Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Stadio Arechi will host Sunday’s Serie A game between Salernitana and Bologna, the two teams with totally different ambitions for the remainder of the season. Salernitana’s main goal is to secure yet another top flight survival, while Bologna are eyeing a spot in European competitions. The rock-bottom side aim to bounce back from a 3-0 loss to Fiorentina and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the Rossoblu. Fit-again Senegal striker Boulaye Dia is pushing for a start, while goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa has yet to overcome a shoulder injury.
Bologna, on the other hand, are only two points behind the Champions League berth. Thiago Motta’s men were more than unfortunate not to beat Lecce on the road at the weekend and given Salernitana’s shaky defence, away triumph should be considered this time out. All Kevin Bonifazi, Tommaso Corazza, Riccardo Orsolini, Jesper Karlsson, and Adama Soumaoro remain on the sidelines with injuries.
