It is a bottom of the table clash on Sunday afternoon and these Salernitana vs. Cagliari predictions suggest that it will be the home side that will be picking up their first win of the season.

Salernitana vs. Cagliari odds

1 – Salernitana to win – 7/10

2 – Over 2.5 goals scored – 17/20

3 – Both teams to score – 10/11

4 – Boulaye Dia to score anytime – 6/5

5 – Salernitana to win 2-1 – 17/2

Neither of these sides have won a single game this season and remain rooted to the bottom of Serie A. But it is Salernitana that have been spurred into action, sacking Paulo Sousa and bringing in Pippo Inzaghi as the new head coach.

He will be hoping that his arrival can kickstart a season that has not really got going yet. Just one point in the last six games spelled the end for Sousa and Inzaghi will have to figure out quickly how to turn this side into winners.

Inzaghi is perhaps lucky that he will face the only other team in Serie A with a worse record on Sunday. This one could well be a close game but three points could make all the difference to Salernitana’s confidence.

Claudio Ranieri must be wondering how long he has left in the job, as his Cagliari side struggles to adapt to Serie A after winning promotion last season. Just two points from the first eight games suggests that his time could well be up – especially if he comes away from the Stadio Arechi empty handed.

Even more worrying than the defeats for Ranieri will be the manner in which Cagliari have lost in recent games. Conceding three or four goals has become an alarmingly regular occurrence and that is not the way to survive in Serie A.

The Rossoblu may be able to find the net on Sunday against an equally struggling host side. But another defeat may be the final outcome – and signal the end of Ranieri’s time with the club.

Salernitana team news

Pippo Inzaghi might be tempted to change things around dramatically to impose his authority on this team. But it is more likely that he will give the players the chance to prove themselves and go with a largely unchanged starting XI.

Cagliari team news

Claudio Ranieri also needs to hit upon a winning formula soon but it is difficult to see what he can do with this squad. Eldor Shomurodov may come in up front in the hope of giving the team a little more firepower for this increasingly important fixture.
