This weekend’s Serie A action includes a potential early season relegation battle and these Salernitana vs. Verona predictions give an update on the latest picture in and around the drop zone. Hosts Salernitana are currently in 14th place in Serie A with Verona down in 18th after eight games played.
Salernitana vs. Verona odds
1 – A draw at – 34/13
2 – Salernitana under 1.5 total goals – 7/10
3 – Total goals scored under 2.5 – 21/20
4 – Both teams to score – 13/19
5 – A 1-1 draw at – 11/2
Neither side have enjoyed a particularly exciting start to the 2022-23 Serie A season but their respective form either side of the international break has been particularly poor.
Salernitana have drawn three and lost two of their last five league games with Verona losing three straight games ahead of their trip to Salerno this weekend.
With struggles for positivity for either team going into this contest, a draw looks to be a solid option, to try and give some cause for optimism ahead of a busy run of games across Serie A before the World Cup in November.
As expected, based on their collective form, goals have been an issue for both managers in recent weeks, with Salernitana scoring six in their last five games. Verona have fared even worse, with four goals scored in their last six domestic outings.
Within that streak of matches, Salernitana have scored over 1.5 goals inside 90 minutes just once, with Verona matching that paltry record in front of goal since the start of September.
Verona are the weaker of the two sides going into the game and just one of their last seven Serie A games have featured over 2.5 goals scored in total by both teams. Their total of seven league goals so far is the joint third lowest in the Italian top-flight.
A draw would stop a dreadful losing streak for Verona. But they do not look likely to snatch an unlikely first away win of the season, with Salernitana picking up just four points from four home league games at this stage in the 2022-23 season.

Salernitana team news
Salernitana boss Davide Nicola is still without two key players through injury, with Federico Fazio and Franck Ribery both still sidelined. However, on the back of a 5-0 thrashing at Sassuolo last time out, he is expected to make sweeping changes.
Verona team news
Verona head coach Gabriele Cioffi has a fully fit squad to choose from with no new injury issues for the away side. With their own uninspiring form, he could also rotate his starting XI, with Kevin Lasagna and Milan Duric potentially coming in.
