THE LOWDOWN
SALERNITANA
After back-to-back dramatic escapes from relegation and then the eventual sacking, re-hiring but then sacking of Davide Nicola, which all followed a last minute reprieve from administrative relegation in late 2021; Salernitana have been a bit of a basket case and are already onto their second manager of the campaign.
Paulo Sousa has already been sacked and replaced by Filippo Inzaghi. The home team are winless after their opening ten matches with four draws and six defeats. They begin the weekend sitting rock-bottom in the Serie A table but do come into this on the back of a 4-0 hammering of Sampdoria in the Coppa Italia in midweek.
NAPOLI
Last season, Napoli won their third ever Serie A title and just their first Scudetto ever outside of the Diego Maradona era. The club, though, then lost their key defender, Kim Min-jae, as well as manager Luciano Spalletti over the summer and it has been a shoddy defence of their title; albeit there has been some recent improvement.
The Neapolitans begin the weekend sitting outside of the top four and the UEFA Champions League spots, having only won half of their opening ten matches so far this season. They came back from two goals down to share a 2-2 draw with AC Milan in their most recent outing, last weekend. Their ten matches have consisted of 34 goals so far this season.
THE TEAM NEWS
SALERNITANA
Salernitana are missing one key player for this one with defender, Norbert Gyomber, unavailable for their clash against Napoli due to a suspension.
PREDICTED XI (3-4-2-1): Ochoa; Lovato, Daniliuc, Pirola; Mazzocchi, Maggiore, Coulibaly, Bradaric; Candreva, Cabral; Dia
UNAVAILABLE: Gyomber (Suspended)
QUESTIONABLE:
NAPOLI
Rudi Garcia is without two key first-team players with defender, Natan, as well as striker, Victor Osimhen both suspended and injured, respectively.
PREDICTED XI (4-3-3): Meret; Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Ostigard, Rui; Elmas, Lobotka, Zielinski; Politano, Raspadori, Kvaratskhelia
UNAVAILABLE: Natan (Suspended), Osimhen (Injured)

THE PREDICTION
In their opening ten matches, Salernitana have not won and have scored just six goals. The hosts seem destined for a return to the lower leagues of Italian football unless they can pull of a special turnaround in their performances and results. Napoli were held, as mentioned, to that 2-2 draw with AC Milan last weekend and their performances throughout the campaign have been generally unconvincing. Despite that lack of being able to convince, Napoli are firm favourites for what could be a high-scoring encounter in Salerno.
BETTING TIP: NAPOLI TO WIN
