Fourteenth-placed Salernitana will entertain ninth-placed Fiorentina at the Stadio Arechi in a mid-table Serie A clash on Wednesday.
The hosts extended their unbeaten run in the league to nine games last Sunday as they held league leaders Napoli to a 1-1 draw. Napoli opened the scoring in the 62nd minute via Mathías Olivera but Boulaye Dia scored the equalizer in the 84th minute to spoil early title celebrations for the league leaders.
The visitors returned to winning ways after four games in all competitions in style as they recorded an impressive 5-0 home win over last-placed Sampdoria. Gaetano Castrovilli, Dodô, Alfred Duncan, Christian Kouamé, and Aleksa Terzić were on the scoresheet to help them to their biggest win of the campaign.
