Salernitana vs Frosinone Prediction and Betting Tips

Salernitana will welcome Frosinone to Stadio Arechi in the Italian Serie B on Monday. After underwhelming campaigns in the regular season, both teams are fighting for survival.

Salernitana vs Frosinone Preview

Salernitana finished the regular season one place above the drop zone, hence they were above to qualify for the relegation play-out. The winner of the play-out after both legs will remain in Serie B, while the loser will be relegated to Serie C. The hosts will be eying a comfortable lead in this leg ahead of the return fixture.

The Granata were relegated from Serie A last season after finishing 20th out of 20 teams. They face the spectre of another relegation, this time to Serie C. However, we expect them to fight to stay in Serie B. Salernitana and Frosinone settled for a 1-1 draw in their last meeting, which also took place at Stadio Arechi.

Frosinone finished the regular season in the 16th spot, just above Salernitana, on 43 and 42 points respectively. However, they were tied on 43 points with Brescia, who finished 15th to escape the play-out round. Frosinone could have avoided the play-out, but they fumbled in their last five matches, dropping as much as 10 points.

The Canarini also had a bad season in Serie A last term, finishing 18th and being relegated. The visitors will be counting on home advantage to seal the tie as they will host the return fixture. However, a damaging first leg would be difficult to recover from, and so we expect them to make a statement at Stadio Arechi.
