The Serie A season run-in is filled with subplots and the outcome of these Roma vs. Salernitana predictions could have an impact at both ends of the table. Roma are pushing for a possible Europa League place, while visitors Salernitana in severe danger of being relegated straight back down to Serie B.
Roma vs. Salernitana odds
1 – Roma to win – 1/4
2 – Under 2.5 total goals – 7/5
3 – Roma under 2.5 total goals – 8/11
4 – BTTS – No – 3/4
5 – Roma to win 2-0 – 11/2
On paper this tie looks to be a home banker, with Roma looking to put pressure on the European qualification picture and Salernitana preparing themselves for relegation. Jose Mourinho’s side head into this fixture on the back of a nine-game unbeaten run in all competitions, with four wins from five in Serie A.
On the opposite side, Salernitana’s own recent form is the second-worst in the Italian top flight, with no league wins in their last 10 games and just one in all competitions since October 26. However, the main feature of Mourinho’s Roma in 2022 has been a commitment to narrow wins as they edge up the table.
In the Giallorossi’s current unbeaten streak, there has only been over 2.5 total goals scored inside 90 minutes on three occasions, with just one in their last seven games in league and European action. That has obviously impacted Roma’s own goalscoring output, as games have been generally decided by the odd goal, with more than one scored in just one of their last seven games.
In classic Mourinho style, Roma have also become more stubborn in defence, with an incredible record of just one goal conceded in their last five Serie A games and six clean sheets in league competition since the start of 2022.
With Salernitana looking already resigned to their relegation fate, and Roma in good form, this game looks to be heading in a clear direction, as Mourinho’s side are heavy favourites to extend their unbeaten run of results with the season entering its final stages in the coming weeks.
