Salernitana are currently bottom of the league table, four points behind 17th-placed Spezia. They have lost four of their last five league games, and on current form seem destined for a swift return back to the second division.
Inter Milan, on the other hand, are top of the league table, one point ahead of 2nd-placed AC Milan. With Juventus stuttering and Napoli slowing down, the Milan clubs look likely to compete for the league title this time around.
Inter Milan will be the favourites to win here.
