 6 defeats). The 19th-placed Serie A side returned to the Stadio Arechi, where they have not won in 11 games (4 draws and 7 defeats). Salernitana failed to win on home soil against Torino (0-1) in their last match after beating Spezia (2-2), AC Milan (2-2), Bologna (1-1) and Sassuolo (2-2). Salernitana are now six points behind Cagliari, the first non-relegated side, and are now dreaming of staying in the top flight. But Fiorentina could shatter their opponents’ dreams this weekend. The Viola, in seventh place, are on the verge of Europe as they are only two points behind AS Roma, in fifth place, and are level on points with Lazio, in sixth place. A win for Italiano’s players at the home of this lowly ranked side would allow Fio to move up one or two places in the standings, as Roma travel to Inter Milan and Lazio host AC Milan. Torreira’s teammates (5 goals) are more than determined to take the 3 points of the win, they remain on a 6-match unbeaten streak in Calcio. Despite being eliminated in the Italian Cup semi-final by Juventus (0-1 and 0-2) on Wednesday, Fio are on a three-game winning streak in Serie A against Empoli (1-0), Napoli (3-2) and Venice (1-0). The pass of 4 against Salernitana?
