The Viola look to continue their remarkable run in these Salernitana vs. Fiorentina predictions against a struggling Granata side. Davide Nicola’s men look set for relegation, but did manage to win their fourth game of the season last weekend. 

Salernitana vs. Fiorentina odds

1 – Fiorentina to win – 3/5

2 – Fiorentina clean sheet – 6/4

3 – Under 2.5 goals scored – 13/12

4 – Fiorentina to win 1-0 – 7/1

5 – Torreira to score anytime – 8/1

Despite an inconsistent start to the season, Fiorentina have made a late bid for European football. With four wins and two draws from their last six games, the Viola have established the joint-best form in Serie A and will be keen to secure yet another three points this weekend.

Matchday 33 was also positive for Salernitana, who secured their first win in 12 games against Sampdoria. Despite that, the Granata sit at the bottom of the Serie A table with just 19 points to their name. However, with two games in hand and a number of relegation six-pointers left to play, there remains a glimmer of hope of a great escape for Davide Nicola’s side.

Unfortunately for this weekend’s hosts, the visit of Fiorentina is not likely to provide an opportunity to gain any valuable points. Vincenzo Italiano’s team have not only shown themselves capable of beating the likes of Napoli, but also of grinding out narrow wins against defensively-minded sides.

In fact, the Viola have not dropped a single point against a team in the bottom half of the table since a draw to Cagliari back in January, making the away side a solid bet to win on Sunday.

Having lost their top scorer to Juventus in the winter, the visitors’ impressive form has come by shoring up the defence rather than relying on the front line to outscore their rivals. Two of Fiorentina’s last three games have finished with a clean sheet and we predict this to happen yet again at the Stadio Arechi.

To this note, the Viola have faced sides from the bottom half of the table three times in the last five rounds of Serie A. Each time the game has finished with Italiano’s side winning 1-0, meaning a bet on this scoreline looks promising, as well as on the match to finish with under 2.5 goals scored.

Without a reliable goalscorer, it has been on midfielder Lucas Torreira to step up and score the winner on two of these occasions and we predict that the Uruguayan could once again be the difference maker on Sunday.
