Roma will entertain Salernitana at the Stadio Olimpico in Serie A on Monday.
The hosts are in sixth place in the league table and have 59 points to their name. Their unbeaten run in the league was extended to five games in Serie A last season as they were held to a goalless draw against Bologna last week. Jose Mourinho will not be too unhappy with these results as his side have secured a place in the UEFA Europa League final.
The visitors returned to winning ways after three games in Serie A as they defeated Atalanta 1-0 at home. Antonio Candreva scored a last-gasp winner, thanks to Krzysztof Piątek's assist.
Roma vs Salernitana Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- The two teams have met 11 times in all competitions since 1945. As expected, the hosts have been the dominant side in these meetings with nine wins. The visitors have one win to their name and one game has ended in a draw.
- Roma have a 100% record at home against the visitors, scoring at least two goals in four of the five games in that period.
- Salernitana are undefeated in 11 of their last 12 Serie A matches.
- The hosts have kept three clean sheets in their last four games in all competitions and have failed to score in three games in that period as well.
- The visitors have scored one goal apiece in their last five away games.
- The two teams last met in the Serie A campaign opener this season, with Roma recording a 1-0 away win.
- The visitors are winless in their last seven away games in Serie A.
- The hosts have outscored the visitors 45-43 in the league this season and have the better defensive record as well, conceding 23 goals fewer (33).
Roma vs Salernitana Prediction
The Giallorossi have seen a drop in form in recent games, with just one win in their last seven games. Four games in that period have ended in draws, so the results might be just what Mourinho would've wanted. Nonetheless, with the Europa League final berth secured, they are expected to push a little harder in this match.
The Granata have just a couple of wins in their travels this term. They have suffered just one defeat in the league since February and might be able to hold their own against the hosts. But they have suffered defeats in all five of their away games against Roma, so that might also be a factor in this match.
The hosts have seen under 2.5 goals in their last six games and we expect this match to end in a low-scoring affair as well. Considering Roma's home advantage and Salernitana's poor away run this term, we expect the hosts to eke out a narrow win.
Prediction: Roma 1-0 Salernitana
