The Gialloblu look to maintain their remarkable relegation zone escape plan on Monday, according to these Verona vs. Salernitana predictions. The visitors will be looking over their shoulders though, as a win for the hosts would shrink the gap to just five points.
Verona vs. Salernitana odds
1 – Verona to win – 13/15
2 – Both teams to score – 14/13
3 – Over 2.5 goals scored – 24/23
4 – Cyril Ngonge to score anytime – 11/4
5 – A 1-1 draw at full-time – 6/1
Salernitana travel north to face Verona on Monday evening, looking to keep the resurgent Gialloblu at bay. A surprise turn in form has seen the hosts build a run of just one defeat in their last six games, as they hope to break clear of the Serie A bottom three.
Verona will not want to look to their recent form against Salernitana for inspiration though, as they’ve secured just one win in their last five encounters across both Serie A and Serie B. That having been said, Hellas have rarely had a run of form to match their current performances under Marco Zafferoni and we back the home side to take all three points at the Bentegodi.
While past fixtures may not make for pretty viewing for those in blue and yellow, they do predict an entertaining fixture on Monday evening. All of the last three meetings between the two sides have seen three goals or more scored, with both teams on the score sheet. Given that the Granata currently hold the worst defensive record in the league, a wager on another high scoring match may well pay off.
Another factor pointing towards a potential goal fest is the arrival of Cyril Ngonge in Verona. The forward from Groningen scored on his full debut against Lazio last week, having impressed in a 16-minute cameo the previous weekend.
In away colours, Salernitana forward Boulaye Dia has also been amongst the goals in recent weeks, with two in his last four matches, averaging a goal every other start. A wager on either of the forwards to score has strong odds but, with the Bentegodi behind him, Ngonge is our tip.
Despite the signs pointing towards goals on Monday night, it should be pointed out that neither side has been prolific this season. In fact, despite their impressive points haul, Verona have drawn three of their last six matches 1-1. With both sides in similar form over the past three weeks another stalemate could be the outcome on match day 22.

Verona team news
Marco Zafferoni is not expected to make any changes to his starting line-up to risk disrupting momentum. This should see Cyril Ngonge make his second start in Gialloblu, while Josh Doig will continue at left wing back having impressed in the past few weeks.
Salernitana team news
Davide Nicola is likely to retain his four-man defence despite bringing Matteo Lovato on at half time against Juventus. Federico Fazio, Nobert Gyomber, Ivan Radavanovic and Vincenzo Fiorillo miss out, but Giuio Maggiore and Pasquale Mazzocchi may return from injury to feature on the bench.
