The midweek Serie A matches could have a major impact on the relegation battle and these Salernitana vs. Fiorentina predictions could see safety clinched for both sides. Visitors Fiorentina look to have already done enough to avoid any late season drama, but Salernitana could still be in for tense few weeks.
Salernitana vs. Fiorentina odds
1 – A draw – 6/2
2 – Salernitana under 1.5 total goals – 1/3
3 – Total goals scored under 2.5 – 1/1
4 – Both teams to score – 5/6
5 – A 1-1 draw – 13/2
A midweek mid-table battle might not be the most exciting fixture on the Serie A calendar, but this tie could be a crucial fixture in the fight against relegation. As it stands, Fiorentina look well placed to ease to safety and focus on their other commitments this season. But Salernitana are still in trouble.
Paulo Sousa’s side are in a group of five teams battling to avoid taking the final relegation spot, alongside Cremonese and Sampdoria this season. They have also hit a positive run of form that should see the over the line after drawing six and winning two of their last eight Serie A matches prior to facing leaders Napoli.
Solid results at a crucial point of the campaign are vital and, with a busy Fiorentina winning five in their last eight in league action, the hosts will be confident of at least a draw. Draws have become Sousa’s speciality in recent weeks, with four 1-1 ties in six draws, alongside two of Fiorentina’s last three league outings ending in the same score line.
A point in either direction will not have a major impact on their run-ins. But it is likely to be a push in the right direction, particularly for Salernitana. Depending on how results elsewhere unfold, a home draw could see Sousa’s charges confirm survival on the night.
Vincenzo Italiano’s priorities are understandably focused elsewhere, with survival almost clinched, as they have made it to the Coppa Italia final and the semi-finals of the UEFA Europa Conference League.
Fiorentina have not reached the Coppa Italia final since 2014 – and they have not won it since 2001. There is also a potential European final, which would be an appearance at that stage for the first time since 1990 if they can get past FC Basel.
