Salernitana will host Hellas Verona at the Stadio Arechi in Serie A on Sunday (October 9) as both teams aim to return to winning ways after a while.
The hosts are winless in their last five league games since beating Sampdoria 4-0 on matchday three. After drawing thrice, the Garnets were beaten consecutively by Lecce and Sassuolo, with the latter drubbing them in a clinical 5-0 demolition.
With just seven points from eight games, Davide Nicola's side are 14th in the standings, four places above Verona, who've emerged as early relegation candidates.
The Gialloblu's form has slumped mightily since their ninth-place finish last season, as they have picked up just one win - beating Sampdoria 2-1 on matchday five. Since then, Gabriele Cioffi's side have failed to collect a single point, losing three straight games amp up pressure on the manager.

Salernitana vs Hellas Verona Prediction
Both teams have been underwhelming this season and are coming into the game off losing runs.
One thing going for Salernitana is that they've never lost to Verona before, although their current form is extremely poor. Verona could capitalise on their poor defense and force a share of the spoils.
