Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Sunday’s football game at Stadio Arechi pits together Salernitana and Juventus, the two teams with entirely different ambitions for the remainder of the season. I Granata desperately needed a win against Verona and they managed to get one thanks to Loum Tchaouna’s goal. Salernitana did well to put an end to their four-game winless run, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence, but they need to keep on making progress if they are to avoid relegation to Serie B. Forward Boulaye Dia remains in the recovery room, while goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa faces race against the clock to be fit for Sunday’s showdown.
The Bianconeri, on the other hand, proved their worth in a hard-fought 1-0 win over AS Roma and seeing that they outplayed Salernitana 3-0 in their last meeting at Stadio Arechi, we are tempted to place our bets on Massimiliano Allegri’s troops. Manuel Locatelli is banned for the match, while all Alex Sandro, Moise Kean, and Mattia De Sciglio remain in the recovery room.
