Salernitana vs Cagliari Match Analysis and Prediction

2 years ago 339

Salernitana will look to extend their unbeaten run when they host Cagliari at Arechi Stadium in a crucial relegation battle on Sunday night with kickoff at 19:00.

Salernitana have managed to turn around their disappointing campaign back in the top flight. They have been able to climb out of the relegation zone thanks to a resurgence that has seen them go unbeaten in their last league games.

They head into the match off the back of 2-1 win over relegation candidates Venezia, with second half winner from substitute Simone Verdi sealing their fourth win in their last five matches. Davide Nicola’s side now sit a point outside the relegation zone and they need to continue picking up points to seal their top-flight survival.

They face Cagliari, who are desperate for points to climb out of the relegation zone as they sit 18^th with a point behind Salernitana. With three fixtures remaining to go Cagliari don’t have much time to salvage their season and a defeat here will increase the pressure on their last two games.

The Rossoblu head into the match in poor form having lost seven of their last eight league games and are off a 2-1 defeat to Verona, a loss that saw Walter Mazzarri lose his job as the head coach. They are also in poor away form as they have lost all their last three on the road fixtures, and have been conceding at a rate of two goals per game when playing at away this season.

With Salernitana’s spirit and character they have shown recently we are backing them to squeeze another win out of fellow relegation fighters.
