Salernitana will welcome Genoa to the Stadio Arechi in the Serie A on Sunday.
The hosts have lost their three games in 2024 thus far and will look to return to winning ways. In their previous league outing, they lost 2-1 away at Napoli.
They gave away a one-goal lead as Antonio Candreva's 29th-minute opener was canceled out by Matteo Politano's penalty in the added time of the first half and Amir Rrahmani scored a last-gasp winner for the reigning champions.
The visitors are unbeaten in their last five games across all competitions, playing out three consecutive draws ahead of this clash. In their previous league outing, they were held to a goalless draw by Torino last week.
The hosts are at the bottom of the league standings with 12 points to their name. The visitors are in 12th place with a 10-point lead over their southern rivals.

Salernitana vs Genoa Prediction
I Granata have been in poor form recently, with just one win in their last seven league outings while suffering five defeats. They are unbeaten in their last four home meetings against the visitors, recording three wins and keeping three clean sheets, and will look to build on that form here.
Filippo Inzaghi remains without the services of Lorenzo Pirola and Boulaye Dia through injuries. Loan signings Toma Basic and Alessandro Zanoli have been given the all-clear and are expected to start from the bench.
Il Grifone are unbeaten in their last two Serie A away games, after suffering four consecutive losses in their travels between October and December. They are unbeaten in their last five league games, though four games have ended in draws. They have scored five goals in that period while conceding four times.
There are no fresh injury concerns for Genoa as Morten Thorsby is a doubt with a muscle injury while Koni De Winter will serve a suspension due to yellow card accumulation.
Considering the current goalscoring form of the two teams, a low-scoring draw is likely to ensue.
Prediction: Salernitana 1-1 Genoa
