2 years ago 373

Both Salernitana and Verona will be looking to bounce back to winning ways when they face off at Stadio Arechi in their Matchday Nine tie on Sunday.

Both sides have endured disappointing starts to this Serie A campaign, with both sides picking up just one victory from their eight fixtures. However, Salernitana sit 14^th on seven points, two points above Verona who sit inside the relegation, as the Salerno side has drawn two more matches than their Saturday visitors.

Salernitana suffered a humiliating 5-0 away defeat to Sassuolo, making it back-to-back defeats in Serie A as they had previously lost 2-1 to Lecce at home. The defeat also extended their league winless run to five matches and they will be desperate to get their campaign back on track as they hope to avoid being dragged into an early relegation tussle.

Meanwhile Verona suffered a 2-1 home defeat to Udinese last time out, extending their losing streak to three matches now in the league. They were previously coming off of back-to-back 2-0 defeats to Lazio and Fiorentina. Therefore they will be desperate to get back on track on Saturday as they look to climb out of the relegation zone, while Gabriele Cioffi will be desperate for the win as he is under pressure of losing his job.
