This weekend’s Serie A schedule features teams at both ends of the table and these Salernitana vs. Bologna predictions focus on the race for Europe and the relegation battle. Hosts Salernitana are fighting to avoid being dragged into a survival fight, while Bologna are among a clutch of teams battling for a European spot.

Salernitana vs. Bologna odds

1 – A draw – 5/2

2 – Salernitana under 1.5 total goals – 4/11

3 – Total goals scored under 2.5 – 8/11

4 – Both teams to score – 22/23

5 – A 1-1 draw – 28/5

The 2022-23 Serie A campaign features all 20 teams still with something to play for in the run-in. The races for Europe and top-flight safety will be key features as Napoli continue to pull away at the top of the table.

Salernitana look to be in a strong position to keep edging away from the drop zone, with a current seven-point safety gap. But Paulo Sousa will be aware of how quickly the situation can change.

Higher up the table, Bologna will be waiting to see the outcome of the Coppa Italia, as an extended European spot could stretch down as far as seventh place once again this season.

Sousa’s charges have looked to stabilise in recent weeks, with five points from their last three games. They will be confident of getting at least a third straight Serie A draw this weekend, up against a Bologna side that has not won a game since the start of March.

As Salernitana have looked to creep closer to mid-table, they have relied on narrow results, with just four goals scored in their last six league matches. Bologna have netted five in their own last six.

All four of their combined matches this month have ended with under 2.5 total goals scored between both teams at full time and there is little to indicate that pattern will change ahead of the international window.

A point on the board will be another step in the right direction for Sousa and Salernitana but Thiago Motta’s Bologna will need to keep picking up wins and wait for the final shake up to see if they can grab a European place.
